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, this is a straightforward process.

The method for obtaining Plathinum and Ironyum mirrors the Special Time Capsule acquisition. Simply locate an area with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to thoroughly scan the area. Once you spot a suitable mound, dig! It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth the necessary resources.

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