If you played the Sims 2 and 3, you may remember the missing person milk cartons. Now, they’re back in the fourth iteration, allowing you to collect different variants for decorations. You’ll see plenty of more callbacks to past entries, including Sims 2’s Get Up! Alarm Clock.

There are also some new items to claim, like the Surprise Birthday Cake. It’ll make birthday parties much more interesting, as a Sim can hide inside the cake to surprise their special someone. I just hope it doesn’t scare anyone to death, as Sims tend to die in the oddest ways. Fortunately, you can use the Life and Death cheats if things do go wrong.

All Sims 4 Blast from the Past quests

At the time of writing, only two quests are available in Sims 4’s Blast from the Past event. Each mission splits into multiple tasks that tie into a certain theme. You won’t be able to unlock too much content, but you can at least start knocking out Week 1’s objectives. So, without further ado, let’s dive into current missions:
