There's nothing to do there.I appreciate why they had to make it a world with only 1 neighbourhood, but I can't help thinking if it had 2 neighbourhoods/10 lots total there would be room to place community lots and there would be more to do.I get very few sims appear there and they just walk through from one side to the other and disappear; no one even makes use of the chess tables.It seems like it would be a great place for vampires to live, but in practice it feels lonely being there.Does that make sense? I'm trying to come up with ways to give my sims more to do there but it's proving difficult.

I just kind of see FH as a breeding grounds for vampires. The entertainment it provides doesn't come directly from the world, but rather the fact that there are tons of vampires there to interact with. Plus it came out of a game pack and not an expansion so considering that, I think it's pretty good for what it is.what did you have in mind to make it more interesting? i can't really think of too many things vampires would enjoy going out of their homes to do (besides feeding or interacting with each other)

Did you put vampires on every lot? I would think the Sims that live there would be the ones you'd see most often using the stuff in the open neighborhood areas. I don't mind that FH is somewhat 'closed off' so to speak. I think it's supposed to be a place where few dare to tread. ;)

I just see it as a place for Vampires to gather but not to live except for the ancientsI dunno I'm just used to movies and shows where vampires have a secluded area but it's usually one building run by a leader.. basically each coven have a turf.. I used one of the lots as a cemetery for the funeral modI would like to have a club gathering of just vampires (I have other clubs but They aren't for coven purposes) but I don't think we can use generic lots yet but who knowsI might just use Vlads house

Things creep in the night. >:) It's even darker than WB, and it should be in my opinion. But you do have to live there to see the advantage of it being so dark (vampire attack) and to see any Sims using the chess table etc. ETA: The advantage of the darkness is it gets darker sooner and dawn is delayed. If your vamp has a job or traveling to the other worlds this helps get them out of the sun which doesn't go down in WB until 8 or 9 P.M. And heck it's daylight in WC until about 10:00 P.M.

Forgotten hollow is too small for my taste.4 lots are just MEH.

Forgotten Hollow is beautiful, but...

I was hoping it would come with a hidden world. Somewhere underground like catacombs or an underground cemetery. I have added the mine shaft to Vlad's lot so my vamps can explore the Grotto.

How did you do that? Sounds interesting.

Debug mode.

If you Are in build mode, enable the cheat "bb.showhiddenojects" your can acquire the entrance to the the Forgotten Grotto, Sylvan Glade. you can access those areas where ever you want. not sure where you will emerge from tho when you exit, your spawned entrance or the original default entrance

For Sylvan Glade, you need the magic tree. The mine shaft takes you to the grotto. Both can found (next to each other) in Debug mode.

I just got Sims 4 Vampires and I'm having trouble figuring out exploration in Forgotten Hollow. My camera won't pan far beyond my home lot or whatever lot I'm on. If I click on an area I can see, like the town square, my Sim disappears when they go there. The other neighborhoods I could freely explore the area and forage for collectables, but I can't figure out how to do that with Forgotten Hollow. I want to get some of the native plants for my garden but it's no good if my camera won't follow my Sim.

Nevermind... Seems it was just a glitch. I went into build mode in top-down view and all of a sudden my camera can pan the whole island. I guess it just got stuck on stupid for a bit.

I agree, I wish they had more lots. There was an open lot so I placed a bar from the gallery there for vampires to hang out, similar to what @calaprfy did. Since it is considered a bar, It attracts humans, which then becomes a great opportunity for vampires to suck their blood. In my town, that is their main source of entertainment. I expanded the bar and included an indoor pool, karaoke machine, games, indoor basketball hoop, etc for them in case they get stuck there during the day.

Five lots isn't much at all in the first place, and when there's only three of them that I feel free to edit (I don't wanna move out Vlad and the Vatores!!), that just makes it even smaller. I want to put community lots there. I want to put residential lots there. More than just 3. It's hard, hahah.

Then again, it is also just a gamepack, the neighborhood is about the right size for the content.
But still!!! Please, I need more lots there....

Lol, this is the vampire neighborhood, of course it's gotta be dark. What do you expect? Vampires chose this dark, secluded little place for a reason. They don't like that big burning sun out there.
There's no need to pretend the vampires pack wasn't made primarily with vampires in mind.

I wish that the world included vampire specific bars, nightclub or even a new lots that catered specifically to vampires and any mortal that dares enter.

I personally like it small, which is not to say that I would not welcome another neighborhood with open arms. But if it meant that the wonderfully detailed world was more like Newcrest then I'd pass. I will forever be ashamed about Magnolia Promenade being small, expansions are where no expenses should be spared for world creation, I feel more lenient towards game packs.

Forgotten Hallow is too small for my taste, but I like it too. And yes, sims just walk by and leave, kinda hard to even drink plasma from one cus they disappear too fast.
