How to Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event
For those grinding through the "Echoes of Time" portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, the next set called "Inventing the Past" awaits. This segment requires you to gather two specific resources, Plathinum and Ironyum, for Emit. Fortunately, the process is simple and mirrors that of finding the Special Time Capsule.
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. When you spot what you're looking for, approach and dig. It might take a few attempts, but you'll soon uncover Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest to build the Time Travel Component.
If you struggle to find rocks or dirt mounds, you can speed up time to make them appear faster. Just be mindful not to stay in this mode too long, or you might miss your chance to dig up the resources.
