The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event has players searching high and low for hidden items. One particularly tricky task involves locating the Special Time Capsule. This guide will help you find it before the event ends.

Finding the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event

The event begins with a quest to uncover information about a mysterious visitor, Emit. While tasks like watching TV and checking social media are straightforward, the Special Time Capsule hunt proves more challenging.

Clues point to rocks in parks. Having spoken to Emit in Willow Creek park, start your search there. Examine rocks; one will contain what looks like diamonds. Interact with it to unearth the capsule. Note that you might need to check multiple rocks.

What's Inside the Special Time Capsule?

Opening the capsule reveals an IOU note – a somewhat underwhelming reward for the effort involved. Read the note and return to Emit to unlock further quests within the event.
