@Fat_Lenny777Hi there.. do you have the Luniver SimsTray Importer? This happened to me once and I found the mod causing the issue, was connected to placement of objects, and small appliances. The Tray Importer can help as it will show the culprit mod and anything used for a lot (or sim).

As for the planters,  have you checked which way they are placed, that there is no footprint inhibiting the action? (or any resizing?) 

Also don't forget the localthumbcache file also needs to be deleted once removing mods before reloading the game.  

Hope this helps.

    @Sashas0nic Hi! Thanks for the feedback 🙂 I do not have the SimsTray Importer. You say I should download to help detect the culprit mod? It appears as though this is specific to CAS CC, will I also be able to use this for lots/builds?

    With the planter boxes, there should have been enough room. All the boxes were gridlocked (didn't use smooth placement via moveobjects). As soon as I changed them to the small planters, which were smooth placed and packed in much tighter than the larger planters (was even able to fit more planters in) I was able to tend the garden and water them immediately

    I did delete localthumbcache as well when I started a new The Sims 4 folder. With mods removed and disabled and all new file components except saves, the checked modded folder was no longer there but the blue cc wrench in the upper left corner was still there

      Hi @Fat_Lenny777 yes, the Luniver Sims, Tray Importer can detect all content saved in your Origin Library, both sims & lots. You may find it's 'residual' cc/mod left behind, it's happened to me before ie: a cloned item when placed for example (or even a 'placement mod') may still show the wrench, but all cc will be listed for lots, and sims with that application, so let me know how you go with that.

      Example for a sim, but is similar for a lot (will also show any cc attached to a 'picture frame' if on a lot or room)

        @Sashas0nic Thanks for the above and for your patience; I wanted to try a few things and the constant going in and out took a lot longer than I expected. And then I wrote out a reply to you but the page timed out and I lost it all.

        First, I downloaded and ran the application. It located some mods by LittleMsSam that keep kitchen cabinets, shelves, and paintings visible while walls are down.

        Second, I removed these mods and re-disabled and removed all mods altogether. I started the game, checked for CC tag and it was still there.

        Third, I removed my custom paintings again. Checked for CC tag and it was gone. Finally I was able to upload my build without the CC tag.

        I uploaded a Realm of Magic build prior to the 9/17 patch, however. This build had custom paintings and did not get the CC tag. So the recent patch might have still affected the paintings somehow. I thought it would be cool to have paintings of the Magic Realm hung around Magic Headquarters but it's not that important. Still, kind of a drag that it's no longer available.
