The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on another thrilling quest to unlock the latest set of rewards. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward way to locate the hidden resources, Plathinum and Ironyum. Here’s a detailed guide on where to find these valuable items in *The Sims 4*.

How To Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

As you dive into the "Echoes of Time" portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you'll encounter the "Inventing the Past" set, which requires you to hunt down specific items for Emit. This time, your targets are Plathinum and Ironyum, and the good news is that finding them is relatively straightforward.

Locating Plathinum and Ironyum follows the same process used to find the Special Time Capsule. Head to an area where rocks and dirt mounds are common, such as a park. Pause the game to scan the area thoroughly. When you spot a suitable mound, approach it and start digging. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth 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 appear more quickly. However, be cautious not to spend too long in this state, as you might miss your chance to dig and collect the resources.
