I noticed this on another Sim 4 build I did, but I assumed it was because I used a DEBUG object in my home. I've never even installed a mod or CC into my game because I like uploading onto the gallery and I don't want my game to crash. Today I finished a house and was putting artwork from the gallery into it. I used art from @Sparklili which I have used often in the past and never had a problem with. I was using art from <farmhouse art> <farm art> <country art> and <chalkboard art>. One of these accounts would be where the "CC" is coming from, but even when I delete ALL the art in the house I made, my build is still flagged as having CC!I like being able to use art from other people because it makes my builds feel more unique and makes the game a lot more fun. Can this problem please be resolved so that I can upload my content and not accidentally download any CC if that's what I did?

I have a lot of mods but I did not use any CC in my build and it still shows up as modded. This repeats for several builds over the course of a few months, had no problems before. I have the Better BuildBuy mod that lets you hide all CC from the catalogue, maybe it's causing the issue?

Would this apply to Cas as well? I dod create a sim today without any cc used but I do have mccc and a few other mods installed so it was flagged as cc in the gallery. I exited the game, removed the mods folder, went back and tried to edit her in cas and reupload but she still reuploads as modded. :/

@Kowallibear If it's CC, you didn't get it by downloading something on the gallery. ALL cc is stored in the Mods folder and it's ALL put there by you.If you download something on the gallery and it has CC, whatever that CC item was will be gone when you use it.If you have a house and it's getting flagged as custom content, it's one of two things... either you DO have some CC item in the build somewhere (wall texture, sofa, fridge, something...) Or you have created something in-game. Like if you have a painter paint something by reference, like her husband, house or something, you might have a photographer take a picture of something in there house... while those paintings and photographs aren't "CC" you downloaded, it's still technically "custom content" and will flag it as such.The easiest way to remove CC instead of looking through the thousands of items you may have used in your build... do it like this...Upload your house to your library. Save and quit the game. Remove your ENTIRE mods folder. Load the game back up and create an entirely new world. Name it "NOCC". Place the lot from your library and any CC you used will be removed when you place it.Make a change or two and re-upload it back to your library. If it STILL has the "CC" wrench on it, it must be a photo or painting your sim made. Just remove those.Just remember to put your Mods folder back in before you play your previous world again.

@Kowallibear Hi (and thanks), none of my shared art are CC x , any new noCC paintings shared on the gallery since the recent patch will be marked as CC but I've not done any since

This is a new problem. I think. I have built a house using the TOOL mod, and using some Gallery content. The house is now showing as CC on the Gallery. I have removed the Mods folder entirely, loaded up a new world and downloaded the house from my Library. It still uploads as having CC. I am not understanding this. I have been uploading for over a year using the TOOL mod and gallery content with no cc showing. the ONLY difference that I can see is that the home was built in Tartosa. Could this be a problem with this world? I have also tried downloading the house to Newcrest and the same issue occurs. Please can someone help?Many thanks.

@kat-stvrd It shouldn't apply to CAS as well. Try this, and let's see if it clears the info fully from that Sim:

Do a Save As to make a copy of your save that's for CC-free uploading purposes

Set your Options to not including CC and mods

Exit the game, drag Mods to the desktop (you'll put the files back in the new Mods folder later), and delete localthumbcache

Restart Sims, load the no-CC save, and upload. You might need to save then upload.

It's been a long time since I did this (I really should start sharing my households again!), and I don't think I needed all these steps. If you're looking for a minimum of possible steps, I'd start with deleting localthumbcache.
