Wonky Colored Question Mark Tiles

Actually, this makes perfect sense. I played Goth Manor through three generations with no riddler tiles whatsoever anywhere. Now I have them in all three places (Goth, Wolff, and Museum), even in a new hood where I have never played any of the aforementioned lots of doom. I do not download many things, so it actually is easy for me to try and narrow this down.
Would you please, Snowbawl, and let us know what you find? Perhaps we all have the same cc download file that is causing this. I'm afraid I have too much already. I love custom content (since the Sims 2 days, when I had tons more than is currently available for Sims 3) and hence have probably overdone it again!
Thanks in advance!
LVRugger:
I have no clue if I get the ? tiles at the Goth's or Wolfe's, but I know that the art gallery is full of them. I can help narrow it down in cc (if that is indeed the case). I have only downloaded:
- most of the store hairs
- some hairs from MTS (all by HP)
- penis mesh
- nude mesh (HP)
- some patterns from MTS (stone and granite)
- buyable fish spawners from MTS
- twallan's pollinator
- buzzler's mirror
- lockable door from MTS
- male pregnancy clothes from pudding factory
- teen pregnancy clothes from MTS
That's it. I'm not much of a cc accumulator. I'm at work, but I can get the exact list in the morning.
Tingeling:
I think we can rule out the cc then. Unless it does something weird to the game files, which I do not believe is the casem but I'm not much of a modder and as such have no idea what is happening. But, compairing LVRuggers list with my own compiled list of cc, we have no cc in common at all. It must have been something else that was causing this. A new plague? Plus, according to gelfling the tiles even appears on the road. I don't have any mods changing how the roads should appear.
If there is a file that has become corrupted somehwere in the game, how do you find it? Deleting the caches didn't seem to work; I did that yesterday. Neither does reinstalling the game, according to some people here. As I said before, this baffles me to no end.
Simsample:
There have already been people in this thread with no CC except for store content who have said they've had a problem, so I don't think it's CC either. It might be helpful though to know what game version people are running, whether the hood is started from a 'clean' template or not and whether they have in the past had any custom content or core mods in game. I'm trying to think of the types of situations which could possibly cause data corruption of any kind. For example, I am fully patched (1.4.6) and my game contains only store items, but I recently added Twallan's supercomputer which I used to 'fire all NPCs' and remove a stuck car. My 55-week old hood which has no problems is started from the original Maxis templates, and has no 'riddler' tiles, nor have I ever had error 12 or 13 when saving (in case it's relevant). All subsequent hoods seem to suffer from no riddler tiles too, although I have not played another for so long. I have altered and played the wolf house, but only visited the Goth and Art lots.
Also I just thought of this: Sunset Valley by default uses the Sunsetvalley.objectcache in Program Files \Electronic Arts \The Sims 3 \Caches. It is worth deleting that one and replacing it with a fresh copy off the install disc; I think the size should be 979kb 979Mb.

My game is fully patched. For me the riddler tiles did not appear until after the latest patch.
I used awesomemod to 'destroy all humans' before I added any families of my own. I have riddler tiles in the Goth and Wolff houses, and had them in the art gallery until I bulldozed it and replaced it with a gallery I built myself. I've never seen the riddler tiles appear anywhere else except for the Goth and Wolff houses, and the art gallery. My new art gallery has never had the problem. My Goth house is occupied, my Wolff house is not.
I also have a Sunset Valley I use just to build houses. I emptied that hood with awesomemod and have never placed an families back into it, and it also has the riddler tiles in the Wolff and Goth houses, and had them in the art gallery until I bulldozed it.
I have never even entered the Wolff house in these neighborhoods. I haven't entered the Goth house in the build neighborhood, but I did in my play neighborhood. I added some beds to it before I moved a family in, but I didn't touch the walls or floors, or alter anything in CAST.
