I lost the serial codes for some of my Sims 3 games, but I've got them on my computer, just not registered on The Sims 3 website. I would quite like to register them here. But I've lost the serial codes.
I was told to go into Regedit, and do the step by step tutorial that will eventually lead to me finding my serial codes on my computer.
So, I've done the first few steps, and then I go and expand software, look for the EA folder, and it's not there. Boom. Gone.
I don't understand, because I definitely have EA on my computer.
Please help?
Since you still have the game installed you can go to RUN and type regedit to find the keys in the Windows Registry.
The paths to look for the CD keys depends on what type of computer/laptop you have.
See the following registry paths
(for Seasons) as an example:
For 32-bit OS:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Sims\The Sims 3 Seasons\ergc
For 64 bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Sims\The Sims 3 Seasons\ergc
ETA: I am running Win7 64-bit.
Here's a screen shot (reg key hidden), of that path as a visual aid. Make sure you follow the path exactly (for your system), which will show at the bottom of the registry window.
