The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is sending players on another thrilling adventure to unlock the latest set of rewards. Thankfully, finding the resources the game has hidden is straightforward. Here's a detailed guide on 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 diving into the "Echoes of Time" portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you'll encounter another set called "Inventing the Past." This set requires you to hunt down items for Emit, specifically Plathinum and Ironyum. The good news is, the process to locate these resources is quite similar to finding the Special Time Capsule, so you already know what to do.
To find Plathinum and Ironyum, head to areas where rocks and dirt mounds are common, such as parks. Pause the game to scan the area effectively. Once you spot the right spot, walk over and start digging. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually uncover Plathinum and Ironyum. This will unlock the next quest, which involves building 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, be cautious not to spend too long in this state, or you might miss your chance to dig up these crucial resources.
