7 The Cave Of Sulani

Sulani, the stunning Polynesian-inspired world introduced in the Island Living expansion pack, has consistently earned the title of one of the most breathtaking realms within The Sims 4. To embark on this adventure, players must first locate the mysterious Admiral's Wreckage and embark on a search for a hidden moss-covered cave. Within this captivating cavern lies an incomplete mural, patiently waiting to be discovered on an adjacent wall. As avid explorers delve deeper into the depths of the cave, uncovering its vibrant wildlife and encountering the wonders of nature, the mural gradually comes alive, completing itself piece by piece. Once the masterpiece is fully restored, the option to Travel Cave Waters surfaces, beckoning Sims to venture forth. As they emerge from this remarkable cavern, they are bestowed with a high probability of discovering precious treasures, such as enchanting mermaid kelp and elusive rare shells, to add to their prized collections.

6 Sylvian Glade

Sylvian Glade, a hidden world in the base game, often goes unnoticed by players. To discover this secret realm, players need to visit the Crick Cabana lot in Willow Creek and locate an unusually conspicuous large tree. By having their Sims perform a series of interactions, namely "View," "Water," "Compliment on Leaves," and "Chat about Roots," the option to unlock "Explore" will become available. Once the Sim enters the tree, they must then "Follow the Sound," "Travel Downstream," "Enter the Mist," and, finally, "Travel to the Glade." Sims with a wellness skill level above seven can effortlessly teleport to Sylvian Glade while meditating, without any direct interaction with the tree required.

This idyllic realm is brimming with vibrant foliage, enchanting ponds adorned with rainbows, and cascading waterfalls accompanied by authentic sound effects. Players have the opportunity to craft a wedding venue or a clandestine abode within a compact 15 x 10 lot. Aside from angling and gathering rare flora and amphibians, the available activities are rather limited. Regrettably, its aesthetic charm alone falls short of earning a commendable rating. Other crucial factors must be taken into account.

5 The Forgotten Grotto

The Forgotten Grotto in Oasis Springs is the second hidden world in the base game. It resembles the entrance of an abandoned minefield, with sparkling crystals and serene ponds that provide a perfect spot for fishing. To unlock this secret area, Sims with a handiness skill level of 10 should venture to the back edge of the Desert Bloom Park in Oasis Springs. There, they will find an entrance to the Grotto that requires breaking in. In order to successfully access the hidden world, Sims should follow the steps of "Take the Wide Path," "Climb Ladder," "Step onto the Ledge," and "Travel to the Grotto."

4 Sixam

Similar to the Sylvian Glade, players have the option to construct on a small 15 x 10 lot in the Grotto. However, what sets the Grotto apart is the presence of a mysterious wooden toilet, the sole interactive item, and the chance to encounter the elusive native Batfish.

Sixam, the celestial realm developed by Maxis for The Sims franchise, stands as the ultimate challenge for aspiring explorers. This elusive domain is home to extraterrestrial beings from the expansive Get to Work expansion. What distinguishes Sixam is its ethereal essence, requiring a heightened sense of creativity to shape. Moreover, it provides an expansive 20 x 20 lot, the perfect canvas for construction. The interplay of enigmatic alien NPCs, luminous shades of blue and green, and surreal vegetation cultivate an unparalleled ambiance that sets this world apart from all others.

3 Mt. Komorebi Upper Mountain

To reach Sixam, there are two distinct approaches. The more convenient method involves joining the scientist career and utilizing two elements, two uncommon crystals, and two uncommon metals to craft a wormhole generator. On the other hand, a much more challenging route demands mastery of the rocket science skill at level 10 and the installation of a wormhole generator on a rocket ship. However, this alternative requires significant expenses and a considerable amount of time. Similar to other concealed realms, Sixam serves as a haven for aliens and geodes, allowing players to complete their collections. Moreover, it presents exclusive plants that can be brought back to the human world.

Mt. Komorebi in The Sims 4 is a breathtaking world that draws inspiration from the charming mountain islands of Japan. The Upper Mountain region, in particular, showcases awe-inspiring snowy landscapes that are sure to captivate players. Interestingly, while playing the game, users have the freedom to customize the 20 x 20 lot at the mountain's peak without resorting to cheats. However, the assigned lot cannot be altered. While reaching the pinnacle of the mountain may require determination and time, the mesmerizing beauty and the rewards that await are undoubtedly worth the arduous climb.

2 The Magic Realm

Once Sims reach a minimum of level eight in their climbing skill, they have the opportunity to organize and complete a Mountain Climb Excursion social event, allowing them to lead a hiking trip. As a reward for reaching the summit, all participants receive a beanie, bracelet, wall plaque, and earn 300 simoleons. Inside the ice cave, Sims can engage in WooHoo, drink from the mountain spring, and explore the area, providing opportunities to enhance their skiing and snowboarding skills, earn simoleons, and discover valuable minerals. Additionally, the snow pile holds various prizes, such as Simmi capsules (common), a potion of youth (uncommon), and even a rare reward of 10,000 simoleons.

The Magic Realm, a hidden town brimming with spells, potions, and wandering spellcasters, holds no surprises for devoted fans of the Realm of Magic expansion pack. Perched atop a swirling vortex of rocky terrain, this magical realm captivates with its vibrant hues, whimsical architecture, and mystical forests that intensify its enchanting ambiance. Accessing this ethereal domain involves venturing to Glimmerbrook and entering the magical portal. Already-empowered spellcasters can readily journey to the Magic Realm from any location by simply interacting with the Glimmerstone stored in their inventory.

1 Hermit's House / Deep Woods

Contrary to its title, The Hermit's House in the Deep Woods is undoubtedly the most magnificent hidden world in The Sims 4. Tucked away in a secluded corner of the Granite Falls Forest national park from the Outdoor Retreat game pack, a delightful thicket awaits. Sims need to follow a sequence of actions: "Explore," "Step Forward," "Keep Walking," and "Travel Towards the Sim." These steps will transport players to an awe-inspiring secret area within the forest. Here, they will find enchanting cascading waterfalls, vibrant rainbows, lush greenery, and crystalline waters teeming with fish. While some worlds may be small but impressive, The Hermit's House offers a vast expanse, perfect for adventurous hikes and explorations.

In The Sims 4, players have the opportunity to encounter and establish a friendship with the enigmatic Hermit. This reclusive character not only imparts a unique fertilizer recipe to Sims but also assists them in discovering elusive flora such as blackberries. Residing within an expansive residence set upon a 30 x 20 lot, players can embrace their creativity and either coexist with or supplant the hermit, allowing them to construct and customize their very own Hermit's House. The Sims 4 is presently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
