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

The *Blast from the Past* event in *The Sims 4* is back with another round of nostalgic quests, sending players on a hunt for rare resources to unlock exclusive rewards. This time around, you’ll need to track down two special materials: Plathinum and Ironyum. While it may sound tricky at first, the process is straightforward once you know where to look and what to do. Here’s everything you need to locate both Plathinum and Ironyum with ease during Week 2 of the *Blast from the Past* event.

How To Find Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4

If you’ve already progressed through the “Echoes of Time” portion of the Blast from the Past Week 2 quests, you’re ready to tackle the next challenge: “Inventing the Past.” Similar to previous tasks, this objective requires you to gather specific items for Emit—Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, unlike some other resource hunts, these two can be found using a familiar method.

To begin your search, head to an area with visible rocks or dirt mounds. Parks are ideal locations for this, as they often feature natural terrain elements that hide collectible resources. Once you’re in the right environment, pause the game to make it easier to scan the surroundings. As soon as you spot a mound or rock formation, approach it and initiate the digging action. It might take a few attempts, but eventually, you’ll unearth either Plathinum or Ironyum. Collect both to complete the quest and proceed to building the Time Travel Component.

If you're struggling to find suitable spots, consider accelerating time to encourage the appearance of new dirt mounds or rock clusters. However, avoid staying in fast-forward mode for too long, as you could easily miss the formations and have to wait even longer for new ones to spawn.
