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 provides a straightforward solution.
Week 2's challenge requires raising your Sim's Handiness skill to level 2 or higher and then repairing a broken object. The difficulty lies in locating a broken item. Instead of searching, create a broken object yourself.
The easiest method is to repeatedly use an inexpensive item until it breaks. The Ambassador toilet is an ideal choice; using it approximately a dozen times will cause it to malfunction. This can be done by your Sim or by having guests use it. Once broken, the toilet will be flagged as a repairable item.
Repairing the broken object is simple. With your Sim's Handiness at level 2 or above, select the "Repair" option on the broken toilet. This will resolve the malfunction and complete the challenge.
