Unlocking the Mysteries of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past Event: Finding Shards of Time
The second week of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is underway, presenting players with the challenge of locating elusive Shards of Time to progress through the event's mysteries. This guide will help you uncover these hidden artifacts.
Following initial investigation of the mysterious visitor and inquiries about "Shards of Time," the game prompts you to embark on a scavenger hunt. The game offers limited guidance, hinting that these shards are hidden within everyday household objects like couches and refrigerators.
To maximize your chances of success, focus your search on residential areas rich in potential hiding spots. Explore your Sim's own home or those of their neighbors, meticulously searching every item. Remember, not every search will yield a Shard of Time. Persistence is key; don't give up on an item after an unsuccessful first attempt. Repeatedly searching the same object may reveal a hidden shard.
After a short search, you should locate the required three Shards of Time. Return to Emit (located near the Special Time Capsule in the park) to present your findings and unlock the next stage of the event.
