2015-2016 SimCity Download Instructions for PC

SimCity Basics

Unique Origin Accounts: If you have teams that will be sharing computers, you can share IDs. See section "MULTIPLE REGIONS UNDER ONE ORIGIN ID" on page 9 for details. Note: for each unique Origin ID, you will need a unique email address. Educators should manage and save the login information associated with each SimCity license so they can be reused again next year.

Computers: We highly recommend that teams create their cities in Single-Player mode (offline). If your team chooses to use online mode, the game should be set to "private" so that no other online players can modify the city.)

SimCity codes: SimCity codes are assigned to your account once you complete the Program Details Survey during the registration process. Please review the "How to Get SimCity Codes" document at resources if you are having trouble locating your codes.

Note: You may redeem a single SimCity product code up on to five computers. See the section on USING THE SAME ORIGIN ID ON MULTIPLE COMPUTERS on page 9.
