TBH I had completely forgotten about that topic, and I usually build with a family in the house. I have just failed miserably in making a backup of my save, moving the screenshots folder out instead of the saves folder, and then deleting the whole thing to make the game load a fresh one. Good thing I had a somewhat recent version of my build on the gallery. Will report back if refreshing the folder has helped as soon as I know!
I can confirm that resetting my game folder has helped solve the issue. I really don't know what caused it as I was playing a fresh save when it happened, but at least it works again! Thanks for pointing out my old topic!

I moved this to the general forum and marked as solved for now.
Feel free to come back if it occurs again

I wasn't sure if I had to up this one or make a new one, in case I need to make a new one please let me know and I'll do it!
This issue has somehow returned. I tried multiple solutions, one of which from this topic was emptying the game folder and have the game create new files. This didn't change anything in my existing (backed up) saves, but initially SEEMED to help with a fresh save. However, I always start a save by demolishing all residential lots and removing all premade households except for 1 (untill I have made my own and that last one is removed as well). As soon as I had removed all households and started demolishing houses the issue once again returned. By that point I tested if making yet another new save would return the option to properly save screenshots in builmode, but it didn't. So I wonder if there is a connection between these actions and the issues returning?

Ohhh. something is clicking into place. I usually use the workaround mentioned here for 2 reasons: 1 is not to have to go to every single category of items and 2, rooms that I have 'seen' will not loose their "new" mark without this workaround. Yet somehow I think that it is this workaround that messes up the ability to screenshot uninhabited lots. Can this be the case?
