The Sims 4 Hidden Area:

Finding Sylvan Glade

There are two hidden areas included in The Sims 4, one in each World - The Forgotten Grotto in Oasis Springs, and Sylvan Glade in Willow Creek. All Sims may enter Sylvan Glade with no special requirements, while the other requires max Handiness. Once you've unlocked these areas, you can easily return to them at any time without having to go through all those steps - just travel to the neighborhood and head right in!

Video Walkthrough

Here is a video walkthrough for Finding Sylvan Glade. Watch it here or follow the link to subscribe to our channel for content notifications.

Where to find Sylvan Glade in Willow Creek

Hidden Area: Sylvan Glade
Travel to Crick Cabana in Willow Creek, above, and look for the big, mystical-looking tree in the Screenshot below.

Water, then talk to this Tree to enter Sylvan Glade

View the Tree a couple of times, then the Water option should pop up. After watering it a few times, I had the option to 'Chat about Roots', then 'Compliment on Leaves' and finally, 'Explore'.

Click to Enlarge. A beautiful view of Sylvan Glade

From there, you must again make the right choices, but get as many tries as you like. Select Follow the Sound, Travel Downstream, Enter the Mist, Travel to Glade.

Catching a Treefish in The Sims 4's Sylvan Glade Hidden Area

Now you are in a reliable place to catch a valuable and rare Treefish! There are also Plants you may not have, and places to search for Frogs and Dig. I am sure the spawners in the Glade are more likely to spit out rare collectibles, just like those in the Grotto.

If you use the bb.enablefreebuild cheat then you can build a house there and live there if you really want to. I did it with my own sims, it was fun

Your sim can't own the lot but can basically live there in the same way you can live above a retail shop. Your sim will still need to own a lot in one of the other 'regular' worlds.

Yeah; get a sim to the grotto and click on your cell phone and choose "invite sim to hangout at current lot" then choose what sim you want and depending if they're busy or not, they'll turn up.

Well, you can have one sims travel to the Glade, and then if you want another sim from your household to come, then click, "Bring Sim Here" as she click the arrow next to their icon. :3

They are a special effect, add to the atmosphere of the Glade.

I noticed the plants there grow fast, I think mostly after I communicate with them, but I can't seem to harvest from them, only take microscope samples. Is that because of my gardening skills, or because you can't?
Did catch some awesome fish, though

It can take many sim hours, days even, for certain plants to become harvestable. If your sim has L5 gardening skill then he/she can take a cutting before the plant becomes harvestable which makes the waiting much shorter. All of the plants there can be found in other worlds too which might be easier to wait for them to grow when you have more facilities. Or if you have Outdoor Retreat you can set up a camp in Sylvan Glade while you wait.

The Gardening Guide has a table with how many sim hours it takes plants to mature.

In general game play this lot is only for visiting or camping over night if you have Outdoor Retreat. if you want to build there you will have to use the building cheat: bb.enablefreebuild

It takes a while for plants to spawn into newly visited areas in the game. Keep your sim there for a while and then eventually you will see small shoots appear that will grow into the plants.

Hi, before I knew about Sylvan Glades I bulldozed Crick Cabana because I was completely changing Willow Creek. I have tried looking in the gallery for it, but none seem to have the tree. Is there any way that I can still unlock it?

The tree isn't actually on the crick cabana lot. You just visit the lot that use to be crick cabana in your game. Once loaded, the tree is in the land to the right of crick cabana. The land that cannot be changed by simmers. The tree has flowers all over the trunk and you can't miss it. View it a few times and more options will pop up. Water it and chat with it, then explore it when it gives you the option to.
