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 finding Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, this is a straightforward process.

To locate these resources, simply follow the same method used to find the Special Time Capsule. Seek out areas with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal locations. Pause the game to carefully scan your surroundings. Once you spot a promising spot, dig! It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth the Plathinum and Ironyum needed to progress.

If you're having trouble finding suitable digging spots, speeding up in-game time can help generate more rocks and dirt mounds. However, avoid spending too much time in fast-forward mode, as you risk missing your opportunity to dig.
