By doing the binary search I found the culprit and deleted the bad cc, as I think I have told before.
What do you mean by a binary search?
Take out all mods/CC and put them back in small, controllable quanitities til you find the problem file.

A binary search is performed by removing half of your downloads at a time to narrow down your search.
Keep repeating the process until you have found the bad CC.

Be very careful with Sims Lulamai! Their objects (not just decos) blue-lot your neighborhoods. I tested Set Baņo (medieval bath set) and Set Cocina (medieval kitchen). Even functioning mirror, sinks, toilet, and bathtub are faulty! I specifically tested them one by one. Set Cocina is posted today!
The only good ones from these two sets:
D&M_Lampara_de_Pie, D&M_Lampara_Sobremesa (two lamps)
D&M_Baul_M (trunk)
D&M_Tapiz_M_1 (wall hanging)
D&M_Cocina_M1 (stove) *The fridge and table from Set Cocina might be ok, but I don't like to have them, so deleted them early on and did not test them.
[EDIT] It turns out the foods and utensils from Set Cocina are good. The faulty one is the SINK!
[EDIT2] The foods and utensils from Set Cocina may not be all good. I first put two cups and a pie, and they were ok. I then put all the rest on lot, it turned blue. Sigh....I give up. But the sink is bad by itself for sure.
The decos from are cloned mostly from:
sculptureKitchenUtensilsCountry
sculpturePlantIvyBallTopiarySmall
At least one deco is from CoffeeCup, one from ClutterTablePerfumes
Non-decos are cloned from:
Bath from BathtubModern
Sinks from SinkPedestalTraditional
Toilet from ToiletModern
wall mirror (sorry, I can't find the file on my computer any more)

As explained here.
In related news, I spent the afternoon testing stuff. For ease of reading, numbered list to follow.
1.) I uninstalled and re-installed the base game and updates, deleting all my old saved games (after backing them up) and custom content (I backed up Packages for purposes of comparison, and I have a backup of all unrared CC in any case).
2.) I then re-installed the framework and copied all CC using the sims3pack format into the My Documents Downloads folder, and used the launcher to install them all once-off.
3.) Next I deleted everything in DCBackup and made sure that I had taken out all of the packages in my Mods/Packages folder.
4.) I then went to the folder where I backup my unrared CC files. I copied all the package files from there and placed them back into the Packages folder, and installed AM and amconfig.
5.) The only other thing I did was to install 3booter and the FPS-limiter, which I hadn't done before after patching.
6.) In-game, I placed ALL the furnished custom houses I downloaded.
7.) Finally created a new family and continued to play, played a while, saved, exited and went back in to load 'er up again.
I have not had a recurrence of the Blue Lot of Neighbourhood Death problem yet.
I noticed when I compared the backed up Packages file from the borked game with the new Packages folder as copied from the unrared packages that there used to be a LOT of packages with names like 0x4dd8d638cf3c45e987c1f7688ed340c7.package (like 100 or more) in the old folder.
Inge:
So, Grimma, you put the stuff back that was bluelotting before, and it has stopped bluelotting?
