How to get decrapified store content to appear/replace items in a lot?
JustASimmer:
I found a thread from 2011 (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=20299.0) that was explaining how a lot can be decrapified, but arrr'd store content will not appear properly if the author of the lot used non-decrapified store content.
Is there a way to have decrapified store content appear in the lot in places it should?
From the thread it appears to be no because the items are not recognized by the game so it finds nothing to replace. Is this correct?
Madame Mim:
You're asking the question the wrong way. There's absolutely nothing wrong with decrapifying lots or worlds or Sims. It all works, but you can't expect things that aren't decrapified to be the same as things that are. You also can't expect things that are installed via the launcher to behave exactly the same as things that are installed as a package. Please re-organise your thoughts (especially around that mangled title of yours) and try again.
JustASimmer:
My apologies, I edited my question and title.
I was thinking of a few questions at once and did not formulate my thoughts properly.
The only other question I have is if having installed store content that I bought will conflict with the same items from a set downloaded/decrapified here or would that be resolved by decrapifying my saves, user-presets, and library? This question is in the store questions thread I believe, but no one has seen/replied to it yet since the release of Waning Moon.
I realize, though, that this thread does not revolve around that question and it most likely will not be answered here; I will wait for a response to this in the other thread.
Again, my apologies for my ignorance. I have already put together a word document with instructions and explanations of the download process from various members--there were just a few questions that I did not find or interpret the answers for.

If your store stuff is decrapped you must decrap the lot file for the correct items to be placed. Make sure you're using the latest decrapper tool. As for your other question, yes, the vanilla and decrapped versions are two different items, therefore you'll have doubles. If you've already got the arr'd ones, why on earth would you buy them?
bitterquill:
I acquired some of my store content legitimately (namely limited edition content and the like). Rather than having to remember what's decrapified and what's not, requiring a mixed bag of overrides and lots, I just arr'd and decrapified everything. My guess is that many others have done he same, as it's probably the easiest solution.
