Households and cc gone!! please help :(

Hello, i tried to download some more cc earlier but my onedrive storage was full (i had no idea my files were bing uploaded to onedrive, really annoying) and i have tons of storage on my pc so i followed a youtube tutorial on how to transfer my files from onedrive to general pc storage. I loaded the game afterward and my saved household was gone, along with my downloaded cc. When i clicked 'browse local files' of the sims 4 on steam, the game was located under Program files 86x > Steam > Steamapps > Common > The sims 4

All my files were there, but half of my mods were gone (they were all single files) and there was also some numbered files i had never seen before. I hadn't downloaded anything, i had just deleted onedrive, moved some things around and used my registry editor to change some locations. I moved my Electronic Arts folder around a lot, as well as copying it and deleting it, so i probably messed something up. My cc looks to still be in the mods folder correctly but it isnt working

At the moment I have deleted the sims 4, as well as all of its files on my pc (i made a copy of my mods), and i am now redownloading it.

I've tried so many different things and im practically begging for help, i dont reeally care if i have to redownload all my cc, i just really want my household back - i only have one and ive spent days on it

If anyone needs any screenshots please lmk!!

  • xenyie​  Let's make sure you didn't inadvertently break anything with the settings and registry changes.  Please open Sims 4 and find the location of the folder the game is reading, as described here:

    https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

    If it's still in OneDrive, or anywhere you don't want it to be, stop here and let me know.

    Otherwise, place your mods and custom content inside that Sims 4 folder.  The one in the Steam folder is for the game's program files, not user data.
