@WoodySweetie Moving that Electronic Arts folder to the Documents folder for your current account wouldn't help: Sims 4 is looking for your user data in the other Documents folder and won't recognize it anywhere else. It's odd though that the game is using the folder of a different account. Have you taken steps to direct the contents of Documents in this account to the Documents folder in the other one, or to otherwise share across accounts?
If you haven't, or you're not sure, please open a File Explorer window, right-click on Documents, select Properties > Location, and post the file path you see. Again, you can write [username], but let me know whether it's pointing to this user account or the other one.
I tried moving the EA folder to my current documents folder and it fixed it. I moved my downloaded CC content into the EA folder and it went to my sims game. Maybe it was because the folder was still on my computer and in my account and I just couldn't see it cause it was hidden in a file that I couldn't see without purposely looking for it.

@WoodySweetie It's still strange that the game would say it's storing your content in a different user folder. But as long as everything works now, there's not much point in worrying about it.
