The second week of the Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is now live, offering players a deeper dive into the mystery of the enigmatic visitor.

Here's a detailed guide on how to find Shards of Time in *The Sims 4*.
How To Find Shards of Time in the Blast From the Past Event in The Sims 4
As you delve deeper into the visitor's story and inquire about the "Shards of Time," *The Sims 4* prompts you to embark on a treasure hunt. The game provides minimal guidance, only hinting that these shards can be discovered within everyday household items such as couches and refrigerators.
Given the lack of specific instructions, the best strategy is to explore residential areas where these items are plentiful. Whether it's your neighbor's home or your own, begin searching every possible object until you uncover three Shards of Time. It's worth noting that not every search will yield results, but you can recheck the same items multiple times. Persistence is key, so don't give up after an initial unsuccessful search.
After a few minutes of diligent searching, you should have collected all the necessary shards. Once you have them, return to Emit, who should be waiting in the park near the Special Time Capsule. Present the Shards of Time to him, and he will guide you through the next steps in the event.
