The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* offers players a variety of rewards, but earning them can be quite the challenge. Among the tasks you'll face, one particularly tricky challenge involves breaking and repairing an object. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this in *The Sims 4*.

During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, one of the challenges requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher. While this is straightforward, the subsequent task of repairing a broken object can be frustrating due to the lack of clear instructions.

The game prompts you to fix a broken object, but it doesn't tell you where to find one. The most reliable method is to break an item yourself. You can choose the "prank" option on an item, but this requires a specific Trait, which might not be ideal for casual players. Instead, opt for the more direct approach: overuse an item until it breaks.

A cost-effective choice is The Ambassador toilet. Being one of the cheapest adult toilets, it's more prone to breaking. By using it around a dozen times, it will eventually malfunction and start spraying water. You can do this yourself or invite others to your home to help with the task. Once it's broken, you'll have a repairable object in *The Sims 4*.
