Sims 4: Blast from the Past Time Capsule Location

A limited-time event in The Sims 4, "Blast from the Past," has players searching high and low for hidden items. One particularly tricky task involves locating the Special Time Capsule. This guide reveals its whereabouts before the event ends.

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 mystery surrounding a visitor named Emit. You'll gather clues through TV, social media, and conversations with other Sims. However, finding the Special Time Capsule presents a unique challenge.

The only clue? Look near rocks in parks. Having spoken to Emit at the Willow Creek park will provide a good starting point. Search the park area for a rock containing what looks like diamonds. Interact with it to unearth the Special Time Capsule. Note that you might need to check several rocks before finding the correct one.
