A thrilling limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players buzzing as they race to find items scattered throughout their world. One task, in particular, has stirred up some confusion: locating the Special Time Capsule in the *The Sims 4* Blast from the Past event. Here's how you can find it before the clock runs out.
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, the game will guide you on a quest to gather clues about the mysterious visitor, Emit. This involves watching TV, scouring social media profiles, and conversing with other Sims. The real challenge comes when you're tasked with finding the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.
The game provides little guidance, merely suggesting to search for rocks in parks. If you've progressed this far, you'll have already met Emit at the park in Willow Creek, making it an ideal starting point for your search. Wander around until you spot a rock that looks like it contains diamonds. Approach and interact with it to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Be prepared to inspect multiple rocks, as it might take a few tries to find the right one, but there are plenty to choose from.

Once you successfully locate the Special Time Capsule, the next step is to open it. Inside, you'll find an IOU note, which might feel a bit underwhelming after all the effort. Nonetheless, read the note and then return to Emit to unlock further quests in the Blast from the Past event.
