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 intriguing task of uncovering the secrets of the mysterious visitor. This involves locating elusive Shards of Time to progress and earn rewards. This guide will show you exactly where to find them.
Following initial investigation and inquiries about "Shards of Time," The Sims 4 challenges you to locate these artifacts. The game offers limited guidance, hinting that they might be found hidden within everyday household objects like couches and refrigerators.
To maximize your chances, focus your search on residential areas rich in potential hiding spots. Whether it's your Sim's home or a neighbor's, systematically examine every item. Remember, not every search will yield a Shard, but you can repeatedly check the same object. Persistence is key!
After a short search, you should locate three Shards of Time. Return to Emit (still likely near the Special Time Capsule in the park) to present your findings and unlock the next stage of the event.
