Update #2: I've copied each of my folders back one by one and the game starts fine. I'm now adding back in the files from the main Sims 4 folder. I started with the files that were found in my old Sims 4 backup folder but not in my new Sims 4 folder and one of the following is causing the crash: lastException, ConnectionStatus, EAWebKitCookies, lastCrash_63568862297. There are also a few lastExcetion and lastUIException files with 11 digit numbers after the name. None of these files are dated with the date I last accessed the game normally EXCEPT the lastException file. It is dated with the date and time of the last time I played the game and then normally exited. Also, the clientDB.package file in my old Sims 4 backup folder is only 1KB whereas the same file in the new Sims 4 folder is 843KB. Any idea what these files do?

You don't need to add those back.
Put back your saves folder, your mods folder (one by one), your Tray folder and if you have screenshots, custom music or recorded videos those too.
That's about all you need. The rest is just cache stuff that recreates
This has an explanation what files are for what: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/user-files-explained/
That's a bit weird since those are just text files that give info about crashes but as long as it works, all good, right ?
