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, one particular task is proving to be quite the headache. Here's a detailed guide on how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4* to help you navigate through this event.

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 elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher. While this part is straightforward, the subsequent task of repairing a broken object can be frustrating due to the lack of clear instructions on finding such an item.

Since the game doesn't provide a direct way to identify broken objects, the best strategy is to create one yourself. You can do this by repeatedly using an item until it breaks. One effective method is to use the "prank" option on an item, but this requires a specific Trait, which might not be ideal for casual players. Instead, opt for the simpler approach of using an item until it fails.

Consider adding The Ambassador toilet to your home, as it's the cheapest adult version available. Cheaper items tend to break more easily, and using this toilet around a dozen times will cause it to malfunction and start spraying water. You can either do this yourself or invite guests to use it, but either way, you'll end up with a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

Once your Handiness skill is at level 2, you can approach the broken object and select the "Repair" option. It will take a few moments, but you'll successfully fix the toilet, stopping the water waste and completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
