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 explains how.

Week 2's challenge requires raising your Sim's Handiness skill to level 2 or higher, then repairing a broken object. The difficulty lies in identifying a broken item. The simplest solution is to break something yourself. While using the "prank" interaction is an option, it requires specific traits, adding unnecessary complexity. A more straightforward approach is to repeatedly use an item until it breaks.

The Ambassador toilet is an inexpensive choice. Repeated use (around a dozen flushes) will cause it to malfunction, spraying water. This can be done by your Sim or a guest.

Repairing the broken object is simple once your Handiness skill is at level 2. Select the "Repair" option on the broken item; it will take a few seconds to complete the repair and the challenge.
