"Fixing Broken Objects in Sims 4 Event: A Guide"

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents players with a variety of rewards, but earning them can be quite the challenge. Among the tasks, one particular challenge in Week 2 is causing some frustration. Here’s a detailed guide on how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4* to help you navigate this event successfully.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

One of the challenges in Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event requires you to raise your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher. Achieving this is straightforward, but the subsequent task of repairing a broken object can be tricky due to the lack of clear instructions on finding a broken item.

Since the game doesn't explicitly show you broken objects, the simplest approach is to break something yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait, which might not be ideal for casual players. Instead, opt for the more direct method: overuse an item until it breaks.

The Ambassador toilet is an affordable option for this task. Being a cheaper item, it's more prone to breaking. By using it repeatedly, about a dozen times, you'll notice it start spraying water, indicating it's now broken. You can either do this yourself or have guests use it until it breaks, making it a recognized broken object in *The Sims 4*.

With your Handiness skill at level 2, repairing the broken object is straightforward. Simply approach the broken item, select the "Repair" option, and wait a few seconds. Successfully repairing the toilet will stop the water waste and allow you to complete the Blast from the Past challenge.
