my cc is missing? Help?!

Ok so my sims updated and I had lost my saves and cc, but I then uninstalled the game, installed it again, and ended up finding my new sims folder in such a stupid way I nearly cried.

so, I couldn’t find it at all at first, did every trick people suggested I was ready to spin around three times to see if that’d do it.

but now, I got it installed, then out of boredom I went to my EA account on my pc, went to change my profile pic, and there, I saw it, the FOLDER, the NEW folder. 

My laptop is too * to do automatic file deletes so I marked my old sims folder “Old one” and checked like five times that I wasn’t getting fooled over the new one. But it works, I just transferred me cc from my old file to the new one and it WORKS? Like??? IM SO CONFUSED?!
