Unlocking the Mysteries of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event: Finding Shards of Time
The second week of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is underway, presenting players with the intriguing task of investigating a mysterious visitor. A key challenge involves locating elusive Shards of Time to progress and earn rewards. This guide will help you discover their hidden locations.
The quest for Shards of Time begins after researching the visitor and inquiring about these enigmatic objects. The Sims 4 offers limited guidance, hinting at their presence within everyday household items like couches and refrigerators.
To maximize your chances of success, focus your search on residential areas rich in potential hiding spots. Explore your Sim's home or those of your neighbors, meticulously examining every item. Remember, not every search will yield a Shard, but persistence pays off; you can repeatedly search the same object.
Once you've unearthed three Shards of Time (after a few minutes of diligent searching), return to Emit, who remains near the Special Time Capsule location in the park. He'll guide you to the next stage of the event.
