"Exploring Historical Displays in The Sims 4's Blast From the Past Event"

Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in The Sims 4 is in full swing, challenging players to explore and solve mysteries across the game's world. One task that's proving to be a bit of a hurdle is studying a Historical Display. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this in The Sims 4.

Where To Find a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

One of the quests in Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event requires you to study a Historical Display at a museum. If you're a seasoned The Sims 4 player, you're likely familiar with the locations of these cultural hubs. For newcomers, simply open your map and look for a building marked with an icon featuring pillars. There are four default museums, but the most convenient ones to visit are Municipal Muses in Willow Creek and The Future’s Past in Oasis Springs, as they are strategically located near other tasks related to the event.

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

Once you've located and traveled to a museum, it's time to dive into the task at hand. In The Sims 4, both paintings and sculptures count as Historical Displays. Choose the one that catches your eye, click on it, and select the "View" option. You'll know you've successfully completed the challenge when the Emit icon appears.

Despite the simplicity of this task, some players are encountering issues, particularly those using mods. It seems that mods can interfere with the "View" button's functionality, preventing players from studying the displays. Some have tried removing all mods to progress through the event, but without success. Hopefully, EA is aware of this glitch and working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to try studying as many items as possible at different museums.
