Decrapify made store lots disappear from the Library folder
virgali:
Disclaimer: I'm posting my ordeal here because Witch adviced me to do so.
Pescado updated the s3cr files so store objects will show up in lots you download instead up being replaced by base game objects. Up untill today I've been using the old files to decrapify and everything worked fine (it didn't bother getting the new ones cause it didn't really bother me stuff got replaced). I changed my mind because of the Regency building.
So I deleted the October set file, decrapped using the new files and then installed it with the launcher. When I went in game I realised that not only was the building missing from the library but so were the Gothique Library and the Olympian Physique. I then quit the game and decrapped my save files using the new files but that didn't help either. I then proceeded to delete the files again, extracted an untouched set, decrapped it with the old files and install it. this prompted a message that it was already installed. I loaded the game, the objects were there but the buildings were still missing.
No matter what I did I couldn't get the sims3pack to uninstall not through the launcher or manually. So I deleted all cache files and the DCBackup folder installed the October, Olympian and Gothique sets (decrapped using the old files), and voila the buildings are there again. The items of course still get replaced but at least I now have the buildings.
Moryrie also suggested another work-around which is to download her package files of the buildings and place them into the library myself. Which I'm going to try tomorrow and see if I can get the objects to show up in the building that way.
Either way I hope someone is able to shed a light on why decrapifiying a set would cause other stuff to disappear?

Why are the buildings so important to you? They're typical EAxis lots with crappy floor plans, inefficient pathing, and absolutely no eye for design, even with the store content intact.

You're missing the point. Decrapiying something shouldn't make stuff disappear from my game. EA store or otherwise.

How could I be doing it wrong if I did EXACTLY what I always do? Also your "fix" isn't working either.
