The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on another exciting quest to unlock a new set of rewards. If you're looking to get your hands on Plathinum and Ironyum, the latest resources needed for the event, you're in luck because they're easy to find. Here's your guide to locating Plathinum and Ironyum in *The Sims 4*.
As you dive into the "Echoes of Time" part of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you'll encounter the "Inventing the Past" set. This set involves hunting down items for Emit, and this time, it's all about Plathinum and Ironyum. The good news is, the process is straightforward and similar to finding the Special Time Capsule.
To find Plathinum and Ironyum, head to an area with rocks and dirt mounds, such as a park. Pause the game to scan the area carefully. When you spot what you're looking for, walk over and start digging. It might take a few attempts, but you'll soon dig up 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 help them form quicker. Just be mindful not to stay in this state too long, or you might miss your chance to dig up the resources.
