Meet the little Fixed Icon:
. This is stuff, EA actually fixed. You will need to redownload any Store items.
Please post if you know about a faulty item (but please wait a little while until I'm done updating).
If you know about any threads that deal with solutions, let me also know.

Twallan made a mod that can help with the categorization issues.
The Dresser lets you maintain an invalid parts list and replaces the outfits for Sims that are wearing those. Still looking into the details and you will need some basic tuning knowledge. Details to follow.
erbkaiser has made a invalid_parts tuning file that corrects most of the miscategorizations with the Store items. You can find it here:
erbkaiser's InvalidParts Tuning. File as-is. No support given.

General Problems
- Wall lights that are from before LN can't be shifted up and down

- Stairs that came out before they made them recolorable are all still non-recolorable. (Patch 1.5)

The left and right edges of the "Simple Paneling with Crown and Baseboard Moulding" are slightly different in brightness, so that when put together on the wall you see the alternating brightness all around the room. This is the set used in the store picture for the "Glitter and Glam" bedroom set.
General Problems
- The HELS aquarium and the fish bowl don't show all of the LN fish
World Adventures
Hidden tomb door (WA) shows holes in the walls--> reported by gobot1236
Questionable items
- Those male shoes from FL look kind of girly. What do you think ? Should they be categorized for sleepwear only cause they are actually slippers or should they be female only ? (I don't have FL, so I can't form an opinion myself).

Not unless they are causing you the issues stated.
Examples:
If you have townies runnign around in the Scuba shoes...then yes remove them
If the Cellar Arch crashed your game when you try to place it...then yes remove it
ETC.
I would wait on Crin for a better answer, but I think i might be on the right track
As Alex said, that really depends if it bothers you. With the recolorable thing for example - I don't mind too much, also it doesn't bother me that the wall items pre-LN are not up-down-shiftable. Someone else might find that a major pain.
So I say: If it's an issue for you, uninstall, if not, leave them BUT I would certainly not spend any SP on those items. If they come with a set you really want, I would be ok but don't buy them as single items.

Another issue: In Twinbrook, across from the science facility is a warehouse similar to the one in Riverview. It doesn't show up as a lot, you can't build on it or delete it. It has no map tag.

What's the problem with it? :?
Can't really tell you. Someone in the german forum pointed that out. I don't have the set. I'll go check if there was some extra info.
@MSladyTSO: Will add in a moment.

Just gifted you the set,..so go figure out whats wrong with it
- There are some shoes from FL that show up in male but look female to me (my sims won't be wearing them).
- I think the pirate outfit and boots as swimwear were in the set but could be with Barnacle Bay (couldn't find them separately).
- The indulgent living set had no info associated with the items when released. I've downloaded again but some items are still not fixed.
