Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" quest in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires locating Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, finding these resources is straightforward.
This guide explains how to quickly acquire Plathinum and Ironyum in The Sims 4.
Locating Plathinum and Ironyum:
The method for finding Plathinum and Ironyum is identical to locating the Special Time Capsule. Simply locate an area with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully scan the area. Once you spot a suitable mound, approach and dig. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth both Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest stage: building the Time Travel Component.
If dirt mounds are scarce, speeding up in-game time can hasten their appearance. However, avoid prolonged fast-forwarding to prevent missing digging opportunities.
Blast from the Past Event Rewards:
The Blast from the Past event offers a range of rewards 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
