The second week of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is here, offering a deeper dive into the mysterious visitor. But unlocking those sweet rewards requires a bit of detective work. This guide shows you how to find the elusive Shards of Time.
How to Find Shards of Time in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event
The visitor's quest leads you on a hunt for "Shards of Time." The game offers cryptic clues, hinting that these shards are hidden within everyday household objects like couches and refrigerators.
To begin your search, head to a residential lot—your own home or a neighbor's will do nicely. Systematically search everyday objects. Remember, not every search will yield a shard, but you can search the same item multiple times. Persistence is key!
After a few minutes of diligent searching, you should locate three Shards of Time. Return to Emit (still hanging around the park near the Special Time Capsule) and show him your findings. He'll guide you to the next stage of the event.
