"Find Platinum & Ironyum in Sims 4 Past Event"

The Blast from the Past event in The Sims 4 has players embarking on a treasure hunt to collect rare materials. Don't worry—tracking down these hidden resources is easier than you think. This guide reveals exactly where to locate Plathinum and Ironyum during the event.

Where to Locate Plathinum & Ironyum in The Sims 4 Event

After completing the "Echoes of Time" quests in Week 2, players encounter the "Inventing the Past" challenges. This stage requires collecting Plathinum and Ironyum for Emit. Unlike previous scavenger hunts, this one's straightforward—you'll recognize the process immediately.

The search method mirrors finding Special Time Capsules. Visit locations with rock formations and dirt mounds, like parks. Pause gameplay to scout the area visually. When you spot a promising spot, start digging. After a few attempts, you'll unearth both materials and trigger the Time Travel Component quest.

Can't find suitable digging spots? Speed up in-game time to make terrain features appear faster. Just remember not to accelerate time too much—you might miss your window to collect the resources.
