The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event - Potentially Softlocked Myself

I've just completed the first two weeks worth of quests, and crafted the 'Time Travel Component', but before I could save, my game crashed, resulting in the quest still being completed, but the component now missing from my inventory...

Is there any way of getting this component back? I am unable to craft a new one as the shards to make the component were locked to the quest, and are no longer optainable.

Thank you for your help :^)

  • Fixed it! I used the 'bb.showhiddenobjects' command and typing "Time Travel Component" into the build mode search bar :^)

  • You could try clicking on the mailbox and see if there is an option to replace the shards. Then click on the shards and see if there is the option to build the time travel component. 
    I hope that this may help.

    There doesn't seem to be an option to replace the shards that I can see, thank you for the reply though!

    I've got the same problem on ps4/5, but I don't want to cheat in the item because it's my save I'm also using for the ps achievements trophys to.

    Edit: for now I've made 2 saves of my game...

    1. where I've cheated in the item, that I'm going to finish the event on, my other save to contue for getting the ps trophies.

    I was just going to post about the mailbox option. Had to use it myself for a different reason.
