Make sure you clear caches as well. I had some trouble with cc last week, I tried all sorts of combos like yourself, don't know what fixed it in the end, but clearing caches won't hurt.

That's quite peculiar. Do they work for ANYONE? It's possible the game is stripping them at the time the lot is packaged.

I decrapified and all my sims3packs have turned to CRAP! Just about everything has failed to install claiming that I need to have the latest software update.  |

With Generations installed, the game seem to have problems reading compressed files. According to process monitor, it reads each file about 50,000 times; sometimes more. Decompressing using s3rc.exe doesn't solve it, I had to open the package files and re-save them using s3pe to fix them.

With Generations installed?! On May 29th? I thought it releases May 30th. |

So I have an issue and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I downloaded the Bayside Full Set (untouched), decrapified it and installed it but none of its content showed in-game. The launcher shows that it installed correctly but that meant nothing. I unpacked the set from .rar again and ran it through S3RC and then decrapified it but the original problem continues to persist. Any advice?

Other than you're doing something wrong? Try redownloading the file and make sure you have all the latest files for decrapping, also make sure you actually tick the decrap button. |

I was using the decrapify.exe where I just had to drag and drop the file, it worked on all the latest store content but I'll try out the other method you touched on. Thanks. |

So nobody else has this problem? I might need to try recompressing them but I really don't feel like opening them one by one and re-save them again if this problem occured again. |

Hello! I'm having some trouble, so I'm hoping someone could help. I've looked through the whole thread, but I apologise if I've missed anything.
I used the s3rc on all my .packages. When I started the Sims 3, it froze at the black loadup screen, even before all the pre-title things came up. So I also ran my save games through s3rc, though luckily I made back ups. So the game still would not start. I tried starting again and the same thing happened. I did what semianon said, but to no avail. Even with my backup games and no cc, the game still won't start.
Does anyone know what I can do to unbork my game?
EDIT: Well, I tried removing all the cc again and it works now. But is there anyway to fix me cc, or will I have to redownload it all?

After decrapifying one of my trial save games, the hair I was using on one of my sims disappeared, the hair was not from the store and was installed via a merged package in the mods folder. Does this file have to be decrappified to show back up in the game?
I should also mention that said hair does show up in CAS but when I loaded up the family, the sim with the aforementioned hair had it replaced with something from the base game.

That worked, thank you for the advice. However, my game now runs slower than before. C'est la vie, I suppose. |

Is decrapifying only for store content or should it be applied to all .sims3packs? I've been under the impression it was only for store content but if I'm wrong please correct me. Along with that, I would like to know if having decrapified content and crapified content would cause any decrease in performance.

If your content is not crapified, running it through Decrapify has no effect on it and THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING.

I case no one has brought this to your attention already. The new Spellbook store item will break after being decrapified. Any sim will reset instantly upon interacting with the object. The File posted here by Simon fixes the issue, as long as the fix isn't decrapified also. |

There's no apparent reason why this fix should work, since its files are completely identical to the original's corresponding files.

The only difference being the group ID which is changed from 0x01000000 to 0x00000000 when decrapified. Decrapifying the original or decrapifying the fix results in broken (resets sim) object. Adding the non-decrapified fix will stop that. So could the script for the object be referencing the group ID on those "unknown" files for some reason? |

Turns out that group is referenced inside the scriptcode. I have built a compensator into AwesomeMod for it.

There is no Mac-native version, because no one wishes to provide me with a Mac to compile on, but both Windoze and Linux versions are available, and will run just fine in any emulator.

I am looking forward to this ESL with absolutely no search skills trying to pass on secondhand instructions to his friend. I hope he attempts to decrapify at night so I can see the fireball from my house.

I think I may be over-thinking this. Could someone please confirm or deny whether I have things straight?:
- Compressing (recompressing?) and decrapifying are two separate functions. You can compress files without also decrapifying them, and you can decrapify them without also compressing them.
- Compressing files is non-destructive. Decrapifying them is destructive, and requires you to decrapify your save files, too, in order for things to work properly.
