Your Mac will run it really badly with your current setup and you will not enjoy it at all, just trust me on that. If you upgrade your ram you will see a great performance increase, but non-the-less the macbook is not meant to run any serious games. Also, your computer will get super hot very fast and when it gets hot the game will slow down. But if you need your one hour fix of sims then just the 1gb upgrade in ram and it will do just fine.
Changing RAM, i would agree is super easy just make sure to follow all precautions, and please, no liquids :P You can definitely do it yourself
But for the RAM, you should think about buying it online, I would STRONGLY recommend using CanadaRAM (add a .com) It is cheap, apple certified and very reliable. I bought from them a few times and I was always happy with their support and timely delivery.
I am in no way affiliated with them, but just a recommendation for getting cheaper then apple store prices for the exact same ram (same brand (kingston) and heat protection).
