I have a problem with this game, as has been noted by another user on a previous thread in 2005 - although I read the solutions:
 
1) the code is on the manual (nuh)
2) ring/whatever EA and get a replacement
 
The only problem being is:
 
I have no manual, as I only found the game in my parent's house this evening whilst raiding for some of my old stuff, and there was no manual in the box.
In addition to this, I live in Britain and I am not willing to send post to the United States in order to get a replacement, much less for money ($10 - although this is only £5.06, that is £5.06 I could spend on more important things, like drinking). It would also cost for me to send the letter, along with a photocopy of the CDs I have...
 
So is there a British branch of EA or Maxis, or even a way to get the codes without being rather criminal and breaking into someone's house and theiving their copy of the game, only to find later on when I arrive home that they also have no manual; by not having to pay?
 
Dankeschön.
