How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
As you embark on the Blast from the Past event, your first steps involve uncovering details about a mysterious visitor named Emit.

Explore the area until you spot a rock that seems to contain diamonds. Approach and interact with it to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Be prepared to inspect multiple rocks, as the capsule might not be in the first one you find.
