Don't have option to show Emit the time shards

I've obtained all the time shards using a single sim, but for whatever reason, when I go to show Emit the time shards, the option never shows up. I've checked my sim's inventory, tried turning off mods, and still the option does not show up. It's literally locking me out of completing more of this event.

 

Edit: It was mods needing to be removed, and not simply deactivated but completely removed. Sorry to waste anyone's time with my dumb question but I'll leave this here in case it helps someone else. 

  • I forgot I even posted this question but my issue was my mods apparently lmao. Which is wild because I never had problems with other events so I didn't even think about that.

    Why would you want to show Emit the shards? Look at the task list to see what your next task is. You can hover over a task to get some help.

    The next task is literally "show emit the shards of time" 

    Why would you bother responding when you have no idea what you're talking about?

    At first when I opened my email I thought this was directed at me because I didn't see the previous response till now lmao. But the issue was that I needed to remove my mods. Simply deactivating them didn't even fix it lol.

    Sorry I just thought they were unnecessarily rude and made no sense lol. I came here because I'm having the same issue. I'll try removing mods. It just sucks because I'll have to remove them and then save, so my entire Gane will be messed up 🥲

    soj4420You could possibly try removing mods, doing a “save as” to create an unmodded copy of your save without overwriting the original, then show Emit the shards. Then save and exit again and see if turning mods back on and returning to your modded save allows you to continue past that point since I think the event progress is tied to the account as a whole not just the save.

    If it doesn’t work, you might still have to finish the event in your unmodded copy, but at least you’ll still have the original to play other storylines in.
