Hidden World In Newcrest?

I was thinking about the new world and other things and it led me to wonder if there is a hidden world in Newcrest. I myself haven't went exploring Newcrest yet and am wondering if you guys know of one there? Was this just a Willow Creek/Oasis Springs thing or is EA extending these discover-able places into every world we get with TS4?

    Spoiler
    To me the city in the distance from willow creek looks like the non editable buildings around newcrest from map view, but when you go into play mode the style of neighbouring buildings looks more like wc plantation style. Newcrests map view conflicts with what's actually on the map in play.
    Because of that i would see the city in the distance from wc as an early Easter egg to apartments/city life which would have inevitably came sooner or later. (Ramble ramble). It explains both the generic look of those scrapers in nc and wc maps. Actual ones weren't designed.


    To the topic I don't think there is one or it would have been revealed by the staff if no one legit found it by now. If free swimming (lakes, ponds, oceans) was a thing they could have stashed a hidden entrance in the lake that's in the middle of the nc map, make use of that space.

    I would personally love
    1. if they gave us a new blank world with a different neighbourhood style from what we've had. Preferably a downtown themed area
    2. If they went back and updated some of the more lacking world's for more lots. I.e.
    - Magnolia Promenade is a grid. Patch one ring around so 4 lots become 16. Boom an actually usable and potentially dedicated business district for retail and restaurants
    - OS and WC could have benefited from an extra row of lots for commercial lots
    - Del Sol Valley needs a "middle class" area. It's from basic starter condos to straight up mansions with no in between. Literally another small 3 lot hood in a more "up and coming" could have been added.
    - Strangerville could realistically have turned some the decor lots/trailers into actual lots. It's also a grid system which is easier to change.
