Locate Plathinum and Ironyum in Sims 4 Blast From the Past

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* takes players on another scavenger hunt for exclusive rewards. Here's how to easily locate the hidden resources Plathinum and Ironyum during this limited-time event.

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

After completing the "Echoes of Time" objectives in Week 2, players unlock the "Inventing the Past" questline where Emit Relevart requests two special resources. Unlike previous confusing hunts, locating Plathinum and Ironyum follows a straightforward process identical to finding the Special Time Capsule.

Search areas with visible rocks and dirt mounds like neighborhood parks. Pausing the game helps scan the environment efficiently. When you spot the dig site, interact to excavate - it might take multiple attempts before uncovering the required materials. These resources are needed to craft the Time Travel Component for the next quest phase.

Pro Tip: If spawns seem slow, temporarily speed up in-game time to refresh dig sites faster. Just remember to check back regularly so you don't miss the excavation window.
