Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" questline in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires locating Plathinum and Ironyum. Fortunately, this is a straightforward process.
This guide shows you how to efficiently find these resources:
To obtain Plathinum and Ironyum, simply locate areas with rocks and dirt mounds – parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully scan your surroundings. Once you spot a suitable mound, interact with it to dig. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth the necessary resources.
If you're having trouble finding dig sites, speeding up in-game time can help generate more rocks and dirt mounds. However, avoid prolonged periods of sped-up time, as you risk missing your opportunity to dig.
