Thanks for the gentle prod. Where is the facepalm icon? \mods\override was not empty... TeenPregAwesomeVers2.package is incompatible with 1.7

Directions (and vague hints) to regain awesomeness much appreciated...

After updating from 1.4.3 to 1.7.9 with the launcher, my sim lost its ability to engage in direct social interactions.

Chatting on the phone and with the computer is still possible, but no actions are available for sims that are on the same lot. The icon does change and their name is displayed when hovering over the intended subject, but no actions are available. Passive actions still work, i.e. "watch" a sim that is playing guitar.

After reading http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17266.0.html I tried to debug by starting the game without any Mods except NRaas_NoCD, removing all CC, and starting a new neighborhood. No luck.

Any ideas from the collective MATY awesomeness that can help to prevent me from having to do a complete reinstall?
