The *The Sims 4* Blast from the Past event has players buzzing with excitement as they embark on a quest to find various items scattered around their world. However, one particular task—the search for the Special Time Capsule—has left many scratching their heads. Fear not, as we guide you on where to find this elusive item before the event's clock runs out.
How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
Upon entering the Blast from the Past event, you'll be tasked with gathering information about a mysterious visitor named Emit. This involves watching TV, delving into social media profiles, and conversing with other Sims. While these activities are straightforward, the real challenge comes when you're instructed to locate the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.
The game provides minimal guidance, merely suggesting that you search for rocks in parks. If you've progressed this far, you'll have already encountered Emit at the park in Willow Creek, making it the perfect starting point for your quest. Explore the area until you spot a rock that seems to contain diamonds. Approach and interact with it to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Keep in mind that you might need to examine multiple rocks before finding the right one, but there should be plenty to investigate.
What’s Inside of the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4?
Once you've successfully located the Special Time Capsule, you'll be prompted to open it. Inside, you'll find an IOU note, which might feel a bit underwhelming after all your efforts. Nonetheless, read the note and then return to Emit to unlock further quests in the Blast from the Past event.
