PSA: Abandonated Mods Borked by AL
Ambular:
Well, once again it's that time when we all run around kermitflailing about all the mods by vanished creators that have been broken by the new EP.
I'll start the ball rolling by listing those abandonated mods in my downloads (see attachment) that hackdiff indicates may need an update. Please note that these all appeared to work properly with Free Time, and as far as I know they are the most recent versions that have been released.
***ETA: I knew I forgot something when I made this post. If you check your own downloaded mods using hackdiff, as of the last concrete information I was able to pry out of Pescado, it's usually safe to ignore certain items that turn up as needing updates if ALL of the following are true:
1. The only errors returned are of the "name unsupported" type; AND
2. None of the instances listed are 0x12F, 0x130, or 0x12D; AND
3. The mod appears to work correctly in the game and not break anything else.
This may be subject to revision, since I received this information a couple of EP's back. But since all I can currently get Pescado to say on the subject is "It's like a sandwich, Ambular," caveat emptor.***
If you have more to add to the list that are either possibly or definitely broken as of AL, please comment below and I'll update as needed.
If you know of an update or an alternative to a borked abandoned mod, please mention that too and provide a link.
If you are a modder and are willing to check out/update/replace a mod on the list, thank you in advance and please let us know!
If a modder on the list is still alive and well and updating their stuff, comment and I will edit this post accordingly.
If you have a broken mod and don't know who made it, go ahead and post with the filename (attach if possible) and I'll put it here. Perhaps someone will know the creator and their status.

Capitaine Marie:
Er...I suppose if I use any of these hacks (specifically LotFullOfSims) my game will be a BFBVFS? :-\
Also, I learned Squinge's PregnancyWearAnyOutfit borks the new closets (thanks to some other posters).

This is not a certainty; some mods function all right even when they throw up a hackdiff error, but it's not wise to consider it "safe" even if it appears to work, until an experienced modder has had a look at the code.
Madame Mim:
I've got lotFullOfSims in my testing game atm and it doesn't seem to do anything terrible (no errors or hiccups). I haven't tried getting more Sims in the household yet - there's only six in my testing family.

I believe BV build/buy enabler was by Carrigon @ The Sims 2 Workshop. *shrugs*
Nukem Wall Speaker Fix.package - by Menaceman44 @ MTS2, you could ask him about it though.
ObjectsPetstoFT.package - by Me ... you DO NOT WANT, take it out even if you don't have AL! Lord Darcy said there were certain problems with the Community to Residential items I had made available in the residential catalog. However if somebody wants to make a more awesome version, go right ahead. I failed and deleted the downloads off the face of the earth! (it was because I had changed the guid's on the OBJD's and such. Unfortunately, that was a stupid mistake by me. I'm betting there is a simpler way of not borking the game, correct? Macro me please. I'm still a 12 until Thursday.
edit: I hate my shift key.
