The second week of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is here, offering players a deeper dive into the mysterious visitor's secrets. However, preventing their progress and unlocking new rewards presents a unique challenge. This guide reveals the location of those elusive Shards of Time.
Finding Shards of Time in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event
After investigating the visitor and inquiring about "Shards of Time," The Sims 4 tasks you with a scavenger hunt. The game cryptically hints at their location within everyday household items like couches and refrigerators.
To maximize your chances, explore residential areas rich in these common objects. Whether it's your Sim's home or a neighbor's, systematically search every item. Remember, not every search will yield a Shard, but you can repeatedly check the same object. Persistence is key!
After a few minutes of searching, you should gather the three required Shards. Return to Emit (still hanging around the park near the Special Time Capsule) and show him your findings to progress to the next stage.
