game files on HD

I recently had to update my SSD for monster hunter and lost all my files. When I reinstalled the sims I didn't even think about it, I put it on my hard drive. My game files are all messed up. I didn't even notice until i tried to add back my save files and the folder wasn't even there, I'm not exactly sure what to do. Do I have to uninstall sims again and reinstall it on my SSD? Is there a way to have my game files on my HD because EA is of course on my SSD.
