[CLOSED] Blast From the Past: Study Historical Display not appearing

I was having the same problem.  I looked at a painting and a sculpture with View.. no progress. Then I tried your two objects, exactly as stated.  And this worked for me, thank you!

I finally got it to work, randomly. Thank you 

I’m having the same issue. I started in Willow and have went to every museum in the game and still nothing

I was able to complete it by just letting my sim finish viewing the sculpture without interruption. I didn't have any mods installed.

I have the same issue. Please fix it, I want the items.

Same. Very frustrating!

Just tried this as well and nothing 

This worked for me thank you

For a second I thought it was bugged, but despite the action being misnamed (View), it seems that it completes on an invisible timer? The View action, even outside this event, doesn’t seem to have a circular timer, but it does seem to have an invisible one — and a looong one at that!

.... 

So maybe it’s not the specific piece of art that’s the issue, but the invisible timer for the action to complete?

This was my experience as well. I tried several items in several museums and nothing worked. I rebooted my game and went to the willow creek museum because it felt like the safest option. only had a 'view' option the blue icon was available, no study option with the quest icon. The task appeared in the task box but no message or no timer to indicate this was the right thing to do for the task. In previous attempts I cancelled it because I thought she was stuck because this action takes forever with no indication of progress. This time I decided to wait until my sim stopped autonomously which took several sim hours without. And then shortly after she stopped it checked off. 

I can't remember which item she watched but it was a base game museum with zero changes. 

It worked for me! Thank you so much!!!
