OneDrive to internal SSD

Unfortunately, my game had been saving to OneDrive and I reached my storage limit, so I moved my install from OneDrive to my internal SSD on my PC via the game’s “Installed files” settings on Steam. I lost all my saves and mods (I do have them backed up on a thumb drive) and cannot figure out how to put them back, as there is no longer an Electronic Arts folder anywhere on my SSD. The file location for Sims 4 is now located under Program Files (x86) —> Steam —> steamapps —> common —> The Sims 4. I tried adding an Electronic Arts folder to the SSD under the User —> User Name —> Documents folder, and placing my saves and mods in there and nothing changed. Also, I cannot fully delete OneDrive from my PC (I have two OneDrive accounts on the PC: one for me and one for my partner. The Sims 4 was saved on my partner’s) because I use it for work, but I did log out of my partner’s OneDrive on the PC and stopped it from syncing. How do I get my Documents->ElectronicArts folder back and restore my saves and mods? If it’s not possible to restore my saves and mods folder, then how do I add mods to the game where it is now?
