Justthatonekidd You said you couldn't open the game, but now it's loading and your saves and other user files aren't present? If that's the case, you need to either move the content to the folder the game is reading, or create a symbolic link to redirect the game. Here's how to find the folder it's reading:

Thank you so much, I’m now at the point where I can play my game and am able to have all of my mods/cc and saves back, the issue now, however, is that it seems everything is moved to my Hardrive but whenever I start the game, EA adds a new sims 4 file in my Documents folder, so while everything was switched to the hard drive and I’m able to play, it seems as if some files are still localized on my computer that are needed for gameplay. It seems all my saves and another version of the game are on the hardrive, and the actual playable game file is in my Documents. Would I still have to do the symlink?
