Thanks. I saw other people in this thread making requests, so I thought no one would mind if I did too. I'm not demanding anything. If you don't have the files or don't want to share them with me for whatever reason, fine.
For the record, I did try to solve my own problem, but this time I didn't manage to. I tried to find files that worked, but couldn't. Then I tried to find current information on how to clean them on a Mac, but only found instructions for people who have a second machine running Windows. If the information is there I haven't found it yet.
I'm skeptical that you looked very hard. If you had bothered to search, you would know that Pescado has stated more than once that decrapified files should not be shared, so no, you won't be able to find them. The answer is to decrapify them yourself. Google DOS emulator for mac and go from there.
Edited due to my inability to type.

I believe there's no proper workaround for macs when it comes to decrapifying. Sharing the already decrapped files has is only a partial solution, as the files seem to bork somewhere between computers and the internets. I'm using a mini laptop with XP to decrap my files, it's a bit slow but does the trick. The other option is Boot Camp.
Dos emulators could work, but looks like no-one has really looked into it.

As it would require far less resources than emulating Windows, one would think it would be a better solution.
Alternately, someone could ask Pescado for the source code to S3RC/Decrapify or use the existing source code for Peter Jones' S3SU that extracts packages to compile a utility that either decrapifies on Mac or extracts Sims3Pack to package on Mac.
Pescado even says in his post for the SR3/Decrapify utilty:
Quote from: J. M. Pescado on 2009 June 02, 19:02:26
Presently available in Windoze edition, until the designated Mac tester can figure out how to compile it for Mac.
And that was over a year ago.
I guess I don't understand the mentality. I would rather be resourceful than to have to ask people to do things for me and then have to keep coming back and doing it every time a new set it released.

As far as I know, JFade's 3Viewer still works for extracting sims3packs to packages on a mac, but it doesn't decrapify or compressorize.
As happy as I am with my mac, we're a minority in the Sims community, and it's ridiculous to expect other people to constantly cater to your own personal needs. There isn't a perfect solution, but since the majority of Sims users are on Windows, you just have to work around it.

If one of you stupid Mac fools would GIVE ME SHELL on a Mac, I would make you a damn Mac tool. But since NONE OF YOU CAN BE BOTHERED, y'all can suck it.
