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 outlines how to quickly find these resources:
To obtain Plathinum and Ironyum, simply locate areas with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal locations. Pause the game to carefully scan the area. Once you spot a suitable mound, dig it up. This might take a few attempts.
If you're struggling to find dig spots, speeding up in-game time can help generate more rocks and mounds. However, avoid spending too long in fast-forward mode, as you risk missing your opportunity to dig. The process is identical to finding the Special Time Capsule.
