If I put my sims 4 save data on a usb stick how do I get it back on another PC?

So I was going to backup my sims 4 save on a usb stick by copying and pasting it to my usb so how do I get my save back when I transfer it to a new PC? Do I overwrite a folder within the ea folder or...

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?

        Oh yeah? Interesting so here's something interesting so you aren't gonna believe this but it seems that my sims 4 folder actually updated with my current save and everything from my last PC I don't even recall syncing it to OneDrive in anyway either I'm lucky or it knows me well 🤣 although I'm thinking I must have at some point oh and thanks for the help. I appreciate it 😁
