How To Break & Repair a Broken Object in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event offers numerous rewards, but acquiring them presents challenges. One particularly tricky task involves breaking and repairing an object. This guide outlines the process.

Week 2's challenges require raising your Sim's Handiness skill to level 2 or higher. The subsequent task – repairing a broken object – proves more difficult due to the game's lack of clear indication of broken items. The easiest solution is to intentionally break something.

While using the "prank" interaction is an option, it necessitates specific Sim traits, adding unnecessary complexity. A simpler method involves repeatedly using an item until it breaks. The Ambassador toilet, being an inexpensive adult item, is ideal for this purpose. Repeated use (approximately a dozen times) will cause it to malfunction, thus fulfilling the "broken object" requirement. This can be achieved by your Sim or by inviting guests to use the toilet.

Repairing the broken object is straightforward once your Sim's Handiness skill reaches level 2. Simply select the "Repair" interaction on the broken item. This will take a few seconds to complete, resolving the challenge.
