Sims 3 installation with Sims 4

[WarriorWhimsy]

I recently got Sims 3 as well as a few of its expansions, but I also have Sims 4. I was wondering how I install them without deleting my Sims 4 Electronic Arts folder, since I know from experience that they have the same folder name (Electronic Arts). Could I maybe rename the Sims 4 folder, or will that mess up my game? Will I have to choose only one?

I've backed it up, so I'm open for suggestions!

I have both Sims 4 and Sims 3 installed, and from experience, you don't need to do anything to the folder. the Sims 3 folder will get created inside the Electronic Arts folder without removing or doing anything to the Sims 4 folder in there (and vice versa). they will both exist nicely.
