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

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is packed with exciting rewards, but earning them is no walk in the park. One of the challenges that's causing a stir involves breaking and then repairing an object. Here's your step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this 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 boosting your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the challenge to repair a broken object can be tricky, as there's no guaranteed way to spot one in your world. The simplest solution is to intentionally break something yourself. While you could use the "prank" interaction, this requires a specific Trait that might take extra time to acquire. Instead, opt for the direct approach: wear an item out through repeated use.

A cost-effective option is to add The Ambassador toilet to your Sim's home. Cheaper items tend to break more easily, and using this toilet around a dozen times should cause it to malfunction and start spraying water. You can do this yourself or invite other Sims to your home to help speed up the process. Once the toilet is broken, you've successfully created a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

With your Handiness skill at level 2, approach the broken object and choose the "Repair" option. It'll only take a few moments, and you'll stop the toilet from wasting water, thereby completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
