How To Find Shards of Time in Blast From the Past Event in The Sims 4
As part of the event storyline, your Sim will begin investigating the mysterious visitor and learn about artifacts known as “Shards of Time.” Eventually, the game prompts you to locate some of these elusive items. Unfortunately, the guidance provided by the game is minimal—Sims are simply told that they may uncover Shards by searching everyday objects like couches and refrigerators.
With very little direction given, the best approach is to visit a residential lot, whether it's your own home or a neighbor’s. Begin interacting with common household items and performing search actions. Be aware that not every search will yield a Shard, but persistence pays off—you can continue checking the same object multiple times until you succeed.
After a few minutes of exploration, you should collect all the Shards of Time needed. Once gathered, return to Emit, who remains near the park close to the Special Time Capsule location. He will examine the Shards and guide you through the next phase of the event.
