A guide looking at fifteen of the best lots for gameplay in The Sims 4, which are spread across 12 different world. The aim of this guide is to help inspire gameplay on some of the best lots in The Sims, and showcase what each of these lots can offer to you as a player, and hopefully helping you to have the most fun possible in your game. Please like and comment, and Subscribe here: bit.ly/2ZM0L4h
The 15 lots mentioned are just my opinion, but I think they all have unique perks and things to offer your gameplay, whether it's easy access to hidden worlds, lots of exciting things going on around them, or even a unique look and feel that just makes playing on them feel a little more engaging.

I wish San Myshuno had a secret location. Like an abandoned subway station or a secret underground bar/club
this is such a cool idea hope EA will take note of that
@@rouveng2788 they never change the worlds once they are released... but I do pray for another city world will be added one day, having an Asian city would be very cool, for example based on Shanghai, Singapore, etc. and the poorest neighbourhood based on Hongkong where your living space would be of an unique new size 10x5, making all the tiny living builders happy 😆 I wished this new expansion pack would have a city world but it sadly looks like the average suburbs once again..
They decided to stop adding secret lots a long time ago because they said players weren't using it enough. So they won't add more 😐
I’ve never even thought of that - but now I think we need it!! ❤
@@rouveng2788oh they def won’t lol
I wish Sulani had a secret lot too, like a Mermaid's palace/Atlantis type of secret world. It would be awesome for a mermaid gameplay
Sulani has a secret cave beside the shipwreck lot ^U^
I had hoped there would be something behind a water fall when I first got the pack. It's instinctual! Would have been very cool.
Sims being able to swim in the neighbourhood can have its downsides - recently lost a ton of progress because I had one of the teens go for a jog in Copperdale . Normal, right? Except she decided to shortcut home by swimming across the bay in the middle of winter and suddenly froze to death before I could get her out and change her into warm clothes - then I tried to salvage the situation by having her dad come plead for her life to the grim reaper - Did he walk? Run? Bike? No, he jumped in the water too and also froze to death immediatly...
That's horrible! I would have closed my game and just sit in the dark for a while.
That is so chaotic, and usually I love sims chaos like this, but also you're right there should be things in place to stop that kind of thing happening. I can imagine it would be frustrating to lose a lot of progress this way.
LMAOOO
The weird fucked up glitchesake it fun too...and random..
My sim died of embarrassment once, I simply exited the game without saving and when reopened he was alive. If your sim die just exit the game without saving it and be careful next time. 😊
Perfect timing, I'm a tired of content obsessing over infants. Very refreshing, as always, thank you ❤️
I love the positivity you have for the game. Theres some channels that don't highlight anything positive about the Sims 4 and it comes across so hateful and annoying.. Like "10 THINGS I HATE about the Sims 4". I get criticisms but the game is not this awful abomination.
I totally agree. I have been playing since Sims 1. Sims 4 has some flaws but I love the game despite them because I remember how it used to be lol. It's still a fantastic game to me.
I really hate when people record videos talking about sims news and they only focus on the negative things. Ok Sims 4 is not the best game ever and they could have done things a bit differently, we all know that, but can’t you just be happy that we are getting this new feature?
I guess it comes down to whether you actually like the game and I think many simmers and even game changers just don't like the game much. There are many justified reasons as to why Ts4 is so controversial.
Sims 4 is not perfect, but we should also look at the good side of the game
I feel like y'all expect people to have the same opinion too much. Did y'all forget how humans work?
I love the huge lot in Mt Komorebi, I almost always turn it into a Winter Festival (park). I do the same for spring, (Newcrest), summer (Sulani) and fall festivals (Brindleton Bay). It's a fun way to have sims visit other neighborhoods for "valid" reasons, without it disrupting the gameplay too much and the huge lots in those worlds are just perfect for these. Also I love how cute you described the small lot in StrangerVille ("camping") when it's supposed to be a trashy trailer park 😅
You talking about the Ito house? In my game, my Sim romanced Megumi Ito, convinced her to leave her husband, married her and took over the house.
@@hollyhartwick3832 No I meant the lot he showed in the video, the huge one at the top right corner of the Mt Komorebi map :)
Am I the only who feels intimitated by large lots and very big houses? I always prefer modest size lots and smaller houses in the game
Yes! And one-story homes. I feel like I lose track of my sims if the house is too big
@@Mewpixel Same! I much prefer one story lots and they can be hard to find on the gallery
Of course not if I'm right here! I only use big lots for 30 day challenges
I just think it takes them too long to get anywhere they're trying to get.
