Why in the name of god is there always a buff conflict between premium items? I just can't understand why EA keeps messing up the same thing over and over again.

It is not a buff conflict. EA isn't messing anything up. If you install through the launcher and do not delete the ccmerged.package everything will work exactly as EA has designed it to. The buffs use the same TGI because of the way EA has handled loading them in the core. Instead of loading a separate buff table for every single premium content item, EA loads one for all premium content items. It is smart because it saves EA time, but it is particularly sensitive to user error. If you delete the ccmerged.package, install de-crapped sims3packs, or use package files instead of sims3packs, you have to go about fixing the ccmerged.package yourself.
Anach:
Best and cleanest way to install content is to decrapify all store content and install through the launcher, and install all CC through merged packages in your mods folder (after extracting from sims3pack if needed). That keeps everything organised for easy reinstall, allows easy removal of CC and ensures everything works as intended.
Painkiller:
That's impossible to do, the launcher quickly become unstable if there's too many files. I dread to imagine installing the whole store like that, it would be a nightmare - and take days! Plus you won't be able to fix the categories of the stuff easily and if you want to remove an item you're good for a one hour search in the looooong list the launcher spouts. It's a fucking piece of shit, I use it only to install stuff that really needs it.
Sparks:
It's not impossible. I just did exactly that about a week ago; game runs probably 10 times faster/smoother using this method. Launcher isn't as unstable as it used to be. Also, I have my own CASP fixes, not to mention stencil removers and unlocked mailboxes. Everything works fine.
Don't be lazy, just try it. Also, as for un-installing, you can do so in S3PE as well. I just fixed a bunch of corrupted patterns that made my Misc section empty.
