Everyone knows it... As soon as that game starts up and that bouncy, joyous music bursts out of the speakers, every gamer knows they're in for some fun. We're talking about none other than the Sims, specifically the Sims 4, because everyone knows that's where the best-hidden locations are. The Sims 4 rocked the world of simulation games with its improved graphics, extensive customization and, ♑of course, attention to detail when it comes to all the places sims can visit.

It was these three things that help to bring the game to life and transform it into something truly unique but today, we don't really care about that. Today, it's all about the spots we're desperate to get into and the places we're dying to find. Sims 4 is notorious for continuously having new locations whether it be through the original game or extended content and we're going to expose it all. Many of these might be well-known to true Sims fanatics while some might have gamers flying ou♍t the door to grab expansion packs just to find them. For all fans, new and old alike, adventure is all part of playing this crazy game and it's about to be a wild ride.

20 Unlockꦺi﷽ng Sylvan Glades

Of course, this is usually everyone's first go-to when it comes to discovering secret locations in the Sims 4. I'll be the first to admit that this is the very first place I ran to simply to get ahold of a Cow Plant (for the record, it took three days of fishing to actually get the seed.) Sylvan Glade is simple enough to find by traveling to the Crick Cabana and finding a massive tree in the backyard🐟. By answering a few questions correctly, gamers will find that the tre🔥e door has been unlocked and is now a travel destination. Simply ascend through this magical door and you'll find yourself in the 'Glade.

19 🍒 Forgotten Grotto Requires Some "Handiness"

//sims.fandom.com

Before thinking about attacking this location, there's one thing gamers need to be aware oꦺf: Their "Handiness" skill. Without a solid level 10 in this area, there's no way to take a crack (literally) at this secret location. It's easy enough to find and while it's not exactly hidden, it is considered inaccessible without working your skills (or playing the system a bit to raise🅠 them... but that's another article.) In Desert Bloom Park, gamers will want to go transcend the cliff behind the mansion and at the base, you'll find a sealed-up entryway. With the correct skill level, these planks can be taken down.

18 💛 👍 All The Areas For Usable Plants

In the Sims 4, usable plants are a great way to spice up cooking skills, expand aesthetic appeal, and hone fishing and gathering skills. Many of these can be found in hidden locations, such as Sylvan Glade. Since this is the easiest "hidden" location to find on the map, it makes sense that many gamers would take advantage of what they can get out of this pristine fishing hole. Some of the plants you cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚan find in this area are Snapdragon, Lily, Strawberry, Bluebell, Basil, Cherry Tree, and Pear Tree. These things can then be planted in soil plots which can be bought through the "Buy" option in the menu. Simple!

17 Umbridge Manor Is Gr♐eat For Stealing Plants On The Go

While it's not necessarily a "hidden" location, it is one that's worth noting if your goal is to be a master gardener. Growing your own plants and being self-suf🦂ficient can be helpful to save some cash but also expand culinary s🐷kills, which is obviously useful when achieving event goals, career goals, and hunger satisfaction. If you're not keen on fishing or finding these items in the suggested way, then it is possible to snag them from somewhere else — specifically Umbridge Manor. While it's not like you'll find everything, it is possible to get a great plant base when stealing from this high-end household.

16 Taking A Vacation To Selvadorada ⛦

Expansion packs — gotta love 'em, right? And we certai🎀nly do. Along with hidden locations, this is one that's a must-visit for those who like a bit of adventure in their life. Selvadorada is a location accessible via the Jungle Adventure Game expansion and allows gamers to explore at will. Some of the coolest locations include Belomisia Trailhead Park and even a Temple that holds plenty of surprises for those who have never explored it. Gamers can find plenty of archaeological items with some simple exploring ▨if they put the work in, many of which make this expansion pack worth it.

15 Granite Falls Is Also A Va🅠cation Option

Granite Falls must be accessed via the "Go On Vacation" option in the menu. While it's not a permanent destination, it is possible for sims to hang out for quite some time considering all this vacation world holds in store for them. One of the secret locations within the world is "Hermit's House" which can be accessed via the National Forest. Once you've made it there, you'll need to encourage your sim to "explore" near the bramble patch. Once they've discovered the secret opening, y🎃ou'll have the option to pass through this cave and voil❀a — you've just found yet another hidden spot.

14 Find The Festivals In San 🦄Myshuno

The great thing about Myshuno is that the festivals are open to all manner of people — including those who aren't actually residents of the city. While most gamers don't think of virtual festivals as something that inc💞ites very much fun, you'd be surprised. The festivals of Myshuno offer various items for purchase as well as entertainment unique to the theme — including Romance, Humor, Geek, Spice, and a Flea Market. Each of these festivals iꦦs worth attending if only for the items you'll purchase, as they're not available anywhere else or at any point in the game. They're a blast to attend and are sure to boost a sim's mood if nothing else! Find the festival schedule .

As opposed to the typical careers and aspirations in the Sims 4 game, San Myshuno allows sims who reside there to choose a unique career path. "Politics" is not something that's enabled in the original version of the game and if you're really keen on playing your cards at the legislature, this can be of some value to your sim's household. The "Political Career" option ꦿis fun and interesting, and definitely worth checking out this dynamic city fo♑r. If nothing else, it's a neat segue-way from the traditional career paths that we all know so well from previous versions of the game.

12 The Von Haunt Estate Is Home To A Wild Hedge Maze 👍

While we're definitely not going to tell you how to make it through or get out of it, this hedge maze is pretty spectacular. For those seeking a challenge or just something fun and silly for their sims, look no further than the Von Haunt Estate. Not only is this Estate a work of creepy art, but it's also home to a spectacular hedge maze that will have your sims lost in thought... Or just lost, period. It's a fun reprieve from serious life and a unique adventur🗹e for sims who find themselves with a day off. Not to mention, it's free, so there's no cost to give your sims some fun.

11 🌺 Seek Out A Sea Monster At The Bluffs

In the Get Together expansion pack, pl🧜ayers have likely noticed that there's a spot called "The Bluffs". What seems to be a simꦐple drop off that overlooks the sea is actually home to an unusual creature. Normally, this would be a "pictures or it didn't happen" type of situation, but it turns out that there are pictures and it does happen. By positioning your sim in just the right spot overlooking the sea, there's a chance that you, too, might be able to witness this elusive sea monster. It's not exactly a "hidden" spot, but it does have a hidden objective and one that's pretty rewarding to spot.
