Amidst the excitement, one task stands out as particularly perplexing: 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

Embarking on the Blast from the Past event, you'll be tasked with piecing together the story of a mysterious visitor named Emit. This involves a variety of activities such as watching TV, delving into social media profiles, and conversing with other Sims. However, the real challenge comes when you're directed to find the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.

The game provides sparse details, merely suggesting to search for rocks in parks.

Roam the area until you spot a rock that seems to contain diamonds. Approach and interact with it to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Keep in mind, you might need to investigate multiple rocks to succeed, but there will be plenty to choose from.
