The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on a thrilling quest to unlock the latest rewards. Fortunately, finding the resources needed, Plathinum and Ironyum, is straightforward. Here’s how you can locate these essential items during the event.

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

As you progress through the “Echoes of Time” quests in Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you'll encounter the “Inventing the Past” set. This set requires you to gather Plathinum and Ironyum for Emit. The good news is that finding these resources is as easy as finding the Special Time Capsule.

To locate Plathinum and Ironyum, head to areas where rocks and dirt mounds are common, such as parks. Pause the game to scan the area effectively. When you spot the right spot, approach it and start digging. It might take a few attempts, but soon enough, you'll 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 faster. Just be cautious not to stay in fast-forward too long, or you might miss your chance to dig up the resources.
