[FIXED] Can't remove Plumbob via default.ini file

As of the recent May Patch, editing the values in the default.ini file to 0.00 does not remove the plumbob in game. I am aware of headlineeffects off, but I just want the plumbob hidden. No mods or CC. On Windows 7.

    Alright, so here is the story:

    My PC that had THE SIMS 4 installed went in for repair. When I got it back, The game was installed, but wouldn't open. So, I reinstalled, thinking that it deleted the original install. (I'll call this Game A.) But, I was actually playing a new install (Game B.) So, the reason editing the values to delete the plumbob wasn't working was because I was editing the file for Game A, while I was running Game B.

    I have now properly gotten rid of Game A and  edited the correct  default ini file (for Game B)  and it worked perfectly as of the early December patch.  Haven't played since the patch a few days ago, but I'll report back if there is any issue.

    Thank you! I just wanted to report that the bug is still happening in the newly released June patch.

    Yes, I am aware you need to change the values after every update. Still not working.

    Since it was supposed to be working before the user reported, I'd like to get some feedback from OP on this
