Using Decrapify (as noted below) is permanent and irreversible and since you are using an experimental outside program to alter the sim3packs, the process is not supported by MTS. Help and support must be obtained by the creator(s) of such programs.

===========================

A Note from Pescado in the [url=http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15129.0.html]TS3 Recompressor Thread on MATY[/url]

EXPERIMENTAL "DECRAPIFY" OPTION! Invoke with "s3rc -fD" (fixonly, decrapify) OR "decrapify" (drag/drop FOR TARDS).
Should fix all busted s3packs that don't install correctly in the launcher, like those old TSR ones. Caveats:

1. Permanently and irreversibly alters the target package/s3pack. Due to the type of damage involved, the game will see the decrapified object
   as a seperate object from a non-decrapified object. Any saved game that used these objects or skins will be broken as a result, but...
2. If you decrapify objects, you must decrapify all of your SAVED GAMES (.nhd & .packages in your .sims3), PRESETS (userPresets.package), and LIBRARY.
3. DECRAPIFIED saved or exported items containing CRAPIFIED content will malfunction in a non-decrapified install.
4. THIS PROCEDURE IS EXPERIMENTAL!
5. decrapify exe requires s3rc exe to be accessible on path.

THEREFORE: Do not share decrapified packages, only share original unmodified packages. "decrapify" not available for Linux,
because Linux users are not stupid enough to need it and can just use -fD by hand.

A NOTE ABOUT DECRAPIFYING: The use of the decrapify option shouldn't need to be used frequently, and in fact should rarely need to be used at all. It can be helpful with content that doesn't install (such as old legacy Sims3Packs made with early versions of custom content tools) or doesn't show up in the game anymore. In my own experience, after I patched, all of my CC, including EA made content such as Riverview, disappeared from my game, and my saved games that were dependent upon Riverview disappeared as well. Decrapifying fixed things for me.

You should be aware that if you decrapify any content that is ALREADY installed (IE the .dbc files), you will then need to decrapify all of your saved game files.

Decrapifying is an experimental option that Pescado made to address some of these problems. As such you should treat it with care and make proper backups.
