Do you like the hidden lots?

It's been a while since the last time we've got an hidden lot. If I'm not mistaken I think we have just 4 (two in base game, one in Outdoor Retreat and the alien planet in Get To Work) I'm excluding the active career lots and Mt. Komorebi mountain since they have a different purpose.
Do you like them or you think they're useless? I personally think they have little meaning and I wish it had more purpose rather than being just for rare collectibles. Outdoor retreat is the only one that is kinda different.
Would you like to see improvements or new secret lots in future worlds?

  • I sent my sim to Sylvan Glade recently it had been so rainy in my game that it was wonderful just to hang out and fish in the great weather and listen to the "fairy" sounds. I also enjoy the hermit's area in OR. I don't remember the last time I went to the Forgotten Grotto though.
    Mostly I'd love for Sixam to be updated and Forgotten Grotto, to be able to do more in both areas. Also would love it if they could add swimming to any area that looks like the water is deep enough including the hidden areas.
    I wouldn't mind more hidden areas in the future as long as they have a purpose.
  • Sylvan Glade needs to become a big Fairy World with Fairy sims.
    Sixam needs be be a better & bigger Alien Planet.
    Forgotten Grotto needs to become a big Prehistoric World with Cavepeople.
    The Hidden Mermaid World needs to become a livable playable World.
  • i'd love if some of them weren't hidden lots and were actually expanded and livable like Sixam or Sylvan Glade. i've never been on the Sulani hidden lot but i think it should've been an underwater place full of mermaids. all the hidden lots are very beautiful but they should offer something more, make it worth to find them, give them some more gameplay or at least make them bigger just so we can create a hidden city or something. i still think the cave on Forgotten Hollow could've had a hidden vampire realm or something, how cool would've that been? they're a cool detail and hopefully they keep making more (but better)

    given how Sylvan Glade is a base game hidden world, if we ever get fairies i'd love a crossover between them. turn the fx fairies into interactable ones and make their world bigger by unlocking it somewhere. and Sixam should get a rework too, for the only place that is an actual entire world it's not fair to make it so small lol

    hidden mermaid world?

    or if there was a hidden mermaid world?
  • The secret lots are some of my favorite places because they are so beautiful and unusual. I definitely enjoy them and would be happy to see more. The only improvement I want is to be able to set the lot type and build freely on them once I've unlocked them. You can use the cheat to build, but you can't change the lot type to make it actually function as any specific kind of lot.

    I feel like, once we've gone through the mini-game to find the place, we should be able to do what we want with it. So if I want for example to have a museum in the Hidden Grotto, a spa in Sylvan Glade, and an experimental cuisine restaurant on Sixam, I should be able to do that.

    You technically can, bb.enablefreebuild cheat is a thing, and it does allow you to build there. With mods you can even change the lot designation at will, although I don't think you can actually own it considering it's not visible in world view.

    I concur with the others though, I'd have definitely loved it if Sixam were an entire alien world where you can move in multiple alien households, or that we had a dedicated mermaid area.
  • Sadly, the Hidden Mermaid World works like the hidden cave in Snowy Escape. :'(
  • They were a really cool concept for me and fun to visit. It was nice to have lots without visitors and it was some of the first fantastical content we had.

    They do need more, though. I do not think we necessarily need to be able to live there (though it would be nice), but some sort of something beyond random collection visits. Sylvain Glade would be perfect for fairies or unicorns or anything super fantasy themed. Even just a tie in would be nice. Perhaps they could have special lot traits now, even if we cannot access them.
  • I think it's a shame they stopped adding them. It was nice to try and work towards unlocking them.

    Hidden lots would've been perfect with Island Living and Snowy Escape and would add some much needed depth - for example there could've been a mermaid cavern similar to Forgotten Grotto where you'll find all the mermaid sims. Or for Snowy Escape they could've took the cave in the mountain and made it a hidden lot yeti cave with a yeti residing in it. Just little details like that are fun to find.
