Decrapify vs. manual .dbc files?
Capitaine Marie:
When I try to install the arr'ed content, all the packages show in the DCBackup folder. But the .dbc file is only 1 kb. Urrgh. Maybe I'll start from scratch tomorrow.

This is the problem with online tech support. If you could just give me your computer I could solve this in a second. :D
:D

ETA: Yes, it freezes for a couple seconds as it reads all the packages (since there are over 200 in there) but after that it works flawlessly. I don't see a couple seconds as that big of an inconvenience. If you do, too bad.
Two things happened, missing thumbnails and then it was several minutes of freezing.

Not that I know of, I just have mine in downloads but I move it around depending on where I need it. I'm not sure why it's not working for you. This is the problem with online tech support. If you could just give me your computer I could solve this in a second. :D
That's why they invented "remote assistance". This way you can leave your "helpee" feeling both incompetent and VIOLATED.

Well, Pes, at least you didn't say I was doing it wrong. Or poke me with a sharp stick. Yet. ;D

Well, I must be doing something wrong, too: I can't get the launcher to install them at all. I dragged and dropped the files over the decrapify.exe, then the s3rc.exe, and vice versa. No dice. Does the Recompressor need to be installed in a particular folder?
I've found drag & drop won't work if I leave the .sims3pack in my Downloads folder. I put s3rc.exe and decrapify.exe on my desktop, then copy all the .sims3pack to my desktop, drag and drop onto decrapify.exe, then move them back to my Downloads folder. You can verify if the decrapification actually took place by looking at the Modified Date. It should be pretty close to current date and time.
For some reason, a few specific Store hairs intermittently drop out leaving some sims bald. I've tried recompressorizing and even re-downloading them from different sources to no avail. A few specific examples are afhaircandylong and amhairshaggy. The only solution I've found to get those Store hairs working reliably 100% of the time is to point Resource.cfg to the .dbc file in my DCCache folder. That loads it as a regular package file which has the drawback of longer initial game loading and Store items don't have the special icon on the thumbnail, but better that than intermittently bald sims. It has nothing to do with decrapify because those same hairs intermittently dropped out on 1.7/2.2 as well.
