The second week of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is now underway, offering players a chance to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the enigmatic visitor. Yet, one of the challenges hindering your progress and access to new rewards involves collecting Shards of Time. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to locate these elusive items in *The Sims 4*.
How to Find Shards of Time in the Blast from the Past Event in The Sims 4
As you delve deeper into the visitor's backstory and inquire about the "Shards of Time," *The Sims 4* sets you on a quest to find them. The game gives you a cryptic hint that these shards can be hidden within everyday objects like couches and refrigerators, but leaves you to figure out the rest.
Given the limited guidance, your best bet is to visit a residential area, where such items are plentiful. Whether it's your neighbor's home or your own, begin your search by examining every possible item until you uncover three Shards of Time. Keep in mind that not every search will yield results, but you can check the same items multiple times. Persistence is key, so don't give up on an item after a single unsuccessful attempt.
After a few minutes of diligent searching, you should have all the Shards of Time you need. Once you've collected them, return to Emit, who should be lingering in the park near the Special Time Capsule. Present the Shards to Emit, and he'll guide you on the next steps in your journey.
