How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

Week 2's Blast from the Past challenges requires reaching Handiness skill level 2 - manageable enough - but the subsequent repair task leaves many players puzzled without clear guidance.

Since locating pre-broken items proves unreliable, players should create their own broken objects. While the "prank" interaction works, it requires specific character traits unavailable to casual players. The simplest solution? Good old-fashioned wear-and-tear.

The Ambassador toilet serves as the perfect candidate - being both affordable for adult Sims and prone to malfunction. After roughly a dozen uses (whether by your Sim or guests), it'll start spraying water, officially marking it as broken.
