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.
I've never had to decrap any of my saves. I believe that is only needed if you change the format of your pirated CC mid game. everything else you have seems right. I only ever decrap, I don't see the need to compress stuff.

I was hoping that Pescado would answer this one since I still have some doubts. I can confirm, based on my experience, only the following:

I compress (but do not decrapify) because I do not want to use the Launcher and I convert all store sims3packs to packages that I merge afterwards.
socurious:
I thought it was redundant to compress prior to merging files since they are compressed in s3pc.
MegAnne:
I still did not figure out how to inspect/view packages in s3pe if they weren't previously "compressorized"/"dragged into s3rc"

You can't open store content without doing that first.
On another note, the whole decrapping the lot to get your pirated CC to show up does work now. I do have a question though, I downloaded this lot, and upon decrapping it, it no longer wants to install, via the launcher. I keep getting the update your game error. Would anyone happen to know of a reason why this is happening? Just for clarification I have all EP/SP's, game's fully patched, I use decrapped sims3packs, my s3rc and decrap files are updated and it was decrapped properly, the time stamp changed on the file.
