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

Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" quest in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires locating Plathinum and Ironyum. This guide simplifies the process.

Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is straightforward: it's the same method used to find the Special Time Capsule.

Locate an area with rocks and dirt mounds (parks are ideal). Pause the game to carefully scan the area. Once you spot a diggable spot, interact with it. Multiple attempts might be necessary.

Struggling to find dig sites? Speed up in-game time to accelerate mound generation, but avoid prolonged use to prevent missing opportunities.
