The definitive EA Store Set & Guide?

Just to be sure, did you:
1) tick the 'decrapify' box in the compressorizer?
2) delete the contents of the DCCache folder before attempting to install the decrapified files?
See, now these are exactly the type of things that need to be in a "for dummies" guide! I knew we must have been missing someting. Thanks, btw.
Tangie:
Don't you also have to compress your saved games if you compress content you've already used in-game? I have not bothered with either decrapify or compression, although I vaguely remember that Pecado said (last Feb.?) that compression was sort of obsolete. I guess someone more awesome than I will have to jump in here to answer that. JFade also has some info posted on his website about it, or check the thread where you download the program here at Maty, as you will probably find some info about it there that might help (assuming you haven't read that whole thread already, of course).
J. M. Pescado:
If you decrapify your store content, you also have to decrapify your saved games if those saved games were using said content, as well as any new lots or sims you receive that may be using undecrapified stuff.
Tangie:
I may or may not have decrapified store content, but it's likely that I do. I also have never decrapified my saved games. If this causes an issue, will I know it if I see it? So far I have not noticed any problems at all.
Gastfyr:
I've decrapified everything (files, saves, sims, lots, etc) and the issue I'm still having is the store stuff stiill refusing to install. It claims to install but even in the laucher it doens't show as installed (it just gives the "success" message, but it doesn't show up in "installed conetent or have that icon that meas it's already installed on the tab where you instal stuff).
I know I've accedentally decrapified the same files more than once several times. Btwn my husband and me, we may even have recompressorized the same files more than once. I'm thinking this might be part of the problem, as in ts2 anyway it was a bad thing to recompressorize files more than once. So I'm thinking what I'll try next is downloaing fresh untampered with files and starting from scratch.
The recompressorizor we're using that we downloaded from this site appears to work in a drag and drop method. I understand there is a DOS way to use it as well, but I'll leave that to my husband as I have never really used DOS myself (just for a bit in grade 8 and 9 and after that it was widows). I don't know which method is "better," but Pes said in the thread where we downloaded it that the drag and drop method was there for the TARDS which I guess includes me. :P
This time I want to do it right so it actaully works. Is it recomened to decrapifiy all sims3.pac files before even attempting to install them? Or should I try installing first to see if it needs to be decrapified? I gather from this thead that it is a good idea to disconnect from the internet before attempting to install sims3.pac files. So then once I disconnect from the internet and attempt to install my files, I need to recompressorize any decrapified files that still won't install. Do I use a new unmodified version of the sims3.pac and recompressorize that, or do I recompressorize the file that has already been decrapified? Once a file has been recompressorized, if it still won't install, what is the recomended procedure at that point?
