I have a theme for every world in my game, expressed predominantly through the sims living there rather than the buildings or the architecture, and Newcrest is where most of my religious sims live.
There are two churches, the Church of the Holy Llama in Ridgeline Drive, and the Church of Mother Moon in Bridgeview, each with its own congregation in the form of a club, and they don't like each other all too much, so the mayor, a high priestess and the only person in Newcrest who is a member of both clubs, is constantly trying to mediate between them.
The high priestess lives in a Japanese-inspired shrine in the third neighbourhood, which is otherwise mostly a downtown area. There's a vet clinic owned by one of the families in the Holy Llama congegration, a school, a restaurant, and a trailer park.