I only play larger lots. Farming and animals eat up a ton of real estate. When a hoise is too small all I can see is walls and other then always plays f with them down I've never figured out hiw to maneuver the camera to see my soms 😂
As a somewhat "seasoned " Simmer, I have learned so much from you! And this video is another lesson from you I will continue to review. Thank you so much!! Also love your clarity and personal inputs!
Thank you so much for the kind words Jai! You da best, and I am so glad you like the content :).
My friend, I would loooove a Petey Savefile. No pressure. I just think you could do an awsome job.
Yes he has such creative/unique lot ideas
Potentially something that I will work on in the future! Creating the perfect save file would be so much fun! It's great to know that there's interest in this, thank you Rocio!!
I would love that too
@@PeteyPlaysIt some of the lots you've shared on the channel are functional, original and beautiful. Perfect 10s
Omg. I've been playing for YEARS, and there's SO MUCH I never even knew about !! This is so COOL!
Years playing TS4 and I didn't know about the secret entry to the buffs.
I really love how the sims 4 worlds have gameplay outside of the lot itself without being a fully open world. The newer worlds are also huge for off lot gameplay, moonwood mill is basically a full open world except the lots, it’s really cool. I like to pretend that the worlds are geographically relative to one another so I can separate vacation from quick visits. It makes the game more dynamic. My fave lot for child gameplay is in Del sol Valley in the suburban area - there’s a park where nps kids play and your sim can go make friends. It’s worth playing there or moving your sims’ friends/family there
Cordelia's Secret Cottage is my absolute favourite lot in the game
The lot you mentionned in San Myshuno is absolutely perfect for a fancy restaurant. I created an upscale restaurant, called Sapphire Restaurant, with formal dresscode, gastonomic menu, all modern decoration, and most tables on a terrace overlooking the city. It's one of my favorite builds I've done. The one you mentionned in Sulani, the one on the island, I built an abandonned fishing shack, where my sims can go for a fun day of fishing.
Olga I love both of those ideas, so cool and so perfectly suited to the lots!
@@PeteyPlaysIt Another one I'm very proud of is in Windenburg. In the city neighborhood, I replace the small park by a restaurant "The Fancy Wine Bar" it has a modern european vibe, serves wine and italian food. That spot is just perfect for a restaurant and I never use that park anyway.
Oh I’d love to copy that idea! I renovated the boring gym in that lot but it always felt off. Now I know why. The lot placement is too fancy just for a gym to take it. I had always wanted to move the gym to the residential house lot in Spice Market anyway. A fancy restaurant fits so much better in Uptown!
How do you create a restaurant??
Dead Grass Discovery is a great lot for a zombie survival challenge too. There are a bunch of sims arriving daily for a walk around the island, make them up to look like zombies, build a gate around the lot and avoid them if you avoid mods. Lot traits can help the rest of the challenge.
I adore the Strangerville lot you mentioned. I typically make the house just a teensy bit smaller so it's a micro home, and it's such a fun place to live. I'm going to need to decide if I want to go off-the-grid or the village lot for my spellcaster who'll be getting into the "saving sulani" (and probably marry a mermaid) things.
I built an Art Deco store on that lot once,
@@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874 - On the lot next door, the plane wreck, I evicted the guy living there and moved in a household of 2 Teen ghost girls called "Passengers". I renamed the lot "Flight 713" and the girls were passengers on that flight when it crashed, and now they haunt the wreckage.
I hate playing in the strangerville cause it forces me to do the quest. If theres a way to disable the sims from being a "zombie" i really appreciate.
@@bosoudang but once you do the quest you can "stop the weirdness" and there are no more zombies 🧐 I personally forgot that quest even existed and strangerville is one of ny favourite worlds to play I am a player who has only one world save though which I am constantly polishing, I guess it can be an issue for people who make 5638 world saves 😆
@@bosoudang - If you're not averse to cheating, there are codes to progress the quest.
TIL you can woohoo in the lighthouse?! I love brindelton bay and I'm shocked to know there is something new I've never explored! Thank you!
I'm currently playing a family on the off the grid oceanic paradise lot in Sulani and I adore it.
