Hi everyone!
I just got a new computer after mine broke down, and I immediately downloaded The Sims, lol
Anyways.. I thought if you logged back into your Origin account, all of your game files would be saved?
Guess not......
we way too young to get old

Your save games and the creations that you have in your library are in the saves and trays folders that are in your sims 4 folder on your old computer.
If you can still launch your old computer, make a copy of your sims 4 folder on your old computer that is in Documents > Electronic Arts > ( then The Sims 4 folder is there ) and place it on an external drive.
Then, play the Sims 4 game on your new computer once to generate a new sims 4 folder.
In your sims 4 folder are your saves folder ( contains your save games) and the tray folder ( which contains your lots and households that you have uploaded to your library or have downloaded from the community gallery ) Replace the saves, tray, mods, custom music and screenshots folders that are in the new sims 4 folder with the same folders that are in the sims 4 folder on your external drive. You will then have your old save games and creations etc on your new computer.

If you still have access to your old computer, you can back up those files to a thumb drive or external hard drive to add to your new computer.
You will need to copy your Saves and Tray folder as the basics. If you've saved screen shots and added mods, you will need to back up your Screenshots and Mods folders as well. I can't remember if there's a Video folder as well, but if there is and it's something you used, you will want to copy that on over too.
Maybe you could use the hard disk at new computer as a secundary disk
Then copy folders from D to C
(maybe must change D with the letter assigned to old hard drive)
Depends on her computer. Worst case scenario (assuming her hard drive is still good and she doesn't know much about computers, or her new computer only allows space for 1 hard drive which is very common): She'd have to buy an empty external hard drive enclosure, pull the hard drive from the old computer and add it to the new empty enclosure. Then she'd have to plug it in and go from there. I'm just hoping she meant 'broke' in the most simplistic of terms most non tech-savvy people use it in. Meaning, her old computer is still accessible, albeit, painfully so.
You mean laptop? desktop have space at least for 3 disk
Could you link it?
I take it you haven't done much shopping. Many desktops (at cheapest level) don't allow much room (if any at all) for expansion.
It really depends on the case; some cheap off-the-shelf cases can have enough room for expansion.
Building your own or going with a custom retailer is a much better choice than off-the-shelf.
Notifying...

Oh. Wait. Don't bother answering. I won't know the answer unless someone else quotes you!
Nope.
As for the last sentence...

It's the new MacBook. http://www.apple.com/macbook/
When I say 'broke' I mean the mouse is dysfunctional and cannot click on anything properly, and the keyboard doesn't type the correct keys. Is that enough info?
It has no type of cooling (no fan); you can risk damaging the Macbook since gaming will need proper cooling to it.
Have you tried connecting a external keyboard and mouse?

Look at either Cooler Master, Thermaltake, or Zalman cooling pads.
You see... a laptoop. Is what I meant also @Colton147147 afirm and help me. Desktop here have for 3 or 4 disk. And right, is much better (and cheaper) custom made or made by a local pc vendor
EDIT; Just read than old laptop works (but no keyboard and mouse)
Get an USB Keyboard, copy Doocuments \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 4 folder to an external drive (here at Argentinawe call them pendrive, I guess you figure what I mean), and copy to same location at new laptop
@Colton147147 You are one of the nicest people on this board. I was annoyed with you at first thanks to your "You can do anything your heart desires with Sims 4" posts, but I just take it as your sense of humor nowadays. I've yet to see you utter a disparaging remark towards anyone which is quite commendable.
Just because it doesn't have a fan doesn't mean it will damage the MacBook.
Can you use an external mouse and/or keyboard?
I had the mouse go on one of my old macbooks and I couldn't use an external one because the built-in mouse had a mind of its own, but if you can access yours fine with the external ones, I'd quickly go in and grab those files I mentioned earlier and save them to a thumb drive or external hard drive so you can put them on your new system. On the not-so-bright side, it cost me $80 at the Apple store to fix. Might be worth a shot for you to look into. Then you could at least pass it on to a family member or friend after you've gotten everything you need from it.
Best place to ask for Mac assistance is the mac section but they do not recommend gaming on a mac that has no cooling system
