However, the real challenge lies in finding a broken object to repair. Since there's no clear indicator of broken items in your world, the best strategy is to intentionally break something.

You can break an item by repeatedly using it. A simple and effective method is to install The Ambassador toilet in your home. This is the cheapest adult toilet available, making it more prone to breaking. Use it about a dozen times, and it will start spraying water, indicating it's broken. You can do this yourself or invite others to help speed up the process. Once broken, The Ambassador toilet will be recognized as a broken object in *The Sims 4*.
