Week 2 of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event presents a puzzling challenge: studying a Historical Display. This guide clarifies the process and addresses reported issues.
Locating a Historical Display:
The Week 2 quest requires interaction with a Historical Display, encompassing both paintings and sculptures found within museums. Use your in-game map to locate a museum (indicated by a pillar icon). Municipal Muses (Willow Creek) and The Future’s Past (Oasis Springs) offer convenient proximity to other event tasks.
Studying the Display:
Once inside the museum, select a painting or sculpture. Clicking it presents a "View" option. Successful completion is confirmed by the appearance of the Emit icon.
Troubleshooting:
Many players report difficulties, often attributed to mods interfering with the "View" functionality. If encountering this issue, temporarily disabling mods may resolve the problem. If the issue persists, attempting multiple displays across various museums is recommended. Hopefully, EA will address this bug soon.
