The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on another exciting quest to unlock the latest set of rewards. Thankfully, there's a straightforward way to locate the hidden resources in the game. Here’s how 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 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 requires you to hunt down items for Emit, specifically two resources: Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, this search is more straightforward than previous ones, as you already know the process.
Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is simple, mirroring the process of locating the Special Time Capsule. Head to an area with rocks and dirt mounds, such as a park, and pause the game to scan the area. Once you spot what you're looking for, approach and start digging. It may take a few attempts, but you'll eventually uncover 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 make them form quicker. Just be mindful not to spend too long in this state, as you might miss your chance to dig and collect the resources.
