    I picked up these today for fairly cheap, However SimPark doesn't have a manual with a key and the back label says ON DISK MANUAL so I'm to assume this is before EA did the Serial stuff.

    Sims Unleashed also doesn't have the manual and thus, no serial. Can I just go online and buy a manual/the paper manual that holds it and mix and match them or are the keys locked to the disk (so you cant just mix and match keys)

    If it's like Mass Effect 3 on the 360 then the manual is on the disc as part of the game. Bloody cheap wakers at EA. They say it's to save trees. What a load of shit. My Mass Effect 3 had shit loads of other paper crap in it that I didn't want or need. I'd rather have a manual. It's part of the game. To me it feels like buying a sandwitch with no filling.

    If you mean SimPark, EA didn't have anything to do with Maxis at that point, my reasoning as to why I think this installs without needing a key.

    The Sims: Unleashed is the one I know needs a key but im unsure if I can just use any Key or if A key only works with the disk(s) it comes with.

    I still have my "The Sims" disc from way back when without the original case...with the serial on it. Can easily put in a serial created by a generator but I can't access the online Sims downloadables without the original serial.

    Awesome, I see the manuals come up for cheapo all the time. Will get one soon when the price is right.

    Surely more like been given two slices of stale bread, a tiny pat of buter, and some single slice fillings all singlely wrapped and hard to open and some thin plastic knife that breaks as soon as you look at the butter. :p
