Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is in full swing, taking players on an exciting journey to uncover the mysteries of the past. Yet, a seemingly simple task is causing quite a bit of confusion. Here’s a detailed 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 likely know the location of your local museum. For new players, 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 close to other tasks in 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 and click on it. You’ll be prompted to “View” the Historical Display, and you’ll know you’ve completed the challenge when the Emit icon appears.
Despite the simplicity of this task, many 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 issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to attempt to study as many items as possible across different museums.
