How To Break & Repair a Broken Object in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is packed with rewards, but earning them requires tackling various challenges. One particularly tricky task involves breaking and repairing an object. This guide shows you how.

Finding a Broken Object in The Sims 4

Week 2's Blast from the Past challenge requires raising your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher and then repairing a broken object. The challenge lies in locating a broken item, as the game doesn't explicitly highlight them. The easiest solution? Break something yourself! While you can use the "prank" interaction, this requires specific Sims traits. A simpler method is to repeatedly use an item until it breaks.

The Ambassador toilet is a cost-effective choice. Its low durability means it'll break after about a dozen uses. You can do this yourself or have other Sims use it. Once it starts malfunctioning (spraying water), it's considered broken.

With your Handiness skill at level 2 or higher, simply select the "Repair" option on the broken object. It'll take a few seconds, but once complete, you'll fix the toilet and finish the challenge.
