You copy the Saves Folder to the same location. If there are saves there you want to preserve make sure they do not have the same names.

    Sure insert the USB stick you saved the Saves folder to. Open the Sims 4 folder. Drag the Saves folder to it.

      So essentially overwrite the existing save folder in the sims 4 folder right?

        Actually it merges the two folders.