I also think turning Club Calico into a residential lot would be a really great location and features. There's a park next door and lots of cute cats, not to mention already a pool and great waterfront/marina view
your videos are so good you deserve more subscribers!!
Thank you so much Raee :), appreciate the kind words!
Your video just pop up at my recommendation I LOVE IT!!! I just sick of some content creator complain like "ahh....the new pack should be free update or SIMS team should find black builder to build the lot etc....".As an old ASIAN simmer, I konw all flaws about this game. I just want to be happy and excited about new content and watch some game viedos after work. Keep great contents going~ I learn a lot from your viedos even I play this game since it release. LOL
Awe thank you for this lovely comment 陳坤正 , I really appreciate it!!
My sims live in Slip 42 and since one’s famous, i made it a celebrity home and filled it with fancy wallpaper and expensive stuff. It feels so funny that the outside is all old but is really like a VIP club
Slip 42 in Strangerville is one of my favorites because it's also the cheapest residential lot in the game (outside of Ward Park in Del Sol Valley which is free if you set to to residential and bulldoze the park). It's a great lot for Rags to Riches gameplay.
You're super welcome Reedeux, thank you for the nice comment!
One lot I recently discovered that is astonishing is the Ward Park in Del Sol Valley. If you bulldoze it, it costs 0 Simoleons, so it's Free freal estate.
I agree with all the comments, your channel is wonderful and shows that the game really is endless when you engage the imagination and explore!
Likewise. This is one of my top 4 favourite Sims 4 channels. The others being Call Me Kevin (for the Jim Pickens chaos), James Turner, and Petey Plays It.
@Holly Hartwick oooo I'll look up call me kevin!
@@briannabaskerville88 - Oh, do. He covers a lot of games that he purposely plays wrong by making bad or stupid decisions purely for the chaos, but he has a lengthy playlist of a series involving a Sim named Jim Pickens that he just goes utterly gonzo with. The mayhem is hilarious.
Awe thank you so much Brianna! Appreciate the kind comment!
Your content is TRULY making this game more fun for me, thank you so much for all that you do! 👌🏻💚
Thank you so much for the kind comment Jade :), really appreciate it!
@@PeteyPlaysIt thank U for making it! 😁
I agree without Petey I would have probably left the game eons ago. Are you listening EA, pay Petey! 😉
Love this! I don't know why I didn't think to use the gym lot from City Living, it's so gorgeous!
I LOVE your location videos. Some of those views made me feel like it wasn't even the Sims 4. Especially the one in Uptown. I mostly just play in places where it doesn't snow lol Why has it taken me my whole existence to find that tree!? 😭
This gave me so many gameplay ideas! 😄 My game was starting to get a bit dull after obsessing over the infant update- I’m going to try to move my sim family into one of these lots!
This was such a great video! Thank you. It really helped me with which lots to choose because I always choose the same ones. Now I have good gameplay ideas
I'm mostly a builder, Sulani is the first map where I've completed every lot. Every lot in the world is lovely
Exactly the kind of video I was waiting for. I don't like leaving the lot much because of all the loading screens, so I'm always looking for lots that have a lot to offer. One particular lot that is never mentioned because it's in a world people don't like much is the one in Magnolia Promenade. I decided to live there just because I randomized a world to play in and I was pleasantly surprised. There's a park right beside the lot with a jungle gym (perfect for those who enjoy playing with kids and they need that for one of their aspirations), public bathrooms, fishing area, grill area and chess tables! It also is way more beautiful than it looks from the map. I really enjoyed having a residential lot there.
I love the rental feature, I have a main lot and turn my other fave lots into rentals
Every time I watch one of your videos I get so many ideas. I'm sitting at work with youtube as background noise, and now I just want to go play the sims. Thank you, for actually making a positive video about the game.
For Deadgrass Discoveries there's a boat you can clik on to travel to the mainland as well which is super cool. There's a boat on the mainland to travel back as well in the more rural area of Brindleton Bay
I didn't know you could reach the Forgotten Grotto entrance from the Landgraabs' house! I always thought it was part of the park, because I've seen people reach it from there.
I never seen the pet cemetary before and I play this game for years 😅
I recently visited it for the first time, and it’s very cool at night!
“a camp ground” so we’re not allowed to say trailer park anymore? im so glad they added the trailer park in stranger ville bc not all sims are filthy rich 🤑
Great video! I think some of my favorite lots are in Brindleton Bay and Windenburg. You mentioned both of them in the video.
