A limited-time event in The Sims 4, "Blast from the Past," has players on a scavenger hunt, but one task—locating the Special Time Capsule—is proving particularly tricky. Here's how to find it before time runs out.
How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event
The Blast from the Past event begins with a quest to uncover information about a mysterious visitor, Emit. This involves watching TV, checking social media, and chatting with other Sims. However, finding the Special Time Capsule adds a layer of complexity.
The clues are vague—look for rocks near parks. Having spoken to Emit at the Willow Creek park helps narrow your search. Examine rocks in the area; one will contain what looks like diamonds. Interact with it to unearth the Special Time Capsule. Note that you might need to check several rocks.
