Where To Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" quest in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires locating Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, acquiring these resources is straightforward.

This guide details how to find Plathinum and Ironyum in The Sims 4:

The process mirrors finding the Special Time Capsule. Locate an area with rocks and dirt mounds (parks are ideal). Pause the game to thoroughly scan the area. Once you spot a diggable spot, interact with it. It may take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest stage: building the Time Travel Component.

If rocks and mounds are scarce, speeding up in-game time encourages their faster generation. However, avoid prolonged periods of accelerated time to prevent missing digging opportunities.
