The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on another exciting quest to unlock the latest set of rewards. Fortunately, 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 are diligently working through the “Echoes of Time” portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, there’s another set called “Inventing the Past.” This set is similar to its predecessors, requiring you to hunt down items for Emit. This time, you’re on the hunt for two resources: Plathinum and Ironyum. The good news is that this search won’t drag on because the process is familiar.

Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is straightforward as it follows the same method used to find 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, approach and dig. It might take a few attempts, but you’ll eventually uncover Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest to build the Time Travel Component.

If you struggle to find rocks or dirt mounds, you can speed up time to make them appear more quickly. However, don’t linger too long in this state, or you might miss your chance to dig up the resources.
