Ok, I have often wondered this. Why are pre-decrapified files such a bad thing? Surely it just means someone has done the work of decrapifying for you, so you don't have to?

Basically it's because of the possibility that Pescado may need to update decrapify/s3rc at some point. For example, stairs, fences, fireplaces and counters were all not working properly with an older version of decrapify (which was admittedly a long time ago). Now they work fine, but people who are using sims3packs that were decrapped before the update will still have problems.
Of course, the other problem is that it's not quite obvious whether an item has been decrapped or re-compressed by just glancing at the sims3pack. If you run an untouched sims3packs through de-crapify yourself, you know exactly what has been done to the files.

Ah ok. So it's not like it will asplode your game then, it's just sensible to control the process yourself. Thanks for the explanation, I don't pay much attention to it all myself, as I can't even use decrapified sims3packs any more, just packages which I guess are decrapped etc.

Also, the game treats decrapified content like a totally different object from the original file. If you release a lot using decrapified store objects, the game will replace the objects with basegame stuff if the person installing the lot doesn't have the exact same objects in his/her game.

Welp. It's a good job most of my lots are unfurnished then. *shifty eyes*
