The Sims 2: who gives a ****
In The Sims 2: Apartment Life, a secret neighborhood called "The Magical World" is added. It is only accessible by witches. There are two lots, where you can meet the head witches, buy reagents from them, and use their thrones, cauldrons and spell books. These lots are:


 * Palace of Neverending Light (for "good" witches)
 * Fortress of Eternal Darkness (for "evil" witches)

In Belladonna Cove there is a replica of 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.

The Sims 4
The Sims 4 features 1 secret lot per world, which can be accessed when certain requirements are done.

Willow Creek/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 neighbordhood, 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 collection.

Oasis Springs/Forgotten Grotto
Oasis Springs's secret lot, called "Forgotten Grotto", is accessed through 2 places in the world. The first one is located in the Park neighborhood, and the second is behind the Landgraab Mansion. Each of the entrances requires Handiness of level 10 to be pryed open, and become accessible. Similar to its Willow Creek counterpart, Forgotten Grotto has a text adventure that has to be completed before you can proceed, and the place contains a lot of Rocks to complete your Fossils, Metals, Crystals and Elements collection. It also has a unique fish, the Batfish, which can only be caught there and is required to complete the collection.

Deep Woods
Granite Falls hidden lot is called, "Deep Woods" and is accessed via a shrub in The Forest.

Sixam
Sixam is a new hidden lot that comes with The Sims 4: Get to Work. It is the alien homeworld and accessed via a portal invention or the Rocket Ship.
