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 shows you how to quickly 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 the environment. Once you spot a promising spot, dig! It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth the necessary resources.
If you're having trouble finding 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.
