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, finding these resources is straightforward.

This guide details how to quickly obtain Plathinum and Ironyum in The Sims 4.

Locating Plathinum and Ironyum:

The method for finding Plathinum and Ironyum is identical to locating the Special Time Capsule. Simply locate an area 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 the necessary Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest step: constructing the Time Travel Component.

Tips for Faster Resource Acquisition:

If you're struggling to find suitable digging spots, consider speeding up in-game time to accelerate the generation of rocks and dirt mounds. However, avoid prolonged periods of accelerated time, as you risk missing your opportunity to dig.
