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.

To find these resources, simply locate areas with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully scan the area. Once you spot a suitable mound, dig it up. It may take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth both Plathinum and Ironyum, progressing you to the next quest: building the Time Travel Component.

If rocks and mounds are scarce, speeding up in-game time can help them regenerate faster. However, avoid prolonged periods of sped-up time to prevent missing your digging opportunity.
