'''Secret lots''' are featured in ''[[The Sims]]'', several expansions for ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'' as [[lot]]s that are hidden from the neighbourhood view, and generally only accessible to Sims upon meeting specific requirements or carrying out a specific action. ''[[The Sims 3]]'' features the [[Hidden tomb]] lot assignment which hides the lot from Town View and prevents Sims from autonomously routing to the lot, but these lots are otherwise accessible at any time by player-controlled Sims.
A '''secret lot''' is a type of [[lot]]s that is, unlike normal lots, is only available to a [[Sim]] that has completed a certain task.

[[File:2.png|thumb|200x200px|A suspiciously familiar sleeping giant...]]
When a Sim has grown a full beanstalk, they can climb up it to find a cloud with a giant Will Wright sleeping next to a spilled can of beans, which they are able to pick up as the "Magic Beans" ingredient.
''The Sims'' contains two unused lots that cannot be accessed without modifying the game files, House00 and House11. Both lots are large and completely empty, missing even the invisible objects and portals required for the lots to function correctly. House11 can be seen in pre-release screenshots of the game, containing a large and complexly designed house.
