Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" quest in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires locating Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, this is a straightforward process.
This guide details how to find these resources quickly and efficiently.
Locating Plathinum and Ironyum:
The method for finding Plathinum and Ironyum mirrors the process for locating the Special Time Capsule. Simply locate an area with numerous rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully scan your surroundings. Once you spot a promising spot, 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 rocks and mounds are scarce, speeding up in-game time can accelerate their generation. However, avoid prolonged periods of accelerated time to prevent missing your digging opportunity.
Blast from the Past Event Rewards:
The Blast from the Past event offers a diverse range of rewards across four weeks. Here's a summary:
