Re: I can't remove the wrench icon for the life of me

@crinrict I did that when I removed all folders and then repaired the game. I re-downloaded the family and it still had the wrench icon.

You can find the family I mean in my library - it should be Simself WIP or something like that, the most recent upload

I'm re-installing the game right now because it didn't work. Hopefully a complete reinstall will do it, because I otherwise have no idea what could be causing the wrench to still be around

    @ZanthiatheMystic That does retain the wrench for me as well. I'll see what I find and let you know. Reinstalling the game won't make a difference.

    EDIT: Ok, that is sooo weird. The only thing that I found will get rid of the wrench is if you turn Sean into a woman. He seems to be the issue in the household. I have no idea what could be flagging him as cc that isn't there when he's a female.

    @crinrict That's... that's so weird? Which Sean is it? Child Sean or Adult Sean?

    I can't fathom what could have caused it. At the very least, I would assume the problem sim would have been mine (Charlotte - Adult) as she has the most outfits, and was created long ago, before the rest of them

    Thank you so much for looking into it! When my game has been re-installed, I will idk re-do him from scratch I suppose

    @ZanthiatheMystic The adult one. It goes away if you randomize him as a twin. Do you want the flag gone for uploading ? It doesn't really affect gameplay as such. I would suggest if you want to upload them, put them in CAS, under genetics, create a twin of him, change all the clothing back to what Sean has on, then delete the original sean and reset all the relationships (he'll loose all skill and such of course)

    I randomized him as a completely different Sim and he still flagged so not sure what else you can do.

    @crinrict Thank you for letting me know! Yeah, the sims include my boyfriend and my best friend.

    I was going to make kids of all of us for a mod I found where kids can live on their own, and then for the High School gameplay which I've not bought yet, but was preparing for (for both me, Sean and Becky). I wanted them CC free so that irl Sean and Becky can find and download them easy both now and in the future (Becky keeps on forgetting it's tagged as CC)

    The skills are nothing, I use mods to set them

    Thank you for the suggestion! I will do just that 🙂

    @ZanthiatheMystic You might need to do some re-tweaking as I think a twin isn't an exact clone but I think it's easier than using the cloning machine from GTW :D
