The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is packed with exciting rewards, but earning them requires completing various challenges, including one that's particularly tricky. Here's how to break and repair a broken object to conquer this part of the event.
In Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, one of the challenges requires you to elevate your Handiness level to 2 or higher. While this part is straightforward, the subsequent task of repairing a broken object has left many players scratching their heads due to the lack of clear guidance.
The challenge requires you to fix a broken object, but the game doesn't indicate if there are any malfunctioning items in your world. The best strategy is to create a broken object yourself. You could use the "prank" option on an item, but this requires a specific Trait that might take casual players some time to unlock. Instead, for a simpler approach, just use an item repeatedly until it breaks.
A cost-effective choice is to add The Ambassador toilet to your home. Being a budget-friendly adult version, it's more prone to breaking. Use it about a dozen times, and you'll soon see it spraying water everywhere, officially marking it as a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can either do this yourself or invite others to use it, but either way, your toilet will be ready for repair.
Once your Handiness is at level 2, approach the broken object and choose the "Repair" option. It'll take just a few moments to stop the water waste and complete the Blast from the Past challenge successfully.
Repairing a broken object is just one piece of the puzzle in Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4*. To help you navigate through all the challenges, here's a complete list:
