Alduin818 The point is to test first with none of your existing content, including saves. Now that you've established that the game works with no previous content, you can move your saves from the Sims 4 folder you moved into the new one. Saves go in th saves folder, natually, and cannot be in a subfolder.
If you have any mods or custom content you'd like to keep using, test those files first to make sure they don't break the game.
In addition to saves, you can transfer the contents of the Tray folder, which contains files for saved households and builds; plus Screenshots and Recorded Videos if you care about those.
i copied the saves folder and the tray folder from the old to the new one and it still won't show my previous saves. idk if it messes anything up, but for whatever reason when i was playing the new household in live mode, i exited without saving but it saved the new household somehow??
ok i figured out the issue, the issue is that the data isn't linked or backed up to my actual ea account (which is stupid, why would it not be) when my fiancé uninstalled and reinstalled the game it deleted everything. over 100 hours in 2 weeks of progress. all gone.
but now i have a different issue – my mods aren't showing up at all. they worked fine before but now they aren't. the files didn't change at all, they're all in the right folder, but they aren't showing up when i launch the game (and yes i have cc on in the settings)
Trying this out now! So far so good, will try putting my MCCC mods later on.
