So I've been updating all of my sims so that they have proper hot and cold weather outfits, some of which I've been re-uploading to the Gallery. When I got to my twin Vampire household, their Grand Master version (I have a regular and Grand Master version of all my vampires, the former more for playing while the latter more for extra population in a game) seem to now be listed as modded when the only thing that was done to them was use the game's built in cheats to rank them up to Grand Master and assign their points according to their personalities.
I'm not sure when this change came about (I first created them sometime in the spring, but I suspect the patch for Seasons may have been the changing point due to how a lot of cheat options were disabled then), but when I originally made the Grand Master version of them and uploaded to the Gallery, they weren't listed as modded. Now however, for some reason they are. Thought maybe it was because I left one of my mods in (it disables the vampire CAS animations as that gets annoying when trying to create them and they keep running the animation when you're trying to examine things) but even when I removed it and remade the Grand Master version (started a new game, imported the base template of them and cheated them to Grand Master with the built in cheat options, assigned points) to see if maybe it was from the mod, but they still seem to get listed as modded after setting them to Grand Master and saving them.
Tried a work around that I found regarding creations mistakenly tagged as modded, but that didn't seem to work. I've also noticed three new sims of mine that I saved recently (one was through an experiment before Seasons the other two were random sims that were generated that I found possible long term use for) are now locked as modded as well. The one I might know why (she's a hybrid alien, two mothers and I was using mods that lead to her conception) while the other two were randomly generated by the game and while I did have mods in at the time they were saved, when I overhaul a base template for my sims, I remove all mods//cc which has never caused a problem (the one mother for the alien hybrid was born during a modded game, but when I saved her for long term use and upload to the Gallery, she wasn't labeled as modded during her overhaul without mods//cc), so a little puzzled, not sure if it's due to some under the hood changes made to the game recently or (for the three other sims) something within their data that's the source which I've yet to figure out how to track down.
