Can you get pets in The Sims 2? With the
exception of fish, not in the basic game. But the (appropriately named)
expansion pack, Pets, allows you to have cats, dogs and more. See
here for more about Pets.
I've lost my
serial code! What do I do? Residents of North America can follow the instructions on
this page. Replacement Serial
codes cost $10, and require the proof of purchase page from the manual, or a
photo or photocopy of the CD
as proof of purchase (if the manual has been lost).
If you're not a resident
of North America, I can't find any information on what you can do, so the
only thing I can recommend is asking EA via the appropriate Help Centre (UK,
Australia,
New Zealand;
there's no help centre for Ireland, so use the UK one).

Has a patch came
out yet? If a patch is released, I'll announce
it as soon as I find out on the News page.
How can I get a patch for my game? To check for game updates, follow these instructions:
For The Sims,
I'm not aware of a way to get game updates anymore. If you search
the internet, you might be able to find some websites hosting copies
of them, but be careful.
For The Sims 2,
go here
for a list of updates available.
For The Sims 3, open the game
launcher then click Game Updates on the left. If any updates are
available, tick them, then click Update Now.
Can you tell me any cheats
for The Sims 2? Sorry, I disapprove of cheats, they make the game boring.
However, I will give you one cheat, which allows you to, among other things,
build flooring etc. to the very edge of the lot and over the front pavement and
road. It's useful for community lots. Simply hold down "Ctrl" and "Shift", then
press "C" on the keyboard. The cheat box will appear at the top. Type "move_objects
on", then press "Enter" on the keyboard. Turn it off by following the same
procedure, but type "off" instead of "on" in the cheat code.
