The second week of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is now live, and with it comes the opportunity to delve deeper into the mystery of the enigmatic visitor. But, to progress and unlock new rewards, you'll need to overcome a particular challenge: finding Shards of Time. Here's a comprehensive guide on where 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 story of the mysterious visitor, *The Sims 4* introduces a quest to find "Shards of Time." The game offers scant clues, suggesting only that these shards might be hidden within everyday items like couches and refrigerators.
Given the limited guidance, your best strategy is to head to a residential area where such items are plentiful. Whether it's your own home or a neighbor's, start rummaging through all possible items until you uncover the three Shards of Time you need. It's worth noting that not every search will yield results, but you can search the same item multiple times, so persistence is key.
After a thorough search, you should have all the shards required. Once you've collected them, return to Emit, who should be lingering in the park near the Special Time Capsule. Present the Shards of Time to him, and he'll guide you on the next steps in your journey.
