I'm trying to study a historical display at the museum for the event and no matter what I click all I get is view with Emits picture on it. I've tried all my museums. I even took out my mods and repaired the game and still the same thing.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
I couldn't get any objects to work, but I tried reset sim (simname) and that triggered that part of the quest as complete.
This just worked for me! Thank you! Note: I actually don't have the Willow Creek museum in my save anymore cus I replaced the lot, but I tried placing this specific painting in the Brindleton Bay museum and clicked View and it FINALLY worked!! So thank you!
I was able to complete the step by Viewing art at a museum.
I'm having the same issue - went to Willow Creek museum - which I rebuild so thought it was that so I went to Oasis Springs which I never changed - and it doesn't work there. I tried giving my sim the art lover trait in case there as a "study" option as an art lover, but also did not help. Based on the comments above you have to keep trying until something finally does give the option.
Do the new task is “study A historical display at a museum.“ It further says “travel to a museum venue, select study historical display on any work of art or sculpture.“ I am at a museum. I click on sculptures and works of art. I see no interaction that says “study” The only interactions are “view” with that little blue creature emoji next to it. But simply viewing the work of art does not satisfy the task. Of course once again EA creates a glitchy task.
Guys , just click on random statue , if that’s the random item , then it will fulfill , mine was the “the coat of arms with shield and swords”
nickinbigd Go to the Magnolia Blossom museum and stare at the suit of armor for a looong time.
Edit: I meant the Willow Creek museum, obviously. Sorry.
Thank you Trowicia. This worked for me.
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!
At first, using View on a painting in the Oasis Springs Museum did nothing, then I cancelled the action (triangle on PlayStation 5). On a second try, I queued View on two different pieces of art at the museum and went to try doing the same for my other Sim in the same household. Once the first Sim’s action concluded (invisible timer), it finished the mission successfully — and my Sim was very pleased with himself going downstairs in the museum to do the second View I’ve queued. 😆
So maybe it’s not the specific piece of art that’s the issue, but the invisible timer for the action to complete?
If it helps, it may only work with paintings. That's what happened to me. I tried to view a sculpture for at least 4 hours in game. Only worked after I switched to viewing a painting
