[patch 1.118] Auto Lights won't stay on!

Ever since the update my lights are stuck on "On". I keep setting them to auto lights but it seems every time I travel away from the house, then back, they are reset to "On".

    I did a fair bit of testing on this. It does not occur in a mod-free game. It does occur if you have an outdated version of Deaderpool's mod MC Command Center (specifically, version 2025.5.0, which was never cleared as compatible with patch 1.118). Update that for patch 1.118.

    See the patch 1.118 Broken and Updated Mods and CC thread for other mods you might need to update. It's possible that more than one outdated mod causes this.

    More info on how to manage your mods when the game updates and and how to fully test mod-free are in How to Use Mods and CC .

    Could you please provide the following information

    -  Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    -  What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac, Playstation, XBox)

    Having this issue too. loaded into the household with the lights on when they should be auto. I set them to auto again and then opened the cooking menu and all the lights were on again once exiting the menu.

    Playing on PC, no mods enabled since patch but my game has had mods in it.

    So since the most recent update a few days ago my game has been having issues with the Auto lights. Every time I leave the lot and return, the lights are automatically all on despite having chosen auto lights multiple times. It isn't the end of the world, but it is certainly annoying to deal with.

    The lights that I have been using that have trouble are the "super subtle saucer lights" and the "cheese wheel: suspended"

    When I reload my game, or go from a different lot back to my home lot, my lighting settings don't save and go back to that horrible full blast white light. Please help.

    Tried without mods, and also repaired game.
