"Fixing Broken Objects in Sims 4 Event: A Guide"

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* offers a plethora of exciting rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. You'll need to conquer several challenges, and one particular task is giving players a headache. 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 challenges requires you to boost your Handiness level to 2 or above. This part is straightforward, but the next step—repairing a broken object—can be tricky because there's no clear indicator of what's broken in your Sims' world.

To tackle this, you'll need to break something yourself. You could use the "prank" option on an item, but that requires a specific Trait, which might be a hassle for casual players. Instead, opt for the more direct approach: overuse an item until it breaks. A great choice for this is The Ambassador toilet, which is the cheapest adult version available. By using it repeatedly—about a dozen times—it'll start spraying water, marking it as a broken object in *The Sims 4*. Whether you do this yourself or invite others to help, you'll soon have a broken toilet on your hands.

Once your Handiness level is at 2 or higher, you can approach the broken object and select "Repair." It will only take a few moments, and you'll successfully stop the toilet from wasting water, completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
