Re: Household without any CC gets tagged as having CC after uploading to the Gallery

@ronetarmy Hi!  I'm not sure if this will help but try deleting the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game for testing.  My guess is there may be some hidden trait or feature that was added by a mod and this cache file can sometimes carry the effects of mods even when they're removed.  I've had the dreaded CC flag show up on my households before and I know how annoying it is because I prefer to only share mod/CC free creations.  If you're interested, click the spoiler to see the steps that I take when the CC flag appears on my households.

Spoiler

1. Save the household to Library (I usually see the CC flag here before uploading to Gallery)

2. Create a mod-free save only used for testing without mods and for things like this (this is so your primary save does not change when you remove mods/CC in step 4)

3. Exit the game

4. Move all mods/CC out of the mods folder (I have a temporary folder where I move them)

5. Delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder

6. Launch the game

7. Load the mod-free save

8. Click the button to create a new household from the map

9. Load your saved household from the library (it should no longer have the CC flag)

10. Save the household again and/or Share to the gallery.


Once I've shared my household to the Gallery. I just exit the game, move my mods/CC back and get back to playing. :-)

Hope this helps!
