"Discover Plathinum & Ironyum Locations in The Sims 4 Event"

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 method to locate the resources the game is hiding away. 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 diving into the "Echoes of Time" portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, there's another set called "Inventing the Past." Similar to its predecessors, this set requires you to hunt down items for Emit. This time, you're on the hunt for two resources: Plathinum and Ironyum. The good news is, unlike some other hunts, this one won't drag on because you already know what to do.

Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is straightforward because it's the same process used to find 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, walk over and start digging. It might take a few tries, but you'll eventually 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 make them appear quicker. However, don't linger too long in that state, or you might miss your chance to dig and collect the resources.
