How to Backup Happy Login and Other Events?

Hi, I'm on the verge of uninstalling the Sims 4 and re-installing it (I have had nothing but issues lately and I feel an uninstall will do a world of good right now, until I can afford a new computer). It usually runs pretty well, but it's just been nothing but crashing in the last 3 weeks. 

I want to save my Happy Home Login, Grim Reaper Rewards and the most recent Holiday rewards. 

I read a thread recommended saving the UserSetting.ini folder but I don't have that folder? See below screenshot of my Sims 4 folder. 

I did remove the usersettings (labelled simply that) to my desktop to try to see if that was the right document, started the Sims but my rewards were still showing up. So I don't think that was the correct document. 

Any help is appreciated!

    @HugaMufasa  The .ini extension isn't showing because you've set File Explorer not to show file extensions.  And it is supposed to be a file, not a folder.

    Having said that, this file doesn't hold any login rewards data anymore.  Interim progress you've made on sets of tasks is held in accountDataDB.package.  Once you've completed a set of tasks (and the game has a connection), your progress is synced with EA servers and is no longer dependent on your user files.  (By set of tasks, I don't mean the entire event, just the two weekly sets that show as in progress or completed when you're viewing your login rewards.)  So there aren't any files for you to back up; you should see your data on any computer as long as you're signed into the same EA account.
