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 uncovering the secrets surrounding a mysterious visitor. This guide focuses on locating the elusive Shards of Time, crucial for progressing through the event and earning valuable rewards.
The quest for Shards of Time begins after conducting research on the visitor and inquiring about these artifacts. The Sims 4 provides minimal guidance, hinting that they're hidden within everyday household objects.
To maximize your chances of success, explore residential areas rich in potential hiding spots. Thoroughly search couches, refrigerators, and other common items in your Sim's home or your neighbors'. 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 in the park (near the Special Time Capsule). He'll guide you to the next stage of the event.
