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 examine the environment. Once you spot a suitable mound, dig it up. It may take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth the necessary resources.
If you're having difficulty finding dig spots, speeding up in-game time can help generate more rocks and mounds. However, avoid leaving the game sped up for too long, as you might miss your opportunity to dig.
