Go into the library, click on a bookcase, and select the option, \u201cRead Theoretical Electronics.\u201d Wait a moment, and that task will be complete.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/inventing-the-past-quest-steps-and-walkthrough-in-the-sims-4-2.jpg\" alt=\"An image showing a library in The Sims 4.

The rest of the guide goes into detail on how to complete all the other tasks. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-level-up-handiness-in-the-sims-4\">How to level up Handiness in The Sims 4 <\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">To start on the Repair \u201cSomething while Handiness Level 2 or Higher\u201d task, you need to level up your Sims\u2019 Handiness to level two or higher. If you\u2019re playing from an existing save file, it\u2019s likely your Sim has already reached a high enough level. If not, here is how to level up <strong>Handiness<\/strong> in <em>The Sims 4.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/inventing-the-past-quest-steps-and-walkthrough-in-the-sims-4-3.jpg\" alt=\"An image showing a wood workings table in The Sims 4. \" title=\"An image showing a wood workings table in The Sims 4. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Maxis Studios\/EA via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">An easy way to level up your Sim\u2019s Handiness level is by putting a <strong>Woodworking Table<\/strong> in its home. It\u2019s a piece of furniture in the \u201cActivities and Skills\u201d section of the objects menu and it costs 750 simoleons. Once you have one and placed in your home, it\u2019s time to use it. Click it and select \u201cHorse Sculpture\u201d or \u201cKnife Sculpture.\u201d Continue to create sculptures until you level up. We only had to make three to raise our Handiness from level one to two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Now we need to repair an object. To do this, you can continue to live your day-to-day life until any object breaks. To speed this process up, Polygon bought the cheapest sink and used it a ton by cleaning dishes and having our Sim use it to wash its hands. When an object breaks, click it, select the \u201cRepair\u201d option.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-level-up-logic-in-the-sims-4\">How to level up Logic in The Sims 4<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Now the game asks you to \u201cExercise Your Mind while Level 2 or Higher in Logic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/inventing-the-past-quest-steps-and-walkthrough-in-the-sims-4-4.jpg\" alt=\"An image showing a Sim playing chess in The Sims 4. \" title=\"An image showing a Sim playing chess in The Sims 4. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Maxis Studios\/EA via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The easiest way to<strong> level up your Logic<\/strong> in <em>The Sims 4<\/em> is to play chess. If you don\u2019t have a chess board, you can buy a basic one for 450 simoleons or you can use the public ones for free in Magnolia Blossom Park. Go to a board and continue to play until your Sim\u2019s Logic level increases from one to two. Once your Sims has Logic level of two, play any chess game <em>again<\/em>, and it will satisfy the quest request for, \u201cExercise Your Mind while Level 2 or Higher in Logic.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-plathinum-and-ironyum-in-the-sims-4\">How to get plathinum and ironyum in The Sims 4<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Now you need to find two kinds of ores: <strong>plathinum<\/strong> and <strong>ironyum<\/strong>. They\u2019re different items, but you use the same process to find each one. Here\u2019s how to find them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Hit M to pull up the map and travel to an outdoor area like Magnolia Blossom Park. Now look around outside until you find the spots to mine for the ore. Pause Live Mode if you want, and scan the surrounding area for protruding rocks that mark where you can mine for plathinum and ironyum. They look like the image below. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/inventing-the-past-quest-steps-and-walkthrough-in-the-sims-4-5.jpg\" alt=\"An image showing a rock where you can mine ore in The Sims 4. \" title=\"An image showing a rock where you can mine ore in The Sims 4. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Maxis Studios\/EA via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Click on each rock and select the \u201cDig\u201d option. Continue to dig in these marked spots until you unearth plathinum and ironyum. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">After completing that long to-do list, the game now instructs you to \u201cBuild the Time Travel Component.\u201d To do that, pull up your inventory by pressing I and scroll down to \u201cShard of Time\u201d icon that looks like a purple crystal. Click it and select, \u201cBuild Time Travel Component.\u201d Do that and the quest is done!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For more \u201cBlast from the Past\u201d quests, see our walkthroughs for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/521395\">Echoes of Time<\/a>,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/the-sims-4-guides\/519734\/a-strange-visitor-quest-steps-walkthrough\">A Strange Visitor<\/a>,\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/the-sims-4-guides\/519758\/missing-clues-quest-steps\">Missing Clues<\/a>,\u201d or our full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/the-sims-4-guides\/519267\/blast-from-past-event-rewards-list-all\">\u201cBlast from the Past\u201d rewards<\/a> list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/the-sims-4-guides\/522029\/inventing-the-past-walkthrough-quest-steps\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cInventing the Past\u201d quest is part of a series of timed-limited quests in the \u201cBlast from the Past\u201d event in&nbsp;The Sims 4.
