Decrapified Store content missing in downloaded lots

Decrapified content SHOULD work provided the lot is decrapified as well. However, if the lot doesn't actually contain the items anymore, then decrapifying cannot fix links to objects which no longer exist.
What sort of actions might cause the lot not to contain the items anymore?

All right, seems I'm always a little behind the curve. I JUST discovered this problem when I tried to install a sweet castle from MTS and all the banners got replaced by butterflies. I've tried installing via launcher, extracting the s3p to a .package file and plopping that in my Library, and doing both after decrapifying. I've cleared cache, and the store content is still not showing. I understand from my meager searchings that this is just something that happens and no one really knows why it doesn't work like it should.
I just wanted to see if anyone had figured out the proper combination of installation and decrapification to get the store content to shown in downloaded lots. If it's not just random EA craziness and I'm just screwed. That castle has a LOT of windows and furniture to replace by hand if I'm screwed into doing it manually.

From what I've experienced, you must use the same method that the creator used. If s/he used legit store cc then you must use legit store cc, if s/he used decrapped packages, then you must use decrapped packages. Try sending the creator a PM asking which method they used, you might get lucky and s/he used arr'd items.

I'm under the impression that the issue is a bit more complex. After downloading, from MTS, the lot referenced by Clara (Mirkwood) and two castles (Vampire and Swamp), I extracted them to packages with Delphy's tool and dropped them in the Library. I decided to test the following: Gothique Window, Faire Folk Bench, Magical Faire Door, Magical Faire Gate, Castle Double Door and Galileo's Observer. In my laptop I used the regular EA store-bought Sims3pack via Launcher. In my desktop, I used the store Sims3pack downloaded here, only compressorized (not decrapped) and extracted to packages. In my desktop, as expected, the items show as CC in Buy and in Build. But, in both cases, the items show in the lots.

Right, they show up because both versions used non decrapped items. I would guess that if you tried that using decrapped sims3packs instead of packages they won't show up. It's more a decrapped vs. Non decrapped rather than packs vs. Packages.
