Introducing Platinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4's New Event

Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" quest in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires locating Plathinum and Ironyum. This guide provides a straightforward method to acquire these resources.

Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is identical to locating the Special Time Capsule. Simply find an area with rocks and dirt mounds (parks are ideal). Pause the game to carefully scan the area. Once located, dig at the mound. Multiple attempts may be necessary.

If rocks and dirt mounds are scarce, speeding up in-game time can expedite their generation. However, avoid prolonged periods of sped-up time to prevent missing digging opportunities.

Blast from the Past Event Rewards Overview:

The Blast from the Past event offers a variety of rewards spread across four weeks. Here's a summary:

• Week 1: Retro Deco Phone Set, Relevart Time Walkers, The Yesterday Set floor tiles, The Future’s So Bright “Sun” Glasses, The Fun-Fun Inflatable Set, Part One
