Uncover the Secrets of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event: Locating the Elusive Special Time Capsule
The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event has players on a scavenger hunt, but one task proves particularly tricky: finding the Special Time Capsule. This guide will help you locate it before the event concludes.

The event begins with a quest to gather information about a mysterious visitor, Emit. You'll engage in typical Sims activities – watching TV, checking social media, and conversing with other Sims. However, the search for the Special Time Capsule adds a layer of complexity.
Clues are scarce, mentioning rocks in parks. Having already met Emit in Willow Creek park, that's a logical starting point. Examine rocks in the area; one will contain what appears to be diamonds. Interact with this rock to unearth the Special Time Capsule. Note that multiple rocks might need investigating.
The Contents of the Special Time Capsule: A Twist
Opening the Special Time Capsule reveals an IOU note – a somewhat underwhelming discovery after the search. Read the note and return to Emit to unlock further quests within the Blast from the Past event.
