A thrilling limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players buzzing as they hunt for items around their virtual world. One task, in particular, has stirred up some confusion: finding the Special Time Capsule during the Blast from the Past event. Don't let time slip away—here's how to locate this elusive item before the event ends.

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 collecting information about a mysterious visitor named Emit. This involves watching TV, delving into social media profiles, and engaging in conversations with other Sims. However, the real challenge comes when you're tasked with finding the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.

The game provides minimal guidance, suggesting only to search for rocks in parks. If you've already spoken to Emit at the park in Willow Creek, you're on the right track. Explore the area until you spot a rock that looks like it contains diamonds. Approach it and interact to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Be prepared to investigate multiple rocks, but rest assured, there are plenty to choose from.
