Restoring sims files from desktop

2 days ago I copy and pasted my whole sims 4 folder to my pc incase something would happen and it did, I have all the trays, mods, and saves but I'm unsure how to reinstall them back into my game now.

Any advice would be super helpful!

  • LoneFox113​  The files need to be in the Sims 4 folder the game is currently reading.  Here's how to find it:

    If you put the files in that exact folder (the entire file paths match up to "The Sims 4"), and your saves don't load, please post a screenshot of the contents of the saves folder itself, as in, I'd like to see the file names and dates.

    I also notice that OneDrive is syncing your data.  If you'd like to stop this, let me know.
