Lots and Rooms Randomly Marked as "Modded"

Since the latest patch, lots and rooms I try to save to my library or upload to the gallery are being marked as "Modded" even if they don't have any custom content. This happens even if I try to save a completely empty lot or a room that's just four dry walls with no objects. I thought a mod might be causing the problem, so I tried renaming my Mods folder (so the game would load without any mods at all) and the problem still persisted.

  • Did you try a complete rename of the user folder too ?

    I know that if you have pictures of modded content also counts as modded but empty rooms should not.

    I tried renaming the main The Sims 4 folder and then transferring my main save over, but it didn't work at first. I then tried creating a new save after returning from the main menu and it still didn't work. Finally, I tried closing the game, reopening it and then starting another new save, and it worked then, so it appears the problem must have been some kind of save corruption issue that persists throughout the session. I'm still not sure exactly what caused it in the first place though.

    There's many bugs that persist throughout sessions if you don't close the game. I think it might have something to do with the autosave.

    When testing something, always shut down the game completely, then start a new/different game.

    After going through each room in build mod to find out what I had that could possibly have become modded when all I had done was add 2 tubs, 2 toilets, and 2 sinks from Vampires, and finally deleting each room 1 by 1 until I found the room with the "mod" I discovered that nasty mod ... it's called any "Get Together Closet".  So, EA Modded their own game!.  Delete the closets, no more mod marker when saving a lot.  :waves @crinrict  Been awhile, good to see you here!

    Workaround, but this is a fix only EA can do ...

    Could you please create a new thread for this. This one is REALLY REALLY REALLY old and doesn't use the bug template.

    Also please include a picture of the closet and if you tested all swatches.

    Thanks.

    I'll do some more testing later today, and sure, I can start a new thread. :-)

    @crinrictOops, my bad ... found the culprit, and it's another Mod I have, finding out from the creator later why, but, oops!  Never mind, move along, nothing to see here, move along ...
