How To Find the Special Time Capsule in The Sims 4 Blast from the Past Event
As soon as you dive into the Blast from the Past event, the game propels you into a quest to gather intel on the mysterious visitor, Emit. You'll need to tune into TV shows, scour social media profiles, and chat with fellow Sims.

Wander the area until you spot a rock that seems to have diamonds embedded within it. Approach and interact with this object to dig for the Special Time Capsule. Keep in mind, you might need to examine several rocks to successfully complete the mission, but there should be plenty available.
