Lost product code for sims 3

★★ Newbie
Can someone help me? I've lost my sims 3 product code and can't play the game!! I can't seem to find the manual that came in the box, and can't find any other way to get my product code!! Is there some way I can get it again?

Please get back ASAP!! Thank you!!

Is your game new or used?

@ellieh2006  Is the game in Origin?

If your lucky enough to have sims 3 already installed on windows, then you could search Regedit for the relevant keys, then transfer the codes to origin.

 

 

From windows Start Menu
Type in search box: regedit.
Open regedit,  and locate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Select: SOFTWARE
Scroll down to: Wow6432Node
Locate: Electronic Arts
Select from dropdown menu: Sims
Scroll down to: The name of the sims game yo want to find key
Select ergc: the CD Key should be displayed in the upper right

 

 

Or quickly search for the following folder:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Sims\"name of Sims 3 game"\ergc


If the sims is currently not installed and codes never transferred to origin, then you might have to repurchase.  No joy! Oops