Great video Petey, love how you high light the surrounding areas. You always bring refreshing ideas n inspiration. Thank 🙌🏼 so much for your enthousiast vibe!! Have a great Day 🥰🌞
Thaank you WildeBloem!! Always appreciate your kind words, and I hope you have a fantastic day too!
Ooo I didn’t know a few things, thanks for sharing! Another great vid content thank you
Thrilled to see my two favorites, Slip 42 and New Moon Shack. 😁 I especially love Slip 42-I like to move in a paranormal investigator and slowly build a subterranean lab under the trailer house.
On the tiny copperdale lot I always imagine playing an icey mermaid because of the temperature in comparison to Sulani and its own little natural swimming area. Love your videos Petey! Can't wait to see more 😍
Great idea
I’ve literally been looking for a video like this (on your channel) thinking you’d have one and here it is😂
Just subbed to your channel (tho i think i've seen some of ur vids before) amazing content you are literally teaching me how to properly play the sims 4 with its strengths rather than focusing on its problems (which it definitely has lol) and confusingly playing without knowing how anything works, getting frustrated and wishing it was the same as sims 2 or 3, I love how many things i didn't even know were a thing in the game or ideas you have for amplifying gameplay and utilising packs i never touch, very different and useful content, thanks!!!
Thank you Georgia! Appreciate the really nice comment and I am so glad that the videos have been helpful :).
So happy the one in Copperdale is on the list! It’s my favourite. I’m currently playing the 100 baby challenge on that lot and it’s so much fun ❤
The Affluista Mansion? You mean the Rocky Butte Community Pool? I always bulldoze it, make the Landgraabs live in a trailer, and turn it into a community lot. It's fun! There's a secret cave! Nancy and Johnny Zest are in love! Awwww. Makes sense. I make them share a bunkbed. I turn most of these lots into community lots, mostly for the reasons you bring up in this game. Like the smaller lot on the Crumbling Isle is a great cafe spot, especially if you've got a lot of vacation homes on that island. The Crumbling Isle is my favorite honeymoon location. Tartosa is so commercial. And run by evil mermaids in most of my saves. Lastly, I just wanted to say: I think Piccolo Luce is the cutest prebuild in the entire game. I don't know who made that one, but they did a beautiful job.
What do you mean Nacy and Johnny Zest are in love ? Johnny is Nancy and Geoffrey’s son, I’m pretty sure he was disowned that’s why he’s not on the family tree …
I am in shock! Nancy is all kinds of nasty if she is hooking up with her own son!
Ooh that sounds like a super fun use for the lot Hailey!! Love it so much!! And totally agree, Piccola Luce is beautiful!
@@mikasaackerman6224 I'm just learning now that my game has a pretty messed up bug.
This is so helpful, thank you! I will surely check them out. I have been looking for beautiful lots/locations where my master painter sim can paint from reference and make the best nature paintings! My most favourite lot is the pier perfection in Sulani, which has a picture perfect sunset right on your back porch.
I just bought get together because of this video, love your channel!❤️
Great content. This make me excited to play Sims4
This is so cool! I'm def gna take note because I tend to only play in Windenburg and Newcrest.
this was really interesting to watch and also really useful! thanks petey🤗
Thank you for the kind comment Greta :D, really appreciate it!
I actually played on some of those lots. Those where among the best lots where my Sims lived.
You deliver great content every. single. video. Thank you!
Thank you Luiza, haha I definitely try :). Appreciate the kind comment!
Holy crap. I didn't even know about the Sylvan Glade. Thank you!
Loved this so much! Thanks, Petey :)
Hooray! This makes me happy, thank you for the kind comment Fraffee :)
I just discovered your channel, and I really love your videos!❤
I also love this one lot in the quary in Evergreen Harbor, espacially if you build there a natural pool 😍
Dang I had never thought to explore many of the areas near these lots! so useful
Very interesting video. Thanks for the tips!
Thank u for this i didn't even know about most of this. And it really is stunning.I got curious about learning about new lots because my gamplay's household lot looked so ugly
a lot of these are my favorites!
I always find something out that I didn't know!!! 👌🏻❤️
I love every lot in Henford on Bagley but Cordelia’s secret cottage and old mill hill are my favourite.
Hey. Love your stuff so keep it coming
What I love about Tsulami is the easy access to fishing and the ability to gain collectables and money by scooping the sand on your own lot.
