Sims 4 Event: Break and Repair Guide

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* offers players a variety of rewards, but earning them is no small feat. Among the challenges you'll face in Week 2, one stands out as particularly tricky: breaking and repairing a broken object. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this task.

How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

One of the challenges during Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher. While this part is straightforward, the subsequent task of repairing a broken object can be quite frustrating due to the lack of clear instructions.

The challenge is to repair a broken object, but there's no immediate way to determine if something in your Sims' world is broken. The most effective strategy is to break an item yourself. You could use the "prank" option on an item, but this requires a specific Trait, which might be a hurdle for casual players. A simpler approach is to break an item through repeated use.

Adding The Ambassador toilet to your home is a cost-effective way to achieve this, as it's the cheapest adult toilet available. Cheaper items tend to break more easily, and using this toilet about a dozen times will cause it to malfunction and start spraying water. You can do this yourself or invite other Sims to help, but eventually, your toilet will become a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

Once your Handiness skill reaches level 2, you can approach the broken object and select the "Repair" option. The repair process will take just a few seconds, and you'll successfully stop the toilet from wasting water, thereby completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
