Week 2 of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event presents 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 are conveniently located near 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 completion of the quest will be indicated by the appearance of the Emit icon.
Troubleshooting:
Many players report difficulties with this quest, often attributed to mods interfering with the "View" function. If you encounter this issue, consider temporarily disabling mods to see if this resolves the problem. If the problem persists, try interacting with multiple displays in different museums.
