The Sims 4 Blast From The Past Week 3 Event Guide
The Setback Quest
Each part of the plan is falling into place. Although something still feels off, confidence is in the air.
Activate the Time Travel Component (+25 Event Points) – The time travel component has been successfully completed. Now it’s time to find a computer, and turn it into a time machine! Select Activate Time Travel Component on a Computer.
Completing the initial quest step will trigger a set of three new Event Quest steps. Requiring you to take some time off by grabbing to eat, burning off steam and finally repairing the computer. Not necessarily in that order!
Repair or Replace the Computer (+25 Event Points) – What a setback! Going to have to fix up the computer if there is any chance of moving forward. Select Repair or Replace on a broken computer. Or from the Phone, select Home and then Hire a Service to hire a repair service.
Burn Off Steam by Exercising for an Hour (+25 Event Points) – After having nearly destroyed everything, maybe it’s time to burn off some steam. Find an exercise to do, such as Workout on a treadmill or Practice Punching on the punching bag, and exercise for at least an hour. Or visit a Gym Venue and use the equipment there.
Editor’s Note: For some reason I couldn’t get my home workout equipment such as the Treadmill and Punching Bag to trigger finishing this quest step. Instead, I had to perform an exercise at the Gym Venue.
Get Something to Eat (+25 Event Points) – No plan can be executed well on an empty stomach. Find something to eat!
Ask Emit about the Malfunction (+25 Event Points) – Emit has built time machines before, and he might know where things went wrong. Select Ask about Malfunction on Emit.
Emit can be found at Magnolia Blossom Park, or select the Social category on the Phone to Invite Emit Over.
Overclock a Computer (+25 Event Points) – Emit said it wasn’t too much power that fried the power, but rather not enough power! Find a Computer, and select Overclock.
On The Hunt Quest
Determined as ever, it’s time for the final plan to be put into action. All systems are in place. The time travel component based on Nikolai Volt’s theoretical electronics work is installed and activated, and the computer is sufficiently overclocked.
It’s time to catch a thief!
Give Yourself a Pep Talk (+25 Event Points) – With everything in place, it might be the right time to pep oneself up before taking a time travelling experience.
Find a mirror, and select Give Yourself a Pep Talk.
Look for the Thief by Playing in the Archives (+35 Event Points) – Time travel is on the table! Play in the echoes of the past of the archives once more to find the thief in time!
Use a Computer, and select Play Game… and then Play The Sims Archives, vol. 4.
While playing through the archives, your Sim had that same uneasy feeling as when simulating the various events and was able to catch the thief in the act! In doing so, your Sim was able to discover the thief’s email address!

Reward Overviews
Two New Milk Cartons (With A Possible Hint)
There are two new Milk Cartons included in Week 3 of the latest event: Some Sneaky Sim, Not a Raccoon and Emit Relevart, Bow-Tied and Blue-Haired.
What’s interesting about the naming of the first Milk Carton is that it aligns with the recent rumors we’ve had. Both about the Burglars and the Shady Raccoon NPC we’ve been reporting on.
Are Burglars coming soon to The Sims 4? It seems EA doesn’t want us to mistake the Shady Raccoon for a Sneaky Sim. But we could also be very delusional!
The Fun-Fun Inflatable Set, Part Two Couch
The couch comes in 12 matching variants including:
Dina Caliente’s LBD Full Body Outfit
Sticky Fingers Aspiration
The new Sims 4 Aspiration can be found in the Deviance Main Aspiration category. And to complete it, you’ll only need to complete one task: and that’s to steal items worth 250,000 Simoleons in total!
Completing the Aspiration task will grant you the Enhanced Kleptomaniac Reward Trait. Giving you higher chances of not getting caught when stealing objects!
New Retro Station Songs
Week 3 of The Sims 4 Blast From The Past Event introduces two exclusive Simlish tracks to the Retro Radio Station. Including a brand new Simlish Song from American actress and singer Keke Palmer! This is the first time that EA released new soundtrack through a limited time event, and it’s probably not their last one.
New Songs include:
- The Game Song – Keke Palmer (from The Sims 2 H&M Stuff Pack)
- Podie Tie – Eric Pressley (from The Sims 3 Console)
The fourth and final week of The Sims 4 Blast From The Past Event is set to begin on February 25th at 9AM PT / 6PM CET / 5PM BT. To make things easier we’ve included a countdown timer until the final week unlocks!

Can’t wait to download these objects off the gallery once they finally fix the Residential Rental corruption bug and I can PLAY MY GAME
I jogged at home and that got the workout quest to finish, just an fyi.
For a second I thought a simmer had actually done exercise
I have given the pep talk at least twenty times without the task showing as complete. I’ve cheated her mood to make her sad so I could repeatedly ‘give myself a pep talk’ with no results. Any hints as to how to go onto the next task?
After activating the Time Travel Component, my computer didn’t “break”. There is no option to repair or replace the PC, as it works fine. Help! I can’t complete the quest.
I had a similar issue. Fixing any computer will complete the quest, I had my sim use the cheapest computer until it broke and then fixed that one.
just opened the game and theres no option to activate time component on my computer
