If you would like to submit your city, terrain, starter town, or scenario to us to be posted on our exchange then please e-mail it to big_badred@yahoo.com. Please include your mayor's name, a brief description about your city, any particular snapshots that you might like to include, and any custom landmarks that you used in the building of your city.

If you want to include your custom landmarks (which we encourage thoroughly) follow these instructions. Custom landmarks are made by converting a Building Architect Plus building via the Landmark Converter or a SC3K_Unlimited Rendering Kit building into a landmark for use in your city. These programs always put the landmarks into the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 3000 Unlimited\Apps\PlugIn\

Go there or click on the link above if you like. You should easily find the landmarks that you're looking for because the names of the landmark folders are the same as the names of your landmarks.

Next you'll want to select the landmark folders that you need to send and copy and paste them somewhere safe (i.e. a folder in My Documents, on a floppy disk, the desktop). It is important that you copy the entire folders, not just their contents, otherwise it will not work. Do not alter any files names or any other information either.

Finally you can compress or zip them and e-mail the whole thing to us along with your city.

It has been brought to our attention that some of our visitors are hesitant to send their custom landmarks along with their cities for fear that their buildings will be stolen and posted elsewhere. We would like to reassure you that the landmark files that you send us should already be converted and thus, cannot be edited further. Also they cannot be uploaded to the official SimCity exchange as they are not the right file type. Rest assured that your custom landmarks are indeed safe with us.

--Thank you very much for your time
