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 explains 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 thoroughly scan the area. Once you spot a suitable mound, interact with it to dig. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth both Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest stage: constructing the Time Travel Component.
If you're having difficulty finding dig spots, speeding up in-game time can encourage the generation of more rocks and dirt mounds. However, avoid spending extended periods in fast-forward to prevent missing opportunities to dig.
