{{Era|TS|TS2|TS4}}A '''secret lot''' is a lot that is only available to a Sim that has completed a certain task.
'''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.
==The Sims: Makin' Magic==
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 2: University ==

Sims at [[college]], in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' gain access to the '''Secret Society Club House''' when they befriend three or more members of the [[Secret society|Secret Society]]. This lot contains a variety of [[career reward]]s and [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration rewards]]. Each campus has a different Club House. After gaining membership, the Sim can go to the Club House anytime they want by using the phone.
''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.
 
== =The Sims 2: Bon VoyageMakin' Magic===
Sims can climb a [[Magic (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#Justa Beanstalk|beanstalk]] that has grown to full height. They will be transported to a cloud with a giant [[Will Wright]] sleeping next to a spilled can of [[Magic ingredient|Magic Beans]], which can be stolen. The sleeping Will Wright cannot be woken or interacted with in any way, but Sims can view him which will display a thank you message for playing ''The Sims''.
 
Sims can return home from the clouds by interacting with the beanstalk.
Maps found by [[digging]] or taking [[tours]] on vacation in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' lead to secret lots in the three exotic locations.

===The Sims 2: Bon Voyage===
In the ''[[FreeTime]]'' expansion there is a secret lot for each [[Hobbies|hobby]]. Sims get access to these lots by increasing their enthusiasm in the hobby to level 5.
Maps can be found by [[digging]] or taking [[tours]] on vacation in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', and they can lead to a secret lot in each of the three exotic locations. Each lot is home to a unique [[NPC]] character. The hidden lots are not editable in any manner without modifying the game files.

Each of the 10 [[Hobby|Hobbies]] in ''[[The Sims 2: Freetime]]'' has an associated secret lot, containing objects that relate to the hobby and allow Sims to increase their skills (unlike regular [[community lot]]s).

There, Sims can interact with other Sims who share their hobbies, perform hobby-related activities, and can raise their skills. The hobby lots are not editable in any manner without modifying the game files.

===The Sims 2: Apartment Life===
*[[Palace of Neverending Light]] (for "good" witches)
In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', a secret neighborhood called [[Magic (neighborhood)|Magic]] is added. It is only accessible by [[witch]]es. There are two lots where Sims can meet the head witches, buy reagents from them, and use their thrones, cauldrons and spell books. Although each lot is themed to a specific alignment, there are no restrictions as to which lot witches can visit. Additionally, although not a secret lot, [[Belladonna Cove]] contains an intentionally hard to find residential lot called [[List of Belladonna Cove lots#Watervista Palace|Watervista Palace]], modelled on [[wikipedia:Baba Yaga|Baba Yaga]]'s hut.
*[[Fortress of Eternal Darkness]] (for "evil" witches)

<blockquote class="note">[[Image:Babayaga's Hut.jpg|thumb|Cabin on chicken legs]] In [[Belladonna Cove]] there is a replica of [[wikipedia:Baba Yaga|Baba Yaga]]'s hut. Looking closely, there are even chicken footprints in the ground behind it. Find it by pressing tab and turning the camera towards the sea, push it all the way to the left corner of the screen to see the secret lot. It is called Watervista Palace, and with careful maneuvering may be placed in the Lots & Houses Bin (Easier if edge scrolling is off.) The hut so far has no known point, just a secret someone tossed in as an Easter egg. It is well furnished with a bedroom, a kitchen/ living room, and a small bathroom. It costs about 40,000 simoleons.</blockquote>
==The Sims 4==
''[[The Sims 4]]'' features secret lots which can be accessed through specific interactions with certain objects. Once visited, the secret lots can be travelled to directly from their portal. Sims with Level 7 [[wellness]] skill can teleport to the secret lots while [[Meditation|meditating]] if they have previously visited the lot.
The Sims 4 features 1 secret lot per world, which can be accessed when certain requirements are done.
 
===Willow Creek/Sylvan Glade===
====Sylvan Glade====
Willow Creek's secret lot is called "Sylvan Glade", and it's accessed through interactions with the Living Tree located in the low-class neighborhood, in the lower right corner of the World View. In order to access it, you have to first "Water" the tree, then "Compliment Leaves" and then "Talk". This unlocks the entrance, which then triggers a text adventure, fairly easy to complete. [[Sylvan Glade]] is a world that contains a fairly large amount of Logs to search for Frogs, and is the only place where a Treefish can be caught. It's required to complete the Fish [[Collecting (The Sims 4)|collection]].

Each of the entrances requires Handiness of level 10 to be pried open, and become accessible.
