Moving Occupied Homes into the Lot Bin

[Sandilou]

To avoid Necromancy I'm simply quoting the bit that interests me.  I would like to move occupied houses into the lot bin without destroying my TS2 game.  Donkeys years ago (2005) J M P wrote:-

DO:
Evict families from an OCCUPIED lot to create an UNOCCUPIED lot.
Install UNOCCUPIED, lots that are clean of hacks.
Package UNOCCUPIED lots in a clean, hack-free environment.
Move an UNOCCUPIED lot to your Lot Bin.
Move an UNOCCUPIED lot from your Lot Bin to your neighborhood.
Install Bodyshop packaged template sims.
Extract To A Bodyshop package, an existing sim via SimSurgery in SimPE.

DO NOT:
Install OCCUPIED lots.
Package an OCCUPIED lot.
Move an OCCUPIED lot to your Lot Bin.
Move an OCCUPIED lot from your Lot Bin to your neighborhood.

This should be simple enough: Occupado = Bad! There are basically no exceptions, unless you consider both your source and destination neighborhoods disposable.
 
Does this still apply in 2010 now that TS2 is complete?  (I have the complete set of EPs, SPs and EA patches).  I am using the Megahood and just want to move occupied homes into other subhoods (not Universities).
