🎶 About CarverSims Files: Files show up as brown boxes in Sims 3 launcher Downloads tab, but do install okay (as seen in the Installed Content tab of the launcher) and show up in-game with little Sims 3 Store boxes in the lower right corner of the object thumbnail.
++ Using any of this store content will not get your EA or Steam Account banned. When it's converted to .package it's considered a piece of custom content. EA does not track custom content or unlocked .Sim3Pack files from CarverSims.

Neither Blam's or Phantom's store content were decrapped. They were processed with the normal mode using CompressorizerRedux, aka s3rc.
With saying that, I've run into issues their files. However, I was able to find a fix using the ContentPatch.package along with NonaMena's Ccmerged.package file added to my Overrides folder. (C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Overrides)
–You can download my mods folder here: (https://simfileshare.net/download/3992675/) It has these files already in the Overrides folder.
Or download them yourself using the following links:
** All you need to install into the Overrides folder from the ContentPatch.zip file is is ContentPatch.package. (image > https://i.imgur.com/P6nF1RV.jpg) You can delete the Downloads folder and files inside.

DCBackup, ccmerged.package and Your Premium Content Items: (https://nonasims.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/dcbackup-ccmerged-package-and-your-premium-content-items/) -- Download link for ccmerged is closer to bottom of blog post. It's a mediafire link.
Decrapify renumbers the internal IDs and resources of Sims3Packs, essentially making the game treat it as a brand new or cloned item. This is why they need store fixes. However, it's my understanding decrapifying store content is not needed anymore. You can take the .Sims3Pack files, paste them onto s3rc.exe to compress them to smaller sizes. As a bonus, it unlocks them as well to make them into .package files.
Here's an article from ModtheSims that explains the process of converting Store files to .package files.
