"Fixing Broken Objects in Sims 4: Blast From the Past Guide"

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents a variety of rewards, but earning them requires completing several challenges, one of which can be particularly tricky. Here's a detailed guide on how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4* to help you navigate this challenge with ease.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, one of the challenges requires you to increase your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher. While this is straightforward, the subsequent task of repairing a broken object can be frustrating due to the lack of clear instructions.

To proceed, you'll need to find or create a broken object. Since it's not always obvious if an item in your world is broken, the best strategy is to break something yourself. While you can use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait that might not be readily available for all players. Instead, opt for the more direct method of using an item until it breaks.

A practical approach is to purchase The Ambassador toilet, the cheapest adult toilet available. These lower-cost items are more prone to breaking. After using it approximately a dozen times, the toilet will malfunction and start spraying water, officially classifying it as a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can either do this yourself or invite guests to use it, but either way, you'll have a broken toilet ready for repair.

With your Handiness skill at level 2 or higher, approach the broken object and select the "Repair" option. It will take a few moments, but successfully repairing the toilet will stop the water wastage and allow you to complete the Blast from the Past challenge.

Repairing a broken object is just one part of the Week 2 challenges for the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4*. Here's a comprehensive list of all the quests you need to complete:
