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, this is a straightforward process.

This guide details how to quickly find these resources:

To obtain Plathinum and Ironyum, simply locate areas with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully scan the environment. 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 stage: building the Time Travel Component.

If you're struggling to find dig spots, speeding up in-game time can encourage the generation of new rocks and dirt mounds. However, avoid prolonged periods of sped-up time to prevent missing your opportunity to dig.
