Week 2 of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event presents players with a museum-based challenge: studying a Historical Display. This guide clarifies how to complete this seemingly simple, yet sometimes problematic, task.
Locating a Museum:
To begin, locate a museum on your in-game map. Look for the building icon depicting pillars. While several exist, the Municipal Museum in Willow Creek and The Future's Past in Oasis Springs offer convenient proximity to other event tasks.
Studying the Display:
Once inside the museum, interact with either a painting or sculpture (both qualify as Historical Displays). Select the "View" option. The successful completion of the quest is indicated by the appearance of the Emit icon.
Troubleshooting Common Issues:
Many players report difficulties with the "View" option, often attributed to conflicting mods. If you encounter this problem, consider temporarily disabling your mods. If the issue persists, try interacting with multiple displays in different museums. EA's awareness of the problem and a potential fix is hoped for.
