Origin - Home page, game library, my profile not loading
I recently installed the Sims 3 with the disc version - just three days back. But i let it install in my C drive, which was almost full. Soon after playing two or three times I realized that I need to shift it from the C drive to my E drive, which had lots of space. I shifted the Electronic Arts folder, Origin and Origin games from Program Files (86x) into this drive. But unfortunately, Origin did not recognize it and started downloading the Sims 3 digitally. But it had created a new Program Files (86x) folder in the E drive and a new Origin Games subfolder in this. I merged the previous Origin Games folder with the new, empty one, which stopped the download overall. Now, Origin doesn't even load properly after launching. After signing in, it just sends me to the home page, and i cannot see my profile, nor my game library and a whole lot of other stuff. It sort of looks like the picture attached with this.
What can i do to solve this? Thanks!
@NidhiBaliga Program files can't be shifted manually from one drive to another; they have to be uninstalled and reinstalled. For TS3, you'll need to clean the registry before reinstalling, either manually or with a tool like Piriform's CCleaner.

If your installation process is tied to Origin, it's probably better that you install directly through Origin, rather than from your discs. Origin and disc installs are supposed to work together, but they don't always, especially if you later buy digital copies of packs.
You'll also need to redirect your Documents folder to E. TS3 will look for its game folder in Documents no matter where you put the Electronic Arts folder; if the game doesn't find its folder, it will create a new one from scratch, so your saves and the rest of your content in your existing folder won't load the next time you launch the game.
For the Origin error, once you've uninstalled TS3, you can clear Origin's cache. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling Origin itself ("the hard way").
