@taylorjordan21 To be clear, you can transfer the contents of the Sims 3 user folder, in Documents > Electronic Arts, to the new computer. Your saves and saved households and builds should work fine, as should your mods and custom content. You may however need to reinstall your Store content from scratch—the way its encryption works doesn't always allow for the same files to be used on a new computer.
What you can't do is transfer the game's program files. You'll need to reinstall the game itself on the new computer, which shouldn't be a problem as long as your packs are registered wtih EA.
