"The Sims 4" featured several additional lots hidden from players that require special tasks to discover. Access points will lead to Sylvan Glades, Forgotten Grotto and a secret headquarters for secret agents.

Sylvan Glades On Willow Creek

According to SimsVIP, Sylvan Glades is a hidden lot located at Willow Creek, which can be accessed by visiting the Crick Cabana lot. A Sylvan Tree is planted behind the home on a public space accessible by Sims.

1. Go to the Crick Cabana lot.

2. Head to the back area of the lot and find the Sylvan Tree which looks different than normal trees.

3. Click View on the tree for several times.

4. Water the tree at least three times.

5. Discuss Nature with the tree.

6. Chat about the tree's roots.

Once the tree brings out the opening for a secret passage, the Sim can choose to explore it. Certain dialogues will be displayed including Follow the Sound, Follow Downstream and Enter the Mist to explore the Sylvan Tree. Several collectibles are available in the Sylvan Glades such as Treefish, Snapdragon and more.

Forgotten Grotto On Oasis Springs

Another hidden lot for Sims is the Forgotten Grotto found at the Oasis Springs. Players will need to command a Sim to visit the Dessert Bloom Park or the Affluista Mansion to find the abandoned Mine Cave.

However, SimsVIP noted that any Sim controlled by a player requires level 10 of Handiness skill in order to the break the barriers blocking the path, but the lot itself is a public space. After breaking the barriers, the Sim will get options to explore the abandoned Mine Cave. Here are the choices needed to be selected to unlock the hidden lot:

- Take the Wide Path

- Climb the Ladder

- Step Onto the Ledge

Several collectibles are also available in this hidden lot such as Batfish, mushrooms, sage and more. Keep in mind that breaking the barrier of one of the two caves will not break the other.

Secret Headquarters

Secret agents in movies have double life and it comes with a secret headquarters for missions. In "The Sims 4," a Sim can also become supervillains with access to a hidden room. Based on WhatCulture, the player must follow the conditions to access the lot:

1. Have the Sim follow the career path towards Heroic Secret Agent by getting the Agency Clerk job.

2. Get either the Double Diamond Agent or Double Agent.

3. Double Agent which is the career's level 8 status can lead to Supreme Villain that rewards the Commemorative Freeze Ray.
