A limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players on a scavenger hunt, searching for hidden items. One particularly tricky task involves locating the Special Time Capsule during the Blast from the Past event. Here's how to find it before time runs out.

How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 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.

Clues are scarce, hinting only at rocks near parks. Having spoken to Emit at the Willow Creek park, begin your search there. Examine rocks in the area; look for one containing what appears to be diamonds. Interact with it to unearth the Special Time Capsule. Note that you might need to investigate several rocks before finding it, but there are plenty to explore.
