Sims 4 Event: Break and Repair Guide

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is packed with exciting challenges and rewards, but they can be quite the grind to earn. One particular task in Week 2 is proving to be a real headache for many players. Let's dive into how you can break and then repair a broken object in *The Sims 4* to conquer this challenge.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

One of the Week 2 challenges of the Blast from the Past event requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher, which is manageable. However, the subsequent task—repairing a broken object—has left many players scratching their heads, as there's no straightforward way to locate a broken item in the game. The simplest solution? Break something yourself!

Since there’s no easy way to find a broken object in your world, you’ll need to create one. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this method requires a specific Trait, which might be a hurdle for casual players. Instead, the straightforward approach is to break an item through regular use. The Ambassador toilet is your best bet here—it's the cheapest adult toilet available, and more likely to break with frequent use.

Just use the toilet about a dozen times, and it will start malfunctioning, spraying water everywhere. You can do this yourself or invite guests over to help speed up the process. Once it's broken, you'll have your very own broken object in *The Sims 4* ready for repair.

With your Handiness skill at level 2, you're all set to tackle the repair. Simply approach the broken object, select "Repair," and after a few moments, you'll fix the toilet, stopping the water waste and completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
