The second week of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is now in full swing, giving players the chance to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the enigmatic visitor. However, one hurdle many players face is locating the elusive Shards of Time, which are crucial for progressing and unlocking new rewards. Here's a detailed guide on where to find these Shards of Time in *The Sims 4*.
How to Find Shards of Time in the Blast from the Past Event in The Sims 4
As you delve further into the visitor's backstory and inquire about the "Shards of Time," *The Sims 4* sets you on a quest to find these mysterious objects. The game hints that these shards can be discovered by rummaging through everyday household items such as couches and refrigerators, but offers little more in terms of guidance.
Given the lack of specific directions, your best bet is to head to a residential area where such items are plentiful. Whether it's your own home or a neighbor's, start searching through every possible item until you uncover three Shards of Time. Keep in mind that not every search will yield results, but you can search the same items multiple times, so persistence is key. After a bit of searching, you should have all the shards you need.
Once you've collected the Shards of Time, return to Emit, who should be lingering in the park near the Special Time Capsule. Hand over the shards to Emit, and he'll guide you on the next steps in the event.
