I think Pes means you should Decrapify your save games.  Try to decrapify all of the files in the save game folder.  I think Jfade's tool lets you do that.  This is just speculation since I haven't had much experience with Decrapification.


Yeah, I thought of that later.  I'm sure I read that in the Recompressor thread, too.  Had a blond moment, lol.

ETA:  Read moar in the Recompressor thread about decrapifying skins, but I'm still unclear about hacks.


I would like to know too. I'm also supposing we CAN decrapify skins, right?

Electronic Sim:
That's not what I meant.

Like the tiki set, I believe the sofa and chair include a pattern or two with them. Without decrapifying it, if you package them the pattern would appear in fabric, but also will generate blank spots (that are not patterns, at least they're non-responsive). As far as I'm aware, they don't interfere with anything, but are aesthetically annoying for me.

Well, let's try it, then. After all, I seem to need my store crap to furnish my houses.

Decrapifying skins, hacks, and other unorthodox CC that is not standard objects, clothes, and whatnot is harmless, but produces no useful effect.

Good to know.

jeromycraig, could you explain to me what you did to make it work?

Really, I just followed instructions.  It said in the original post that s3rc.exe and decrapify.exe have to be accessible on the same filepath, so I just put them together in a folder with my sims3pack files and dragged the sims3packs onto "decrapify" (you know it worked if your "modified" date changes) and then moved the decrapified sims3packs into my Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Downloads folder.  Then I just installed them with the launcher.

Afterwards, I followed instructions about decrapifying the files in my saved game and library and when I booted up, all of my Arr'd store content was there.  Some of the in-use items were replaced, but it was pretty simple to change them back to their store versions.  ALL of my Store content is in the game, usable, AND marked with the "custom" symbol.  My load time is halved, and my counters no longer have the bug that makes them switch to non-recolorable defaults in corner mode, etc.