Your videos are wonderful. And I’d be lost without them
Thank you wolves within, appreciate the kind comment!
Key Point I think is like a perfect lot to make a rental -- who doesn't want to vacation on their own private island? You could even keep it Off The Grid and call it a place to go have a nice digital detox. XD But yes, thanks for the tour of the lots! Always nice to find new places to visit in the game. :)
There are some absolutely stunning locations in Selvadorada as well. The world is so saturated and rich. Definitely in my top five.
can i ask what your top five worlds are? :O
@@charlotus4459 Windenburg, Selvadorada, San Myshuno, Del Sol Valley, then Sulani.
@@NinjaCakkey W picks
@@charlotus4459 which do you like the best?
The Sky Fitness lot is where I put my custom-built city hall. I thought the views would be perfect for the mayor and if you're in the political career, you need to make speeches outside this lot all the time, so it just makes sense.
Suddenly I want to play on all 15 lots somehow simultaneously. The 15 lot legacy: each Gen lives in one of these houses as you move on
I love the second lot in Sulani
Great content! I love watching your videos :) I’d like to add to the list a lot from the university pack. There’s a dorm there that has a swimmable lake and fishing spot nearby! Forgot the name of the lot tho lol but I thought it was nice 😊
Ooh thank you so much for sharing that added awesome lot Issa :D
I would love to see your guide where we can find f.eg frog logs or where spawn plants and minerals. Sometimes it's so hard to find especially that it spawn after some time, not as soon as you visit neighbourhood
Crawdad Corner has tons of nodes/plants/fishing spots, you do need to change the lot type before being able to move in though
I love playing in the Werewolves world! So much to do without a single loading screen, I end up playing a werewolf all the time.
this was so fun, how about wacky business ideas next? like selling toilets etc
totally building either a container home or a log cabin for a woodworker and his dog in the little falls nook lot
I love your videos!! 🥰
Thank you so much MaeSeaSims :), really appreciate the kind words!
Why have I NEVER thought to use the lighthouse museum lot in Brindleton Bay or the gym lot in San Myshuno 😮 oh this is excellent, thank you
The lag is the crazy boss fights in this game.
Great video!!
Thanks so much Jaxon :)
What I learned from this video: Petey hates neighbors
Daisy Hovel was lackluster for a starter kit so I expanded it to a two story house at its location with a pool and I decorated it to fit a style influencer, her restaurant chef husband, and their twins who are boy and a girl, the former of who is older. The family was later expanded with an additional boy and an additional girl, but one of the twins later fathered a baby when his emo girlfriend became pregnant with her first child, who was a girl.
You should definitely renovate apartments next! 😊
not being able to swim in Winderburg is a crime!
Great channel. ❤
Thank you Kaylee :D
I had no idea there was a secret tunnel in windenburg!!!!
I would love if my sim just used the sink in the same room they use the bathroom in 😩
Gotta say the nice aussie accent 😍
How do you actually get into these places. I just sent my sim to one and only option was explore. I never got to go inside with him
I played a family in the lagoon look house and I never got any festivals occurring in the neighborhood. how strange!
I made a park where the Skye Fitness was cause it was so UGLY. I sorta made the park look like it belonged in the city landscape so happy about that.
Thank you for the appreciation for this game. Everybody hates it so much and yet they can’t stop playing. Personally I don’t like the CC/Mods thing, I like to only focus on what the game can bring.
turn of the fitness lot in sand my shoe no has me inspired to completely redo sand, my shoe know, and the types of lots that appear at each area. I typically make the old Salthouse a restaurant, but now I’m thinking maybe the stargazer lounge should be another penthouse, or perhaps the gym, and I can put a really swanky restaurant where the gym is at
i had to’ve used talk to text for this cuz what??
I put all my single sims at Daisy Hovel so they can fish easy and grow crops fertilizing them with fish. I do not have University or any school dlc but I can still role play these guys are education geared because once married and in a job they wont have as much time. Woodworking Handiness Bench and Fishing while they're still young, free, and single.
No eco lifestyle lots? I love this world so much!
I can't believe I listened and watch a 12 mn video without forwarding. Ever thought of making tiktok videos? Anyways This is very very interesting point of view.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video Rosemarie (well, enough to watch it in full haha), and I potentially will expand to shorts and tiktok in time for sure!
I was today years old when I learned about the pet graveyard in Brindleton Bay.
