The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is an exciting journey, sending players on a quest to unlock a new set of rewards. If you're looking to find Plathinum and Ironyum during this event, you're in luck because it's easier than you might think. Here's a detailed guide on where to locate these resources in *The Sims 4*.
How To Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event
If you've been grinding through the "Echoes of Time" portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you're now ready to tackle the "Inventing the Past" set. This set requires you to hunt down Plathinum and Ironyum for Emit, but don't worry—this hunt is straightforward and manageable.
Finding Plathinum and Ironyum follows the same process as finding the Special Time Capsule. Head to areas where rocks and dirt mounds are commonly found, such as parks. Pause the game to scan the area thoroughly. Once you spot the right spot, walk over and start digging. It might take a few attempts, but you'll soon unearth Plathinum and Ironyum. This will unlock the next quest, where you'll need 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 faster. Just be cautious not to spend too long in this state, or you might miss your chance to dig up the resources.
