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

Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" questline 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 numerous rocks and dirt mounds—parks are ideal. Pause the game to thoroughly examine the area. Once you spot a suitable mound, interact with it to dig. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth both Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest step: constructing the Time Travel Component.

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