Pretty sure modthesims.info has modding and scripting guides. I've been on that site since the Sims 2 came out when it used to be called modthesims2.com and where my username was born. One thing I've learned about the modding community is that it has always been tight knit and community driven. Where one modder leaves off, another one has picked up usually. There is even a section on that site to ask for mods to be updated or made it is pretty neat. But yes if forums ever did get as detailed as the modthesims site is, that would be amazing, but then again the site has been around longer then this iteration of forums, so there has been time to improve and build upon. Sorry about your favorite mods being broken. I'm still waiting for some by Zerbu to get updated from many patches ago.
