A thrilling limited-time event in *The Sims 4* has players racing against the clock to uncover hidden treasures, but one particular task is causing some head-scratching. Here’s how to locate the elusive Special Time Capsule in the *The Sims 4* Blast from the Past event before the deadline hits.
How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
Jumping into the Blast from the Past event, you'll be sent on a mission to gather intel about the enigmatic Emit. You’ll need to tune into TV shows, scour social media profiles, and chat with fellow Sims. But while these tasks are straightforward, the challenge ramps up when it's time to hunt down the Special Time Capsule in *The Sims 4*.
You'll be given a vague hint to search for rocks in park areas. If you've already met Emit at Willow Creek park, that's your prime starting spot. Scan the area until you spot a rock that looks like it's embedded with diamonds. Approach it and interact to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Remember, you might need to check several rocks before striking gold, but there are plenty to explore.

Once you've successfully unearthed the Special Time Capsule, open it to discover an IOU note inside—a somewhat underwhelming reward for your hard work. Still, read the note and head back to Emit to unlock further quests in the Blast from the Past event.
