A limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players on a thrilling scavenger hunt, but one task stands out as particularly puzzling. Here’s your guide to finding the Special Time Capsule during the Blast from the Past event before time slips away.
How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
As you embark on the Blast from the Past event, your journey begins with gathering intel on a mysterious character named Emit. You'll need to tune into TV shows, sift through social media, and chat with fellow Sims. Yet, the real challenge kicks in when you're tasked with locating the elusive Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.
You're given a vague hint to search for rocks in parks. If you've reached this stage, you've likely already met Emit at the park in Willow Creek, making it an excellent starting point. Scan the vicinity until you spot a rock that glimmers with what looks like diamonds. Approach and interact with it to dig up the Special Time Capsule. Be prepared to check multiple rocks, as persistence is key, and there are plenty scattered around.
