Here's a detailed guide on how to find the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4* Blast from the Past event before the clock runs out.
How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
Upon starting the Blast from the Past event, you'll be tasked with gathering information about the enigmatic visitor, Emit. This involves watching TV, browsing social media profiles, and engaging in conversations with other Sims. These steps are straightforward, but the challenge escalates when you're directed to locate the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.
The clues are sparse, suggesting only that you search for rocks in parks. If you've progressed this far, you'll have already met Emit at the park in Willow Creek—a perfect starting point for your treasure hunt. Explore the vicinity until you spot a rock that appears to contain diamonds. Approach and interact with this rock to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Be prepared to inspect multiple rocks, as the capsule might not be in the first one you find, but there are plenty of rocks to check.
