Unlocking the "Inventing the Past" quest in The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event requires finding Plathinum and Ironyum. This guide simplifies the process.
Locating Plathinum and Ironyum:
The method for acquiring Plathinum and Ironyum mirrors the Special Time Capsule search. Locate an area with rocks and dirt mounds (parks are ideal). Pause the game to carefully examine the environment. Identify and interact with the appropriate mounds to dig. Multiple attempts might be necessary.
Speeding up in-game time can accelerate the generation of dig sites, but avoid prolonged use to prevent missing opportunities.
Blast from the Past Event Rewards:
The Blast from the Past event offers a substantial reward pool across four weeks. Here's a summary of the available items:
Week 1: Retro Deco Phone Set, Relevart Time Walkers, The Yesterday Set floor tiles, The Future’s So Bright “Sun” Glasses, The Fun-Fun Inflatable Set, Part One
