[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 It does occur if you have an outdated version of Deaderpool's mod MC Command Center (specifically, version 2025.5.0, which was never cleared as compatible with patch 1.118).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 It's possible that more than one outdated mod causes this.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 .

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.

Same for me, it’s been like that for a few days now.. so annoying. Everytime I leave the house or going in to CAS the lights always is on everywhere when I go back. Same with the fridge it’s empty every time so I have to cook new food 🥲

kirakins8837 moahellgrens misspinky200 SimmerCarl92 This is a known issue for an outdated version of MC Command Center -- the version from before the current one, which was updated the day of the patch. Update to the current version of MCCC. See the current Broken and Updated Mods and CC topic for other mods you might need to remove or update, and How to Use Mods and CC for how to manage your mods when there's a game patch.

I'm moving you into the thread for this issue.
