Using S3RC and Decrapify
Overview
When you try to Install Sims3Pack files into the game from the Launcher, the process seemingly goes without a hitch – the Launcher even tells you that the item(s) installation(s) were a “Success!” and that the process is “Done!”. However, come to find after you eagerly Launch the game looking for your newly installed contents they in fact are not there and never installed at all.

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:
- 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... - If you decrapify objects, you must decrapify all of your SAVED GAMES (.nhd & .packages in your .sims3), PRESETS (userPresets.package), and LIBRARY.
- DECRAPIFIED saved or exported items containing CRAPIFIED content will malfunction in a non-decrapified install.
- THIS PROCEDURE IS EXPERIMENTAL!
- 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.
