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

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents players with a variety of challenges, each offering unique rewards. One particular challenge in Week 2 is proving to be quite the hurdle. Here’s a detailed 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, one of the tasks requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or above, which is straightforward. However, the subsequent challenge 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 broken objects, the best strategy is to create one yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait that might not be readily available to all players. Instead, opt for the more direct approach: overuse an item until it breaks. The Ambassador toilet, being one of the cheapest adult toilets, is perfect for this task. By using it repeatedly—about a dozen times—it will eventually malfunction and start spraying water, marking it as a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can either do this yourself or invite guests to help speed up the process.

Once your Handiness skill is at level 2, you can easily repair the broken object. Simply approach the malfunctioning item, select the "Repair" option, and within a few moments, you'll fix the issue, such as stopping the toilet from leaking. Completing this task will help you progress in the Blast from the Past event.
