    Should be ok. When I moved my old game to my new computer, I just copied my save folder, my mod folder, my tray folder and screenshots to a usb drive, though. It’s all there if I want to install it again.
  • Depends on how much space you have there and want to carry over. When I changed computers I just got an external hard drive and backed up my files for everything I would need on my new pc including game files. Which made it simpler to copy them off the disk onto the new pc. Just be careful when installing it either way, or you might end up with really long file names/ added stuff in the name. But it's good to have in case there's an issue when you carry your saves over. Or afterwards, bc you still have everything.
  • I find memory sticks neat for file transfers and storage just copy your whole sims 4 folder on memory stick and add files of choice to your new sims folder when needed

    much easier and faster than cloud to me and at least for now computers still have usb ports

    then again if you are dead set on cloud then yeah it should be there on your acc regardless of device you are accessing the account from

    Like others are saying - You can buy a cheap usb drive and copy your Saves/Mods folder to it and that would probably be the easiest way to transfer everything over.
  • I just used a Flash thumb drive to transfer my game to the new computer, too. They hold quite a bit, are dirt cheap these days, too. Not a hassle. Congratulations are getting a new rig.
