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.

This guide shows you 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 promising spot, dig! It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth both Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest step: building the Time Travel Component.

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

Blast from the Past Event Rewards:

The Blast from the Past event offers a generous array of rewards across four weeks:

• Week 1: Retro Deco Phone Set, Relevart Time Walkers, The Yesterday Set floor tiles, The Future’s So Bright “Sun” Glasses, The Fun-Fun Inflatable Set, Part One
