The *Blast from the Past* event in *The Sims 4* offers players a range of exciting rewards, but they aren't easy to come by. One of the trickier challenges involves breaking and then repairing a broken object. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this task in *The Sims 4*.

How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

This part is straightforward, but the next step—repairing a broken object—can be quite frustrating due to the lack of clear instructions.

Since there's no immediate way to detect a broken object in your game world, the simplest approach is to intentionally break something. You can do this by repeatedly using an item until it breaks. For instance, selecting the "prank" option on an item requires a specific Trait, which might be cumbersome for casual players. Instead, opt for the straightforward method of breaking an item through regular use.

A cost-effective choice for this task is *The Ambassador* toilet, which is the cheapest adult toilet available. By using it about a dozen times, it will eventually break and start spraying water. You can either do this yourself or invite other Sims to your home to use it, but either way, you'll end up with a broken object ready to be repaired in *The Sims 4*.

Repairing a broken object is just one part of the quests required to complete Week 2 of the *Blast from the Past* event in *The Sims 4*. Here’s the complete list of challenges for Week 2:
