Uploading vanilla houses?

He has no peers. Only minions, groupies, and hangers-on. 

Hm...makes me wonder if I'm a minion, groupie, or hanger-on...

I guess groupie can be scratched right out, if you're going with the version of groupie I'm familiar with.

I actually wonder whether the in-game option to disable custom content would also work, or is it, like so much else, bugged?

I think that option only disable the custom content in the game so you cannot use it, it does not stop it from being packaged with any lots.

It does indeed do that, I tested it.

I do this for the houses I upload.  I thought it was easier than yanking out the download folder, the collection folder, and the camera folder every time I felt the urge to just build.

Do the special cameras tag along when you package as well? I like being able to see the whole neighborhood, whether I'm building or playing, but... bleh if they tag.

I only yank the downloads folder, and when checking it in Clean Installer, I see only the lotsegment portion - nothing else seems to get packaged in.

IF you're talking about GunMod's stuff, it's not a "mod" in the sense that it resides in the download folder. You are actually overwriting some text files in the text files that control the camera. I would highly doubt any of that would be picked up when packaging something as it's not something the game would expect to be part of a lot, object or sim.  But, just my guess....

I would say that the only way to be sure things like the special camera don't get packaged would be to package your house in the normal way, then remove every custom item from your folder, then install the house with clean installer and check that the camera etc. have not been installed with it.

[BlueSoup]

It doesn't get included in the package for lot packaging.  When I packaged my lot, the only thing that remained was the lotsegmentforupload, and the only thing I removed was the Downloads folder.  I have Gunmod's camera and lighting mods in my game, and those were not included.

For future reference, the CEP file doesn't get sucked into the lot package either.

Makes you wonder why that doesn't, yet global hacks do, when they're all basically the same type of file!
