Long-time players of *The Sims 4* likely know the location of their local museum. For newcomers, simply open the map and look for a building marked with an icon featuring pillars.

Upon arriving at a museum, it's time to step inside and start studying. In *The Sims 4*, both paintings and sculptures qualify as Historical Displays. Choose the one that catches your eye, click on it, and select the "View" option. The Emit icon will appear, confirming that you've completed the challenge.

Despite the simplicity of the task, numerous players are encountering issues. Mods appear to be the culprit, causing the "View" button to malfunction and preventing players from studying the Historical Display. Some have tried removing all mods to progress through the event, yet the problem persists. Hopefully, EA is aware and working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to try studying as many items as possible across different museums.
