Re: Default skin won't work in game
I did try redownloading the skin from online several times and it still didn't work. Could the actual game files been corrupted in some way on the move? If so, how would I avoid that in transferring them again?

@simsical-musical It's possible that other files were corrupted, yes. But it's probably easier to test the skin first. Try the skin in a clean game folder: move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, launch the game once to create a new folder, download the skin, and test it out.
OKAY! I followed your instructions with an entirely new folder and the skin worked. I guess it is my game files, so how would I go about transferring them hopefully without corrupting them? Originally I moved them through a flash drive.
@simsical-musical The flash drive should work, and it usually does. But you can just zip up your saves folder, upload it to any free filesharing site (Google Drive, Dropbox, Mediafire...), and download it on your new computer. It's best to transfer just the contents of saves and Tray, not the entire folder, as some cache files will be specific to the computer on which the game is running.
After lots of trial and error with the folders, I finally got it! Thank you so so so much for your help, you honestly have no idea how much fixing the game means to me!
