  Hello.
  The save games folder etc don't go in to the program files folder
  
  Run the sims 4 game to generate a new sims 4 folder.
  
  Then, go to Documents-Electronic Arts-Sims 4 folder.
  
  Then place the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from your backup, into the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated folders with the old backup folders.
  
  ( you may not have saved the "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folder in your backup, but if you did back them up, you can place them into the new sims 4 folder )

  Sadly, that did not work. I went into
  -Documents
  -Electronic Arts
  
  and I copy and paste my all of my Files into this folder. Restarted the game and unfortunately, it still doesn't load my saved data. The last time I reloaded my saved data I do not remember doing anything on my (C:) drive. I installed my game on an external hard drive (J:) for the added space.

  Did you have a sims 4 folder in Documehts-Electronic Arts? Did you replace the new sims 4 folder with your whole sims 4 back up folder ?

  The Sims 4 gameplay files and folders go in this folder:
  
  Documents
  - Electronic Arts
  - - The Sims 4
  
  The cleanest way to make this work is to start the game, then exit the game. This makes the game create the Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, and its files and subfolders. You can now copy these folders to replace the ones the game just made:
  
  - Saves
  - Tray
  - Screenshots
  - Mods
  - Custom Music
  
  You might also want to replace the Options.ini file with your old one.

  Can you make sure when you started the game and got the fresh TS4 folder, you go into it and then into the Saves folder, and then paste the individual save files (replace any if there is a prompt)? Don't paste the whole saves folder cuz that might not work sometimes.

  "Success!" (In my Oprah voice)
  
  I uninstalled/reinstalled all over again. Started the game like suggested, jumped out and found the Electronic Arts folder.
  
  Copied and paste all I the files I wanted (most importantly the Saves Folder) and restarted the game.
  
  Voila'. Mischief Managed. Thank you everyone. You guys are the best!
