Solved

No CC installed, saved lots are still marked as containing CC

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.80.69.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Build something with debug items with TwistedMexi's BBB/Tool using only game items. Or download the lot and room that are marked as CC from the gallery. My ID is Zasz_Zerg.
What happens when the bug occurs? Saved and shared rooms/lots in the gallery are marked as containing CC.
What do you expect to see? No CC tag on saved and shared rooms/lots in the gallery.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

‌

I understand that two mods are involved but they cant add something to the game that isnt part of those mods. Like CC. I dont have any build mode CC items installed. The gallery should not mark debug items as CC because the mods only enable me to use items that are in the game.

@Zasz_Zerg Is it the one that spawns insects ? I don't know how it works but I'm guessing the info on how to spawn gets saved with the lot when you upload it which makes the game think it's modded cause there's info there that shouldn't be,

The room seems a bit odd.

As for pictures, that was confirmed by the devs as being cc and I can see why. It's a custom picture someone made of their Sims or content.

I don't know all the background though.

Moving this on to GD as feedback.

What I've been doing as a workaround is temporarily turn off mods, open the save, upload the lot to the gallery, close without saving, turn mods back on, and restarting my game. Annoying, but it works?

@Zasz_Zerg Both of these don't flag as cc if they put them in my vanilla game. Have you tested if they flag as cc for you if you remove the mods ?

It really depends on the mod if they can cause the flag or not.

Which mods are you using ?

Moving this to tech for troubleshooting.

Have you tested the room and lot from my gallery which are flagged?

@Zasz_Zerg yes. I placed them both on the same lot and it wasn't flagged when trying re-upload. I only re-uploaded to my library but that shouldn't make a difference.

Someone on TMs discord suggested to use sims 4 tray importer. It says its a mod called "buggedout".
Doesnt make sense for a saved room because the bugs that spawn from the mod are from the game, not CC. Same with pictures of sims. The detection could be improved there so this doesnt happen.

Yep, it was the insect spawning mod. There werent any insects on the lot or room. But maybe because I saved the room from a lot where the mod was active. When I removed the mod I reuploaded several lots and those two and they all had no flag this time. Very strange.
What do you mean "the room seems a bit odd" ?

@Zasz_Zerg I meant that a room would have insects but then again, I have no idea how the mod works.

I would have thought they only spawn outside :D
