Week 2 of the *The Sims 4* Blast from the Past event is in full swing, with players scouring the map to solve the ongoing mystery. However, a seemingly simple task is causing quite the roadblock for many. Let's dive into how to study a Historical Display in *The Sims 4*.

If you're a seasoned *The Sims 4* player, you likely know where your local museum is located. 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 close to other tasks in the event.

Once you've located and traveled to a museum, it's time to delve into the study session. Both paintings and sculptures count as Historical Displays in *The Sims 4*. Choose the one that catches your eye and click on it. You'll be prompted to "View" the Historical Display, and the Emit icon will confirm that you've completed the challenge.

Despite the straightforward nature of this quest, many players are encountering issues. It appears that mods are interfering with the "View" button's functionality, preventing players from studying the displays. Some have even tried removing all their mods to progress, but with little success. Hopefully, EA is aware of this glitch and is working on a fix. In the meantime, your best bet is to attempt studying multiple items at various museums.
