A limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players on a scavenger hunt, searching for hidden items. One particularly tricky task involves locating the Special Time Capsule during the "Blast from the Past" event. Here's how to find it before time runs out.

The Blast from the Past event begins with a quest to uncover information about a mysterious visitor, Emit. You'll need to use various methods like watching TV, checking social media, and talking to other Sims. However, finding the Special Time Capsule presents a unique challenge.
The clues are vague—search for rocks near parks. A helpful starting point is Willow Creek park, where you'll have already interacted with Emit. Examine rocks in the area; look for those that appear to contain diamonds. Interact with the rock to begin digging for the capsule. You might need to check several rocks before you find the right one.
Opening the Special Time Capsule reveals an IOU note—a slightly underwhelming discovery after the search! Read the note and return to Emit to unlock further quests within the Blast from the Past event.
