Unlocking the Mysteries of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past: Locating Time Shards
The second week of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event is underway, presenting players with the intriguing task of uncovering the secrets surrounding a mysterious visitor. This guide focuses on efficiently locating the elusive Time Shards, crucial for progressing through the event and earning rewards.
Finding Time Shards in The Sims 4
After investigating the visitor and learning about "Shards of Time," the game challenges you to locate three of these artifacts. The game offers minimal guidance, hinting that they might be found within everyday household objects.
To maximize your chances, explore residential areas rich in potential hiding spots. Search couches, refrigerators, and other common household items in your Sim's home or your neighbors' properties. Remember, not every search will yield a shard, but you can repeatedly search the same object. Persistence is key!
Once you've collected three Time Shards, return to Emit (located near the Special Time Capsule in the park). He'll guide you to the next stage of the event.
