Can 2 players with different copies of sims4 play on 1 computer?

I hope someone can answer this. My laptop is dying, my mom has a fairly new one. We can't afford a new one for me right now. She has her own version of sims 4. I was able to switch users with Origin and now have access to both games. But they are now both blank, all the saved games are missing.
Can we both play on this one computer with 2 different versions of the game, or do I need to set up a separate login on her computer to have access to my own game without messing up hers?
I may be able to get my saved games back from my old computer.

I daresay it is something you could do as long as you used your own origin accounts and were careful only to access your own saves💕
I would still recommend separate PC accounts so you do not have to worry about stepping on each others' local data. One accidentally deleted save could be avoided that way. The Origin accounts are tied to the online stuff only, so you would still see your mother's saves and stuff on her PC account.
Another reason I recommend separate PC accounts is because you can have semi separate installs in case you have different packs. I am not sure how those packs would work while swapping online log ins. Also, mods. Not sure if you play with them, but I personally would not let anyone clutter my personal files with mods. It is just better to have your own PC account on the laptop for that.
Then you can set up everything how you like it yourself - the desktop, what shortcuts you want showing, your own Origin log in and your own game saves.
It would almost be like having separate computers, except you both can't use it at the same time
But make sure to copy your game folder over before your lappy completely dies and you lose it all.

On same computer yes as long as two different steam accounts, you can share games with family with friends I think.
Hold SHIFT while using the FRIEZE tool to apply it to a single wall, and not an entire room!

After reading all the suggestions you guys have presented I think the best bet for me is to set up a different user on the computer itself. That way I can have all my photos (over 6 gig worth
We will share Word under her username because I don't want to pay for it for both of us right now. But I'll keep all my Word and Excel files in my own folder in her computer. All those files are currently backed up in Dropbox. {I'm typing all these plans out because I need a clear plan in my own mind.}
I do have my game files on a flash drive, and my old computer is still working so I can grab anything else I may have missed. It appears that my mothers game saves are lost, they were overwritten when I moved files into her computer but she doesn't mind. I mind, because I've been playing on her computer for over a month using her game (in a separate save/world). Live and learn as they say, this is a good reminder to upload my families to the online gallery as soon as I create them, and to make saves on my USB more often. Very embarrassing - I never made a save from her computer even though I know better. I don't know what I was thinking!
