I updated with Waninkoko's 4.1U updater, and now preloader's hacks are no longer working. When going to system hacks It says "there are no hacks found for your system menu..." Any ideas?
Hacking Getting hack.ini from preloader working with 4.1U

Well you need to search for a hacks.ini that patches the SysMenu 4.1, instead of trying to patch values from FW 4.0, although I haven't seen any thread about it, so for now you don't have any patches to apply...!!!

Well, 4.1 came out a day or two ago so it's not really surprising that there aren't any hacks for it yet. Your options are to be patient or to discover the hacks yourself. There's a reason why the advice around these boards is to generally wait it out a bit on the updates.
If you don't want to wait you could try porting the values with IDA pro or Smelter, howtos can be found by googling "Patch porting", I guess you'll find howtos to port phone patches, but it's the same.

hmmm i wonder how long it will take them to port the patches to 4.1
last time it went pretty quick...
Has anyone tried to change just the version numbers in the hacks.ini, and see if the current patches work? The DOLs from 4.0 and 4.1 are the same filesize, so (in a long shot) you might get lucky and have the patches work from the previous version.

Already tried that, it lists the hacks, but they dont seem to work. For example it shows the disable health screen hack has enabled but I still have to hit A when turning on the wii.

so then it is up to the people who found the hacks in the first place to find the same hacks in the new system menu

i have no idea, i never use the softmii nand dump app but you can with a old bootmii dump or by installing system menu 4.0 wad again (both 4.0 and 4.1 use ios 60 so you don't have to reinstall that one...)

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer -

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
