How To Study a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

Week 2 of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is underway, presenting players with a captivating mystery. However, a seemingly simple task – studying a Historical Display – is proving unexpectedly challenging for some. This guide explains how to complete this objective and addresses common issues.

Locating a Historical Display:

The Week 2 quest requires studying a Historical Display within a museum. Experienced players likely know their local museum's location. New players should consult their in-game map, searching for the pillar icon denoting museums. While four museums exist, Municipal Muses (Willow Creek) and The Future's Past (Oasis Springs) are recommended due to their proximity to other event tasks.

Studying the Display:

Once inside a museum, locate a painting or sculpture (both qualify as Historical Displays). Click on the chosen item and select the "View" option. Successful completion is confirmed by the appearance of an Emit icon.

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

Many players report difficulties with the "View" option, often attributed to mods. If encountering this problem, consider temporarily disabling mods to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, attempting to view multiple displays across different museums might help.
