--PART OF THE DOUBLE DAY UPDATE SPECIAL--

--CAREFUL! LARGE PICTURES--

Weston Hills, a quiet rich city, with a bustling downtown area home to any regional headquarters, and even some world headquarters. With its expensive, yet peaceful homes, large playful parks, and beautiful mountain views from any point in the city, Weston Hills is the perfect suburb for any family. However, with its many offices home to big corporations, two super-regional malls, and busy ski resorts in the winter, Weston Hills has the worst traffic of any city below 50,000 in Henderson, with an average of 4.1 hours of gridlocked avenues a day. But even with its "big city in a small town" feel, Weston Hills continues to attract people from all over the rest of the Western World...

Downtown Weston Hills. In this picture you can see multiple malls, offices, condos, apartments, and even the Weston Hills Plaza Mall, which serves not only the 27,000 residents of Weston Hills, but also 250,000 residents in the Palmdale Valley. In 2012 this mall became the most expensive mall in Henderson, which attracted even more upper class residents from the valley.

The Hills Plaza Center, a 4 story, 550,000 square feet mall that serves the exact same area as the Weston Hills Plaza Mall. The two malls compete with each other, which leads to aggressive advertising. It is not uncommon for a commercial to air on Palmdale Valley tv stations with one of the malls directly attacking the other.

This screenshot from Henderson Homes shows how expensive Weston Hills is. As you can see Simtropolis members SimRico and TitanicBuff have homes here.
