The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on another thrilling quest to unlock the latest set of rewards. Thankfully, locating the resources the game is hiding away is straightforward. Here’s where to find Plathinum and Ironyum in *The Sims 4*.
How To Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event
For those who've been grinding through the “Echoes of Time” section of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you’ll encounter a second set called “Inventing the Past.” This segment is similar to previous ones, requiring you to hunt down items for Emit. This time, you’re searching for two resources: Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, this hunt is straightforward because you already know the drill.
Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is easy as it follows the same method used to locate the Special Time Capsule. Head to an area where rocks and dirt mounds are common, such as a park, and pause the game to scan the area. Once you spot what you're looking for, walk over and start digging. It might take a few tries, but you’ll eventually uncover Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest to build the Time Travel Component.
If you’re struggling to find rocks or dirt mounds, you can speed up time to make them appear more quickly. Just be mindful not to stay in this state too long, or you might miss your chance to dig up these valuable resources.
