Secret Lot?

I found the cave where you get a little text box after you explore it.

But then I found this...

It looks like you can walk into, but I couldn't get any interactions to pop up. You need to swim or take a ski to get there.

Excellent screenshot, thank you. Is there a discovered (not user-made) mermaid in your household and is the conservation level of the island maxed? The gurus said that these are requirements for unlocking it: it is an added easter egg or reward for finishing the Conservation Career, like the albino dolphin.

I don't have any mermaids in my household, so I can't really test it out. My human sim nearly died swimming in cold water just getting there, so I didn't stay for long.

I also saw this entrance the other day. I cheated and made the island back to normal. I also was playing with a mermaid. Maybe I need a normal sim who maxed the conservation career to get in

I guess it's just a mermaid spawner? I'm confused.

How do you have a "discovered not made mermaid" in your household? I found that cave by the way but couldn't enter it.

Where is this cave I’ve been searching and what does it do? The fact that they chose not to give us any information makes me mad

It's on the backside of the volcano next to one of the small beaches. You have to swim to get to it.

I don't know as I haven't played with mermaids yet. Maybe you meet one, raise friendship levels with her, have her confess that she is a mermaid and then invite her to move in with you? My sim couple were out on a date at the Sand Bar and Nalani (the mermaid from the trailer) suddenly showed up, and started talking to my couple on her own. She was extremely friendly and tried talking to them both a couple of times. I had each of them introduce themselves to her but since neither are going to be conservationists I did not attempt to become friends. Based on my experience, though, I don't think it is that hard to meet her.

Well that will give me something to try.
