If you're diving into the Blast from the Past event in The Sims 4, you're in for quite the adventure. The event has players scrambling to uncover hidden treasures, and this time, it’s all about tracking down Plathinum and Ironyum. But fear not—the process is straightforward once you know what to look for. Here’s how to locate these elusive resources.
To find Plathinum and Ironyum, head to areas with rocks and dirt mounds, like parks or similar locations. Pause the game to thoroughly scan the area, then start digging. While it might take a few attempts, you'll eventually strike gold—or rather, these essential resources. Once collected, you'll progress to the next step, building the Time Travel Component.
If you're struggling to spot rocks or dirt mounds, speeding up time can help them appear faster. Just remember not to linger too long in this mode, as opportunities to dig may pass you by.
