The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* brings a host of exciting rewards, but they don't come easy. One of the trickier challenges involves breaking and repairing an object, and here's how you can navigate this task smoothly.
How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4
During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you'll be tasked with raising your Handiness level to 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the challenge to repair a broken object can be frustrating due to the lack of guidance on finding something broken in your Sims' world. The solution? Break something yourself.
There are a few ways to break items, including using the "prank" option, but this requires a specific Trait that might not be readily available to casual players. Instead, opt for the simpler method: overuse an item until it breaks. The Ambassador toilet, being the cheapest adult version, is perfect for this. Use it around a dozen times, and it will start malfunctioning, spraying water everywhere. You can do this yourself or invite other Sims to help speed up the process. Once broken, this toilet will count as a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

With your Handiness skill at level 2, approach the broken object and select "Repair." It'll take just a few seconds, and you'll successfully fix the toilet, stopping the water waste and completing the challenge in the Blast from the Past event.
