The second week of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is here, offering a deeper dive into the mysterious visitor. But keeping them from progressing and unlocking those sweet rewards? That's the challenge. This guide reveals where to find those elusive Shards of Time.
How to Find Shards of Time in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event
After some investigating and asking around about "Shards of Time," The Sims 4 sends you on a scavenger hunt. The game's clues are vague, hinting that these shards might be hidden within everyday objects like couches and refrigerators.
Your best bet? Head to a residential area—your own home or a neighbor's—and start searching! Systematically check couches, refrigerators, and other common household items. Not every search will yield a shard, but you can search the same object multiple times. Persistence is key!
After a few minutes of searching, you should locate three Shards of Time. Once you have them, return to Emit (he should still be hanging around the park near the Special Time Capsule). Show him the shards, and he'll guide you to the next step.
