Sims 3 disc missing manual and code

Hello, my girlfriend just got a pc and she tried playing the sims 3 but she lost the Manuel where there’s a “code” to activate it? Do you know how I could fix this

  • acpeppxhpdv9  If your girlfriend ever registered her copy of Sims 3, either in Origin or the EA App or on the old Sims 3 site ( www.thesims3.com ), she can login to the account she used and download the game from within the EA App library.

    Separately, if she has access to an old PC where the game was previously installed, she may be able to find the code within the registry:

    However, if she has no code and no history of registering the game, she won't be able to install it.  I know it may not be what you want to hear, but EA often has Sims 3 on sale for 50-60% off, and the base game is part of a bundle (the Starter Pack) that includes one expansion and one stuff pack. So she could replace her game, and get some extra content, for $8-10 U.S. or roughly the equivalent.
