Week 2 of the *The Sims 4* Blast from the Past event is in full swing, with players scouring the game's world to unravel the event's mystery. Yet, a seemingly simple task is causing quite the roadblock for many. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to study a Historical Display 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 location of your local museum. 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 in and start studying. 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 straightforward nature of this quest, numerous players are encountering issues. It appears that mods are interfering with the functionality of the "View" button, preventing players from studying the displays. Some have even tried removing all their 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 attempt to study as many items as possible across different museums.
