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

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents a variety of exciting rewards, but earning them can be quite challenging. One of the trickier tasks involves breaking and repairing an object. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this in *The Sims 4*.

How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

In Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you're tasked with reaching a Handiness level of 2 or higher, which is straightforward. The challenge, however, lies in the subsequent requirement to repair a broken object. Since there's no immediate way to detect broken objects in your world, the best approach is to create one yourself.

While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait that might not be readily available to casual players. Instead, opt for the more direct method: overuse an item until it breaks. The Ambassador toilet is an ideal choice for this task as it's the cheapest adult version available. By using it repeatedly—about a dozen times—it will eventually malfunction and start spraying water, officially becoming a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can do this yourself or invite guests to help speed up the process.

Once your Handiness skill is at level 2, approach the broken object and select "Repair." The process will take just a few seconds, and you'll successfully fix the toilet, stopping the water wastage and completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
