How do I access Sim City "British Cities"?

So far I can't see how I get to the "British Cities" stuff. I seem to have just the basic game, although the email receipt and the "May Games" library says I've got 2 games and 5 digital content packs.

    Found the stuff you refer to but clicking on the Download button doesn't appear to achieve anything.  The image says I have the Complete Edition, etc.

    @zx57pers Hey, did you get the Complete Edition?


    If so you can click the game panel in Origin then Extra Content. Scroll down the list and you should see the British City Set, among others. Download this, and you should be able to see the content in game. 

    Thanks!

    Apparently it's OK now.  It seems the British Cities element doesn't really add much, so I won't worry about it.

    @zx57pers Yes it's a selection of skins, it doesn't have a huge effect on gameplay. 

    Thanks for coming back anyway, it's good to see this got cleared up.

    @zx57pers@EA_David To make sure you have the British city add-on, double check your transportation tab - if you have the double decker buses available, the British set is installed. (Germany=High Speed Rail Station, France=French Police Station). 

    To get the British "look", you have to place one or more of the associated ploppables. Try putting in Big Ben and the double decker buses. New buildings will build with the British skins, they don't just automatically switch over like the futurization in Cities of Tomorrow. I don't have the addon, but I have heard it can be a slow process. You may want to place it on a new or empty road, or demolish all the buildings around it so they build with the proper skins.
