Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is in full swing, sending players on a thrilling quest across the map to unravel the mysteries of the past. However, a seemingly simple task has become a stumbling block for many: studying a Historical Display. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete this task 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 player, you're likely familiar with the locations of these cultural hubs. For newcomers, simply open your map and look for buildings marked with an icon featuring pillars. The most convenient museums 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
Upon arriving at a museum, enter the building and begin your quest. In *The Sims 4*, both paintings and sculptures qualify as Historical Displays. Choose the one that piques your interest and interact with it by clicking on it. A prompt will appear to "View" the Historical Display, and you'll know you've completed the challenge when the Emit icon appears.
Despite the simplicity of the 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, yet the problem persists. Hopefully, EA is working on a fix. In the meantime, the best strategy is to attempt studying various items at multiple museums to increase your chances of success.
