The Blast from the Past event in The Sims 4 presents players with exciting rewards, though they require some effort to unlock. Among the various challenges, one particular task involving broken objects has proven particularly tricky. Here's your guide to breaking and repairing objects successfully in *The Sims 4*.
How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4
Week 2's Blast from the Past challenge requires boosting your Handiness skill to level 2, which is straightforward enough. However, the second objective - repairing a broken object - has left many players confused without clear instructions.
Since broken objects don't naturally appear frequently, the simplest solution is to create your own broken item. While some players might consider using the "prank" interaction (requiring specific Traits), the easiest approach is through good old-fashioned wear and tear.
The Ambassador toilet proves ideal for this purpose. As one of the most budget-friendly fixtures available, it's prone to breaking with repeated use. After approximately a dozen uses, it will malfunction dramatically, spraying water everywhere - now officially qualifying as a broken object in your household.
