Hello, and welcome to Northern Pacifica, so named because it is in the North Pacific.

Here is an overview of the new region:

As you can see, most of the terrain is weird colors. this is because this terrain was terraformed with sc4terraformer. Here is the city we shall be visiting today:

Pacifica Bay is a small city with just around 3000 Sims, and a highway, which is owned by the city, because it doesn't cost too much to maintain. Here are a few shots of the city:

The school area,

The police department, which has been given a grant from the government for high speed cruisers to catch the bad guys on the long stretches of highway,

And the avenue underpass, which is around where most of the rich people have decided to show up.

Today, the Pacifica Bay Highway Department (PBHD) is going to upgrade a CloverLeaf interchange, in anticipation of heavy traffic along 2 crossing highways, Highway 9 and Highway 26. The money is coming from a wealthy businessman, pleased with the city officials and sick of the current eyesore of an interchange. First, the PBHD ripped out the on and off ramps of the existing interchange:

Then they destroyed a section of embanked Highway 9 over Highway 26:

And they leveled the terrain:

And built the elevated section of Highway 9:

After that, they built the loop ramps, making the interchange functional:

And built the direct ramps, making it convenient. Here is the finished interchange:

The businessman left extra money for them to do what they wanted to, and after some debate, the city has decided on a canal. The route was chosen and construction began:

And then the canal was finished:

As you can see it may be possible to float a deceased Sim down the canal to the cemetery, instead of using a hearse.

Well that's it for today, but before I go to eat breakfast, here's 2 teaser images, giving you a hint of what will happen next time:

You guys do NOT want to know how long it took to plop all those 1x1 dirt tiles in the construction site teaser.
