Where To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event

As soon as you dive into the Blast from the Past event, the game will send you off into the world to collect information about a mysterious visitor, Emit. You’ll need to watch TV, investigate social media profiles, and talk to other Sims. However, while that’s all pretty simple, things get complicated when you’re asked to find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4.

You don’t get much information other than to look for rocks around parks. If you’ve gotten this far, though, you will have talked to Emit at the park in Willow Creek, which is a good place to start your mission. Look around the area until you come across a rock with what appears to be diamonds inside of it. Head over and interact with the object to dig for the Special Time Capsule. It’s important to note that it may take investigating more than one rock to complete the mission, but there should be plenty around.

What’s Inside of the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4?

Once you find the Special Time Capsule, the game asks you to open it. Doing that will reveal an IOU note, which is a bit anticlimactic, given all the effort that went into finding it. Go ahead and read it, though, and return to Emit to unlock additional quests in the Bast from the Past event.
