Week 2 of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event presents a puzzling challenge: studying a Historical Display. This guide will help you overcome this obstacle.
Locating a Historical Display:
The Week 2 quest requires interacting with a Historical Display, which includes paintings and sculptures, found within museums. Consult your in-game map; museums are denoted by a pillar icon. Municipal Muses (Willow Creek) and The Future's Past (Oasis Springs) are conveniently located near other event tasks.
Studying the Display:
Upon entering a museum, locate a painting or sculpture. Click on the chosen item and select the "View" option. The successful completion of the task is confirmed by the appearance of an Emit icon.
Troubleshooting:
Many players report difficulties with this quest, often attributed to mods interfering with the "View" interaction. If you encounter this issue, consider temporarily disabling mods to see if that resolves the problem. If the problem persists, try examining multiple displays across different museums.
