@lilly_season Your content is all intact in the folder you moved, and you can restore it as soon as you've installed your Store content. Saves are in the Saves folder, saved households and builds (yours or those you downloaded) in Library, saved sim CAS templates in SavedSims, and mods and .package-based custom content in Mods. Launcher-installed custom content is in files that end in .dbc inside DCCache, but make sure not to transfer the .ebc files, which are bundled Store content: the point here is to install all of that from scratch.
For a complete dscription of the contents of the user folder, please read this:
I´m sorry but I don´t really understand. I did as you said with the launching on the desktop and the chicken coop did show up in the game, now what do I do?
(I have restored everything)
@lilly_season The idea here was to start with a clean user folder, as you did when you moved the old Sims 3 folder to the desktop; install all of your Store content into the new folder, as you hopefully have by now; and move your other content (saves, mods, custom content, etc.) from the old Sims 3 folder to the new one. If you've done everything and all your content is showing in-game, there's nothing left to do except play.
If you're stuck on any of these steps, or some content isn't loading, please let me know what the problem is.
It worked until I put all my files back into the New The Sims 3 file ;(
@lilly_season Then the problem is one or more of the files you put back. If you take out all that extra content, does the chicken coop work again? If not, you'll need to start over with another new user folder, and this time, don't put everything back at once. Instead, test it a little at a time.
If you get a notification about duplicate files, where you're asked if you want to keep the old one or the new one, cancel the move—you don't want to overwrite a good newer file with an older one that might not work. Feel free to ask for more guidance if you're not sure what to do about the duplicates.
If you figure out what file or folder is causing the chicken coop not to load, but you want to keep that content, let me know what it is and we can try to get around the issue or add back the content another way.
