Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is in full swing, sending players on an exciting quest to uncover the mysteries of the past. However, a seemingly simple task is proving to be a hurdle for many. 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 Blast from the Past Week 2 involves studying 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 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 near other tasks in the event.
How To Study a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event
After locating and traveling to a museum, it's time to dive into the historical exploration. In *The Sims 4*, both paintings and sculptures count as Historical Displays. Choose the one that piques your interest and click on it. You'll be prompted to "View" the Historical Display, and an Emit icon will confirm that you've successfully completed the challenge.
Despite the simplicity of this task, numerous players are encountering issues. It appears that mods can interfere with the functionality of the "View" button, preventing players from studying the displays. Some have resorted to removing all their mods in an attempt to progress, but with little success. Hopefully, EA is aware of this issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to try studying multiple items at various museums.
