Can I transfer my sims games from one laptop to another?

I have 2 sims games on my old laptop, unfortunately I do not have the disks or the product code. Is there any way I can get them on my new laptop using a USB or something, or did I lose them for go...

    @IICaRBiNeII If you installed the games from disc, you generally still need to insert a disc to tray to be able to play/run the game.

    As for the moving the installation it self, that is rather easy just copy the game folder (default location: C:\Programs(x86)\Electronic) and saves folders (C:\Users\your username\Documents\Electronic Arts) to a USB flash drive and use that to move the files over. 

    This is all of course much easier if you have the game and expansions registered in Origin or even on TheSims3.com. Do you remember ever registering the game?
