Re: Sims 4 on a different computer

@caramans21 Your packs are owned by the account that bought them, not the computer. So you'll be able to sign into that same account on your laptop and install all your expansions.

If you want to transfer saves or other user-generated content, you'll need to do so manually. All the user data is stored in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, and you can copy the contents of saves, Tray, and Mods to your new laptop. The other files are mostly extraneous and will regenerate as necessary, but you might want to move Screenshots over as well.

Hi. My PS5 Sims 4 stopped working so I’m trying to transfer it to my HP laptop. How do I transfer save data from console to laptop?

@TheGrimRhiper You can't, sorry. Saves can be transferred between Windows and macOS but not between computer and console. The best you could do is save your sims and lots to the Gallery, then download them onto your laptop.

Please also keep in mind that any packs you own for Playstation won't be available on PC. You'd need to buy them again.
