Re: Help: New laptop for the Sims 4
@Rori-chan22 You certainly can transfer the entire Sims 4 user folder if you want. I would however suggest transferring only the files you want to keep instead, for example the Tray files and not the whole Tray folder. And discard any files the game generates on its own, so you have fresh copies of everything.
The only exceptions are UserSetting.ini and/or accountDataDB.package, if you ever earned the first batch of login rewards. The data used to be stored in UserSetting, but after last week's patch, it was automatically transferred to accountDataDB. If you haven't played since then, just put back UserSetting and the game should transfer the data for you.
And just in case you don't already know (some people don't), please don't install Sims 4 itself (through the EA App) into Documents. Almost anywhere else is fine, including the default C:\Program Files\EA Games. It's best to keep the game's program files separate from the user data, which is always in Documents > Electronic Arts.
