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 explains how to efficiently locate Plathinum and Ironyum in The Sims 4.

Locating Plathinum and Ironyum:

The method for obtaining Plathinum and Ironyum mirrors the process of finding the Special Time Capsule. Simply locate an area with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully examine 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, unlocking the next quest stage: building the Time Travel Component.

If rocks and 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 compelling array of rewards spread across four weeks. Here's a summary:

• 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
