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

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents players with a variety of rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. You'll encounter several challenges, and one specific task has been particularly challenging. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you're tasked with raising your Handiness level to 2 or higher, which is straightforward enough. However, the subsequent part of the challenge, requiring you to repair a broken object, can be frustrating due to the lack of guidance on finding broken items in the game.

To tackle this, you might need to break an item yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an object, this method requires a specific Trait, which could be time-consuming for casual players to unlock. A simpler approach is to break an item through regular use. For instance, by adding The Ambassador toilet to your home, you get the cheapest adult version of the item. Cheaper items tend to break more easily, and using this toilet repeatedly—about a dozen times—will cause it to malfunction and spray water everywhere. You can do this yourself or have guests use it until it breaks, marking it as a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

With your Handiness level at 2 or above, you can approach the broken object and select "Repair." It takes just a few seconds to fix the item, such as stopping the toilet from wasting water, and thereby complete the Blast from the Past challenge.
