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 repa...

Did either of you try view ?
I did and and first it didn't work but then I choose a sculpture on a table and this time it did fulfill.
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?

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.
