When figuring out if something works or not, I always assume anything that isn't a mod works, even if the comments say otherwise, and then just test it myself. I get regular comments on my stuff from people who have some issue and tell me the asset is broken. Often it's a mod or not understanding how the specific asset works. I usually get around to answering and explaining, but not all creators have the time, especially if they get many of those comments, so the comment section can sometimes be filled with comments that aren't confirmed.

For mods I also tend to test things myself, but that's a little more complicated and risky. A buildling won't mess up my save, but a mod might. Generally I always recommend saving as a new file every time you save your city. It protects you against the file corrupting, but it also leaves you with backups in case a mod messes up something. It's a good way to approach mods, even new ones that you assume work. :)
