During Week 2 of the *Blast from the Past* event, you're tasked with not only reaching a Handiness level of 2 or higher, which is straightforward enough, but also with the trickier part of repairing a broken object. The catch? There's no easy way to spot a broken item in your Sims' world.

To tackle this, you'll need to break something yourself. One method involves using the "prank" option on an item, but that requires a specific Trait, which might be a hurdle for casual players. Instead, opt for the simpler route: break an item through overuse. A great item to target is The Ambassador toilet, which is not only affordable but also prone to breaking after about a dozen uses. You can either use it yourself or invite guests over to do the honors. Once it starts spraying water, you've successfully created a broken object in *The Sims 4*.
