    @klkryu  There are two Sims 4 folders on any computer where the game has loaded at least once.  One contains the game's program files, which you can choose to install anywhere.  The other contains the user data: saves, Tray files, mods, etc.  This folder will always be in Documents > Electronic Arts regardless of where you've installed the program files.

    I'm not clear about what you deleted and what you backed up.  If your backup contains saves, you simply need to put those saves in the folder Sims 4 is actually reading.  Here's how to find it:

    You can also search your computer for Slot_ , which is at the beginning of every save name.  If you find any saves, you might also find Tray files or other user data you'd like to preserve.
