The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents players with a variety of rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. Among the challenges you'll face, one particular task is causing quite a stir. Let's dive into how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4* to help you navigate this event with ease.

How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you're tasked with raising your Handiness level to 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the challenge that's tripping up many players is the requirement to repair a broken object, and there's no clear indicator of what might be broken in your Sims' world. The solution? You need to break something yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait, complicating matters for casual players. Instead, opt for the simpler approach: break an item through overuse.

A cost-effective way to do this is by adding The Ambassador toilet to your home. Cheaper items tend to break more easily, and using this toilet around a dozen times will cause it to malfunction and spray water everywhere. You can either do this yourself or invite guests to help out, but either way, you'll have a broken object on your hands in *The Sims 4*.

With your Handiness at level 2 or higher, you can approach the broken object and select "Repair." It'll take just a few seconds, and you'll successfully stop the water wastage, completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
