Something I noticed the other day, with the most recent SimPkCleanInstaller, it shows what is also in lots if you have those in your cc files. You know a lot you downloaded but didn't open/install, or just left it's package in your downloads folder. This may cause the cleaner to think you have duplicates but don't since the lot isn't actually open/or installed or it may be installed, but still in your downloads folder.
You should remove the round lot thingy from downloads and put it maybe in a file on your desktop or in documents if you want to keep those in case you want to reintall them someday. The reason, the clean installer also sees what is in that house lot file, (not opened) so always check subfolders (where your cc is located if you make folders) because you could delete a duplicate because it also saw the stuff in a lot but you didn't open that lot. Does that make sense? I found this out the other day when I left some lots I had downloaded in the downloads folder and had not opened them. The installer saw the cc in there (which of course would not have been reinstalled if I had opened the lots) but it saw my actual downloads (some recolors and meshes etc.) as duplicates. Deleting those made them leave the game, since the installer thought I had them twice but acutally I didn't, they were in lots I had not installed or opened yet.
