The sims3 serial code

I have the Sims 3 high-end loft stuff and I lost my serial code. How  can I get a new code?

:mansad: I would really appreciate that.

  • Do you still have the game installed on a computer ? If not, contact Customer Support.

    Here are the instructions on how to get the keys from your registry (PC only). Credits fo to Carl's Sims 3 Guide

    You need to be signed in as an Adminstrator first.  Windows may require your permission to open the
    Registry Editor and if so, just click on yes.

    1.   Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type regedit in the search bar and press Enter.  
    2.   Click on 'File' at the top left of the window that opens then click on Export.
    3.   Choose a location and name for the file as this will be your backup registry file.
    4.   Click Save.
    5.   This backup is created just as a precaution.

    Now to find your serial codes for each specific EP or SP installed on your computer:

    1. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder.
    2. Expand the SOFTWARE folder (Wow6432Node for 64 bit systems)
    3. Expand the Electronic Arts folder.
    4. Expand the Sims folder
    5. Expand the EP or SP you need the code for
    6. Click on ergc and in the box to the right under 'Data' you will see the code
    7. Write it down somewhere save
    8. Repeat above steps for each EP
