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

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* brings a host of exciting rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. With numerous challenges to tackle, one particular task is proving to be quite the headache. Here's your step-by-step guide on how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

In Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, one of the challenges requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or above. While this part is straightforward, the second requirement—repairing a broken object—can be quite tricky, especially since there's no clear indicator of broken items in your world.

To address this, you'll need to break an object intentionally. 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 tried-and-true method of using an item repeatedly until it breaks. The Ambassador toilet is a cost-effective choice for this task. After about a dozen uses, it will start malfunctioning and spraying water, marking it as a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can either do this yourself or invite others to your home to help out.

Once your Handiness skill is at level 2, approach the broken object and select the "Repair" option. It will take just a few moments to fix, stopping the toilet from wasting water and allowing you to complete the Blast from the Past challenge successfully.
