A thrilling limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players on a quest to uncover hidden treasures around their virtual world. One particular task, however, has left many scratching their heads: locating the Special Time Capsule during the Blast from the Past event. Here's your guide to finding this elusive item before the clock runs out.
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 clues about a mysterious visitor named Emit. This involves watching TV, scrolling through social media, and chatting with other Sims. The real challenge kicks in when you're tasked with finding the Special Time Capsule.
The game hints at searching for rocks in parks, but doesn't give much more to go on. If you've already spoken to Emit at the park in Willow Creek, you're on the right track. Start your search there, scanning the area for a rock that seems to sparkle with diamonds inside. Once you spot it, interact with the rock to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Be prepared to check multiple rocks, as the capsule might not be in the first one you find.

After successfully locating the Special Time Capsule, you'll be prompted to open it. Inside, you'll find an IOU note, which might seem underwhelming after all your hard work. Nonetheless, read the note and then head back to Emit to unlock further quests in the Blast from the Past event.
