Will this program help if I lost my serial code for one of my Sims 2 Games?

Yes, it will. It retrieves your serial key from the registry.

Default Need help
Thank you so much- finally somebody is thinkin'!
I lost two of my ex. pack manuals: teen style and bon voyage...I emailed EA because I was sure that these codes are recorded somwhere on my computer or else I couldn't very well be able to play them. They told me to re-register my game, which I did, then told me I'd have to send my disks to them with 10.00 to be "read".
I was thrilled when someone told me about your program and it's working...but coincidently, there are only 2 packs that aren't showing up...the very same two ex packs that I'm missing my codes for! Now I'm starting to wonder if EA didn't ask me to re-register and somehow remove those files so that they couldn't be read?! (Paranoia LOL) but really- that is odd. They must know about your program one would think, yet they never mentioned it to me, even though its found on their own websight. Is there a way to manually look for those games? They show up on my computer, and can play them etc.
Even if I can't get my own issue figured out, I'm still gratefull

If they are on your computer then the key code is in your registry.

I don't think so as that will be one key for the base plus EPs. You can still find it manually though:

since OtherworldBob got it to work with Deluxe "maybe" it would work with Double Deluxe if it was ever updated but the creator hasn't been on in months

hope nothing bad happened to them

The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. - L. Lavner

Na, I'm okay just had plenty of things eating my time, but I've finally got myself a break from the craziness and found myself on a bit of a holiday.
Thanks for the concern though, with the speed the internet moves at I'd have thought I would have consigned to the internet achieve.

I've updated the regular version so that it should now pick up the three games it has been missing in my absence.

Also, I've been working on and have uploaded an experimental version for anyone to try out.
Theoretically, it should pick up any The Sims 2 serial number resident in the appropriate location of your registry - without the need to update with every new game that comes out.
It works at my end, but as ever, your mileage may vary, crash reports very much welcome.

I hope everyone else is well and ready to enjoy the Olympics!

follwing this i guess i was mistaken its

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff

Not "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff"

-------------------------------------------------------

that was quick an it worked

heres a pic you can use if you want since i noticed there wasnt one on the 1st page

after Apartments you should be done updating this unless EA/Maxis does a Triple Deluxe since they said in the FreeTime chat anymore objects will be posted at the Overpriced Sims Store

Argh - I'm forever forgetting to update those balloons.

Oh, so Maxis/EA maintained the ampersand this time?
Quick update done for that one.

Good to know the experimental version is working for you guys.

It's picking up all EPs and SPs for me too, Bob (the experimental version, that is). I'm curious- will it pick up the deluxe/ double deluxe keys? I don't have those packs myself to test.

Both versions should pick up both the Deluxe/D.Deluxe keys now - I'm told that the Deluxe key is stored in precisely the same way as any other base-game/expansion/stuff key.
I reckon that Double Deluxe would follow suit.

Default Help please
K so with this serial key thing or code or whatever. I need to be able to put it in when i put it in the first disc. So I get up to that part. And then I try clicking on the sim2keyprinter and it says i don't have the game or something. What should I do??

That is correct- this program will only read the key once it exists in your registry. You need to manually type the key in from the code on the back of the leaflet that came with your disc.

Whilst I certainly be doing an update for Apartment Life, this is the reason for the experimental version...no matter how many 'Deluxe' or 'Stuff' packs that appear in the future, it should pick them all up. I'd fully expect 'The Sims 2 Complete Collection' to turn up at some point.
It's looking more colourful now too, I've put the game icons back in and that's all working. Just some layout issues to work on now.

I haven't seen the GBP/SimPoint ratio yet, but I've always been suspicious of micro-transactions.
