Discover Kuala Lumpur’s Premium Landmarks

Perdana Botanical Gardens

Even the busiest skyline needs somewhere peaceful. The Perdana Botanical Gardens bring tropical plants, picturesque gardens, and a distinctive glass-covered structure to your city.

With birds flying overhead and Sims exploring the grounds, the Gardens offer a calm urban retreat and a refreshing touch of nature among Kuala Lumpur’s towering architecture.

Reach New Heights with Sky Vista Tower

Mayors progressing through the Free Reward Track can add a bold modern statement to their skyline with Sky Vista Tower.

Combining luxury, innovation, and incredible views, this breathtaking skyscraper represents Kuala Lumpur’s modern side. Its glass-covered upper section rotates above the city, while colorful antenna lights illuminate the tower at night.

Climb the Batu Temple Stairs

Few landmarks can transform a city landscape quite like the Batu Temple Stairs. This dazzling staircase turns a sacred pilgrimage into one of the Season’s most spectacular sights.

Flowing water, rich foliage, drifting mist, birds, and visiting Sims fill the area with movement. At night, a spotlight shines upon the statue while lamps glow around the stairs, creating a dramatic destination worthy of your finest city views.

Build the Skyline Harmony Hub, Level by Level

The Season’s upgradable showcase is the Skyline Harmony Hub, an ambitious development that combines soaring towers with welcoming green spaces for every Sim to enjoy.

The Skyline Harmony Hub has 12 upgrade levels and receives two major visual upgrades. Its appearance first changes at Level 6, before reaching its final and most impressive form at Level 12. Whether you place it within a modern business district or beside one of the Season’s historical landmarks, you can watch a new piece of Kuala Lumpur’s skyline grow alongside your city.

Even More of Kuala Lumpur to Discover

The wider collection continues with the lively Batu Temple Complex, a sacred landmark filled with the spirit of festivals, traditions, and celebration.

You can also introduce the striking modern design of Masjid Negara, complete with peaceful water features and dramatic nighttime spotlights, or connect parts of your city with the glass-covered Saloma Link pedestrian bridge.
