The second week of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is now live, offering players a chance to delve deeper into the mystery of the enigmatic visitor. However, one of the challenges involves finding elusive items known as Shards of Time, which are crucial for progressing and unlocking new rewards. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate these Shards of Time in *The Sims 4*.
How to Find Shards of Time in the Blast from the Past Event in The Sims 4
As you delve further into the visitor's backstory and inquire about the Shards of Time, *The Sims 4* sets you on a quest to find these mysterious objects. The game hints that they can be discovered by rummaging through everyday household items such as couches and refrigerators, but offers little more in terms of guidance.
Given the lack of specific directions, your best bet is to explore residential areas where these common items are plentiful. Whether you choose to search your own home or your neighbors', the key is to thoroughly inspect every possible item until you uncover three Shards of Time. Keep in mind that not every search will yield results, but you can search the same item multiple times, so persistence is key.
After a diligent search, you should eventually gather all the necessary Shards. Once you have them, return to Emit, who should be waiting in the park near the Special Time Capsule. Present the Shards to Emit, and he will guide you on the next steps in the event.
