The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* has players on a thrilling quest to unlock a new set of rewards. Here's a straightforward guide on how to find Plathinum and Ironyum in *The Sims 4* during this exciting event.
How To Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event
If you've managed to navigate through the "Echoes of Time" section of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you'll encounter the "Inventing the Past" set. This set requires you to hunt for two specific resources: Plathinum and Ironyum. The good news is that the search for these items is straightforward and similar to finding the Special Time Capsule.
To find Plathinum and Ironyum, head to areas where rocks and dirt mounds are common, such as parks. Pause the game to scan the area thoroughly. Once you spot the right spot, approach it and start digging. It might take a few attempts, but you'll soon uncover Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest to build the Time Travel Component.
If you're struggling to find suitable spots, you can speed up time to encourage more rocks and dirt mounds to form. Just be mindful not to spend too long in this state, or you might miss your opportunity to dig up the resources.
