If you save your game with your custom content removed, anything that has reverted will then stay that way. Walls and floors using custom wallpapers and floor coverings will go bare, and any areas of ground that were using custom ground covers will flash blue. Any objects in your sims' homes will disappear or revert to defaults - so where you might have had some plastic plants, you might suddenly have a cluster of statues, etc. Once you have removed your custom content, everything that was using custom content will look wrong - any sims with custom skins or hair will have default skins and hair.
