No, I'm not asking you to give me registration codes, nor am I trying to promote cracks or any of that nonsense. I wanted to say that well in advance . If anyone posts registration codes I'll be very quick to email mods about it, and please don't email them to me either. I don't want to use your codes, I want to use my codes!

So tonight I decided to re-install some of my games, after having just recently restored my PC. The Sims 2 is the real behemoth of the group, with an onslaught of expansion packs to install. But, much to my dismay, I couldn't find the booklets to Nightlife, Open for Business, or Seasons. I didn't think it'd be a problem, because EA's website, as I remember it anyway, had an area where you could retrieve your old registration codes for games you've purchased. But I can't find the area on the site where they show this now... does anyone know where they show your registration codes, or if they do that anymore? All I could find was a "service" (if you can call it that) where they charge you $10 for a new code... but I don't want a new code, I want my old one. If push comes to shove I can go digging through boxes, but I'd rather use the EA website if that's still an option.

I've got the opposite problem. I've still got all of my serials written down in a big book but I can't find half the discs...

I have the same problem I want to install half life 1, can't find key (stupid cheap CD sleeve, never can find the darn things) and I'm not paying the money for a new key.

I broke down and found the cases, after spending way too much time on this lol. And here's the best part, after spending all that time trying to find the booklets, my install only made it half-way because of a crack in the "Open for Business" CD. How it cracked, lord only knows. I used an old radio station trick to fix it (super glue, lol)... after it dries I'll try again. I need to figure out where they keep that EA downloader utility as well, because Sims 2 Pets was an online buy.

That's not going to work. The pits need to line up exactly with no missing parts.

I install them by network sharing other people's drives.
