I bought a bunch of sims 3 expansions years ago, and Im trying to reinstall them on a new pc. I still have all of my expansion discs and I put one in to try to install it. I got to the installation prompt but it's now asking me for the code on the packaging which I no longer have. Is there any way I can retrieve the code from this disc or install the expansion without the code entirely?
@myrosha No, there's no way to install via disc without a corresponding code. And the discs themselves don't have the codes recorded anywhere, at least not anywhere the user can access. But if you have access to the old computer, you can retrieve the codes from there:

If you ever registered the game with EA, either in Origin or on the old Store site, you could install your content through the EA App without needing the discs. You would however be forced to launch the game through the EA App.
