The Sims 1 Backups Aren't Loading

So I've been playing The Sims Complete Collection via CD. I backed up the UserData folder (I've only ever played in neighborhood 1).

I bought and downloaded The Sims Legacy Collection via Steam and deleted the original UserData folder and pasted my back up but it's not loading my progress. Neighborhood 1 is at it's starting setup. Anyone else having or solved this issue? Did I do something wrong?

    diypepper  Sims 1 saves are now apparently stored here:

    C:\Users\[your username]\Saved Games\Electronic Arts\The Sims 25

    You can replace the existing UserData folder there.

    Thank you so much! I was pasting my backed up UserData folder in the file path: Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims Legacy Collection which was incorrect. My back up from The Sims Complete Collection now loads up on The Sims Legacy Collection. Thank you :)
