I had my expansions installed on a past laptop, and now i can’t get a hold of my game codes that came with the game discs. Is there a way to get them back without repurchasing?

@Ericashadow101 If you still have access to the old laptop, and you haven't cleaned out the TS3-related data (a normal install is often not thorough enough) you may be able to find the codes there.

If you ever registered your codes in Origin or on the Sims 3 Store site, the base game and packs should be in your Origin library now. (Origin and the store share information.) Just login with the same email address and password that you originally used, and the content will be available to download for free, no discs or codes necessary.
