Don't.
It was full of bugs, a very bad game, with server problems, when it was released.
Services management and citizens' daily life management are badly done by the game, depending on your location you simply can't success in connecting yourself to EA's servers, it's quite impossible to create "rich districts" and "poor districts", etc...
There is a big controversy around this game because it was more a scam than a fully-fledged game. EA Games pushed Maxis beyond their capacities and rushed the release.
Furthermore, and that's a real problem: you can't play offline without cracking the game. You need a hundred per cent working connection, so forget playing in the train or when you have a problem with your box! You need to be always connected to EA's servers, same servers you have difficulty connecting yourself to!
I don't know if they resolved most of it since last week, but I cannot approve of such choice in marketing and development. It's not customer friendly, it's paranoid and it's sick.
