The second week of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is now live, offering players a deeper dive into the mysterious visitor's story. As you progress, you'll encounter a unique challenge: finding Shards of Time, which are crucial for unlocking new rewards. Here's how to locate these elusive items in *The Sims 4*.
As you delve deeper into the visitor's backstory and inquire about "Shards of Time," *The Sims 4* tasks you with collecting them. The game hints that these shards can be discovered within everyday household items such as couches and refrigerators, but it doesn't provide much more guidance.
To maximize your chances of finding these shards, head to a residential area where such items are plentiful. Whether it's your own home or a neighbor's, thoroughly search every possible object. You'll need to find three Shards of Time, but remember, not every search will yield results. Don't give up if you don't find anything on your first try; you can search the same items multiple times.
After a bit of persistence, you should successfully gather all three shards. Once you have them, return to Emit, who is usually found in the park near the Special Time Capsule. Present the Shards of Time to him, and he'll guide you on the next steps in the event.
