Once a Sim has the correct Handiness level, players can click on the abandoned mine to have their Sim interact with it. Players can choose to achieve this through skill cheats or organically by having their Sims read books about Handiness, repair appliances and plumbing around their home, and perform upgrades to appliances, plumbing, and electronics. The mine entrance is sealed by boards that cannot be broken until a Sim has reached Level 10 of the Handiness skill. The Forgotten Grotto is located in an abandoned mine in Oasis Springs and can be accessed either through Desert Bloom Park behind the Affluista mansion lot or behind the Landgraab lot. The Forgotten Grotto is another Sims 4 hidden world that is available to all players in the base game, but it takes a little more effort to access. Choosing the correct options will result in a loading screen, and the Sim will appear in Sylvan Glade. If a player chooses incorrect options, the passage will eject the Sim, and the Sim will be left with an uncomfortable or embarrassed moodlet that will prevent them from trying again until it expires. They should select Follow the Sound, Travel Downstream, Enter the Mist, and Travel to Glade. Players need to enter the passageway and answer a series of roleplay-esque questions about where their Sim will navigate inside the rabbit hole. Eventually, a few more interactions will open up, encouraging players to chat with the tree and compliment its leaves.Īfter Sims spend enough time talking to the tree, the tree will reveal a door. This will be the case the next few times the Sim interacts with the tree.Īfter a while, players will see the option to water the tree, which they should have their Sim do. The only interaction that will be available at first is to View the tree. The player needs to have their Sim approach the tree and click on it. Their Sim has to encourage the tree to reveal its secret door. Players cannot simply access the Grove by finding the tree, however.
