Okay, update. So I tried clearing the cache and then moving the folder again and I was successful. I can now open the game and I played a little and it seems to be working.
What should my next step be?
Is there a way I can transfer things like my save data/households?
(Thank you for your help btw. I greatly appreciate it)
@ppdestroyer42069 Yes, you can certainly move your saves (in the saves folder) and saved households and builds (in Tray) to the new Sims 4 folder. Here's a description of everything else in the user folder, so you know what you'd want to keep:

It's best to only move what you need and leave behind anything that the game will regenerate when necessary.
If you move over some files and you find you can't play again, stop there and let me know which files caused the issue as well as any error you see.
