Hi everyone!
umm...this may sound a bit weird but if you know the Simcity4 fan site called Simtropolis, there is a city journal which is made by me based on the real-world Singapore. I try to make it as realistic in the game as possible so some of the buildings or landmarks will look different. Thanks! Oh and I forgot to say that I'am new here and I simply love this website :)

Here's the link :http://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=52522

Maybe more landmarks for Sgp like Temasek, Lau Pa Sat and OUB can be done.

Yar I agree more landmarks can be done. But I do not know how to make them, you'll have to ask someone else to make them as for Raffles Place,i'll try to make it.

wow. that is so awesome. i've never seen such an awesome city done in simcity 4 before. by the way i dowloaded the UOB Plaza building but somehow it doesn't light up at night. I don't know what the problem is but it really looks great during the day.
