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, this is a straightforward process.

This guide explains how to find these resources quickly and efficiently.

To obtain Plathinum and Ironyum, simply locate areas with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to thoroughly examine the area. Once you spot a diggable spot, interact with it. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth the necessary resources.

If you're having difficulty finding dig sites, speeding up in-game time can help generate more rocks and mounds. However, avoid leaving the game sped up for too long, as you risk missing your opportunity to dig.
