What Hidden Worlds would you like to see?

As the subject name suggests! The Hidden Worlds thing kind of got abandoned - they only exist for two of the basegame worlds (Sylvan Glade and Forgotten Grotto), the first EP (Sixam), and the first GP (Deep Woods). If they hadn't been dropped as a concept, what kind of hidden worlds would you like to see?
For San Myshuno, I'd love to see that secret underground club that gets mentioned sometimes as a social event. Forgotten Hollow definitely should have done something with that boarded-up bat cave, and I would have loved to see the Sulani cave as a proper location (maybe with that nifty area where the mermaids spawn as a secret entrance instead?). For Strangerville, something with deeper lore for the strange plants and the Mother would have been really cool, like their original origin. For Brindleton Bay, maybe a location where you could meet a unicorn, in a nod to TS3's Pets?

If/when they add more occults, i would love something related to that. Though i have no idea what kinda worlds it could be
I love this idea! Even just a basement under a building no one would suspect.
I bet you could build your own Secret Club in the basement of an existing club. That could be a lot of fun.
That would be fun!
It is totally against Gaming Law to have a treasure chest or a book on a pedestal in a game that the player can't interact with/get the prize. lol
Or even a fairy world accessed from the 'fairy ring' of mushrooms in Sylvan Glades. It seems like a wasted opportunity to have that mysterious ring and not do anything with it. Just a thought...
I've never heard of it..
As Serverfra said, it's from Outdoor Retreat! If you visit the national park lot in Granite Falls, you can find a passage through the brambles. If you answer some questions (similar to the Sylvan Glade/Forgotten Grotto quiz), you get access to the Deep Wood, which is where a Hermit lives (befriending them is essential for an aspiration). It also has an insect and fish you can't get anywhere else.

Time enjoyed is never time wasted
I would love that! I've never played fairies in the Sims so it would be a new concept for me at least and just by reading threads here, it seems they're a popular occult Sim.
I personally use the hidden areas frequently in my gameplay, especially Sylvan Glades and Sixam. However, I do use the Forgotten Grotto if I have a handiness skilled Sim. But not as often as in the past once I figured out I could get the Batfish and Wolf Eel without going there. In the past, my fisher Sims would always need to be handy Sims too just so they could complete their aspiration.
I love that we can modify the hidden areas using the enablefreebuild cheat too. Sometimes I like to put objects there so my Sims can stay longer. One time I built an abandoned victorian home with an underground vampire nest in the Forgotten Grotto for my vampires to use while there. I wish our Sims could live in the hidden areas. But, I guess they wouldn't be 'special' if that were possible, eh?
As for additional hidden worlds, other than ones I've already mentioned, I also think it would be fun to have a series of hidden areas with clues to a sort've treasure hunt. Something along the lines of the movie National Treasure. It could perhaps start with that locked treasure chest in the walls of the shipwreck on Mua Pel'am in Sulani. It would have to be updated though to actually open and inside would be maybe a small treasure, but the REAL treasure is a map to the next clue... or something. *shrugs*
Also, that infuriating glass greenhouse in the Magic Realm should be accessible. Perhaps only unlocked when reaching the Virtuoso level with an additional perk of a spell to evolve plants to Perfect quality, or update the greenhouse to have all perfect quality plants needed for potions ready to harvest as a reward? Just a couple more ideas...
@Dijktafone did they actually say that? That's kind of funny....I mean, unless you are the kind of Simmer that reads the forums or reads a lot about the game, you probably wouldn't even know they exist! LOL not many people use them because they are, by nature, "hidden"!
