You can also edit decrapified content installed through the launcher by opening up the DCCache DBC files with s3pe. It's only non-decrapified store content in EBC files that can't be edited directly. I also do this to get rid of the over-large thumbnails for decrapified content so the game generates new ones.
Noromarc:
Creating a .package file from a non-decrappified but compressorized .sims3pack puts a clone of the original in the catalog, and both work. However, the animation is incongruent with the phone device itself because the sim presses buttons on the receiver as if it were a regular cordless phone, when it should dial them on the base of the device instead. Does anyone have the correct animation working?

You actually think Eaxis would have made a custom animation for this? Don't hold your breathe.

I am recently migrating from a collection of "Store Packs" I got in several Bit Torrents, that I received no info about other than the dates (May 2010 Update), etc. Thus, I do not know if they have been de-crappified or whatever. Most Are packages, with the exception of a few, and those simpacks installed fine.
However, I discovered this section of the forum, while investigating the Awesome Mod. I was impressed by what I saw, and realized incorporating a Bunch of packages I know next to nothing about could cause serious problems for my game. Although Sims 3 front-end from MTS, or something like that, indicated no conflicts.
I, for clarity, should point out that I also have quite a bit of store content that I purchased, and I am concerned that the store collection packages will conflict with the items I have purchased and installed already.
So, now comes the question portion of this post - now that I have explained the situation more or less.
I spent the morning and downloaded 2 different Sets of Store Item Collections - The Panama Crew's and Moyrie's (Spelling). I obviously would like the set I go with to be complete as possible, etc. The PCP collection sounds like it has everything, and is setup in a similar way to what I have already. But, Moyrie's sounds like she has gone though and fixed some things like certain clothing and hair that were having issues, and is broken into larger but more organized chunks.
So, my question to those of you who have not fallen asleep at the keyboard due to the length of my post, is which collection should I choose? ( Yeah I know - but I was hoping maybe some of you have experience with one or the other and had a opinion about them based on it) Shortyboo, for example , I know uses packages for her store content, which do you use? I think you get the idea on this point.
Secondly, since I will be removing my old package files from my mods/packages folder and replacing them, do I need to delete any index files or what have you? I know that I had a lot of duplicate items and thumbnails in buy mode using the packages I have and my own purchased content.
Lastly, and I know I have already brought it up, will my purchased content like Barnacle Bay, Ultralounge Compilation, Mediterranean Set, etc. cause complications if the items are also in package form? (Thus effectively installed twice)
Spork away, Call me a "no searching" butthead, or whatever works around here. But for what it is worth I have read well over 250 pages of search results and other posts on this forum, and spent the entire day trying to register to post, being constantly denied and called a Bran muffin, all because I use Gmail - which implies I am a spammer (Obviously), and truly need to know the answers to my inquiries. Since two of the sources of my new content post here and discussing pirating EA store content is probably not going to be well received anywhere else, I decided to face to flames and hope for a reply that answers my questions.
Thank you for the content and for taking the time to read and hopefully reply,
