The *The Sims 4* community is buzzing with excitement over the limited-time Blast from the Past event, but one particular task is leaving players scratching their heads. If you're on the hunt for the elusive Special Time Capsule, we've got you covered on where to find it before the clock runs out.
How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
Jumping into the Blast from the Past event, you'll be tasked with unraveling the mystery surrounding Emit, a visitor from the past. Your journey involves watching TV, diving into social media, and chatting with other Sims. But when it comes to finding the Special Time Capsule, things get a bit tricky.
The game gives you a vague hint to search for rocks in parks. If you've already spoken to Emit at Willow Creek's park, you're on the right track. Start your search there, and keep an eye out for a rock that seems to have diamonds embedded within it. Interact with this rock to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Remember, you might need to check multiple rocks, but don't worry—there are plenty to choose from.
What’s Inside of the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4?
Upon finding the Special Time Capsule, you'll be prompted to open it. Inside, you'll discover an IOU note, which might feel a bit underwhelming after all the effort. Nonetheless, read the note and head back to Emit to unlock more quests in the Blast from the Past event.
