Please, you awesome people, tell me not to worry about AL townie-spawning! Because I'm afraid we can see another BV tour guide-spawning catastrophe.
After installing AL, the EP generated tons of new townies, including pre-made families and NPCs, that's OK, new social groups. My second gameplay day resulted 30 new townies (all adults and social group members). My third gameplay day resulted 8 new townies, again all adults and socials. My fourth gameplay day (today) generated 7 new townies, all adults, social groups (it was just a 1-hour gameplay day).
The Spawning of Social Group members is "correct", as there are a bunch of social groups that all maintain their own townie pools. Also, you get triplicate NPCs without antiredundancy. That's a lot of sims. But EAxis is probably unconcerned about this as there are maybe 6 months of life left, making it unlikely you can blow up your game in 6 months, at least to EAxis-thought.

So far everything I've experienced with AL is fine, except for the apartments. >:(
The good news is that JMP was, of course, right about the 1xn "buffer zone." I'm sure it will make its way into AwesomeSpec for apartments (assuming the rest of the borkenness can be fixed). This works great to stop your Sims from being awakened by the rude neighbors. I never did experience my Sims being the rude neighbors and getting complained at. (Sorry for small pic size, I should have zoomed in the camera.)
The bad news is that defining what things inside apartments may and may not be edited, and indeed the problems with what exactly the definition of "inside" is, are killing everything else. Imagine my surprise when Mary Gavigan suddenly started wanting a refrigerator, when they clearly already have one.
Of course I quickly found out that she wanted a fridge because that fridge-shaped object wasn't being recognized as a fridge. Couldn't delete it at first until I entered boolprop aptsublotspecifictoolsdisabled false. The replacement also wasn't recognized as a fridge. Neither was the cheap basegame fridge I replaced the replacement with. The only option I saw was Juggle Bottles.
That's when I moved out the Gavigans, as well as any other Sims I had in apartments. They will be going into houses, there to enjoy a normal life where a fridge is a fridge, a terlet is a terlet, a fence is a fence, a nanny is a nanny, and Christian Love is a hazy memory.
Hopefully the regular houses aren't now borked also....

I was playing that orphan family the Newsons or whatever and only the oldest teen boy acts as a teen. I was going to have the teen girl miss the bus to wait for the nanny, and told the teen boy to get on the bus but he wouldn't because he "can't bear to leave the little ones...blah blah fishcakes"
It was then I noticed the teen girl didn't have the option to teach the toddlers their skills but she could still change them and feed them. It is like she wasn't recognized as a full teen.
Is this just because she is a pre-made?
She was able to potty train the toddlers in my game. I alternated sending the teen girl and the teen boy to school in my game, as it was only for three days before the toddlers were school age. Whichever teen was going to school each day got that message.

I have the same problem with her.

Others have mentioned this, but I'm going to do it again.
I tested this in a no-mod game so I know it's not a conflict. Though running the game with the phonehack doesn't solve the issue.
When the phone rings and a Sim attempts to answer on their cell phone, the cell phone immediately disappears from the inventory. Answering on the landline phone appears to work fine and calling out on both the cell phone and landline yields no issues. Only answering on the cell phone.
I'm attaching a forced error log of the cell phone just because that's all I have. I don't know if it'll do any good.
