I created a homebrew background using Criminal as the basis. I've edited/deleted everything, but the player still has the option to choose proficiency in a gaming set.
That's the thing, the gaming set is gone from the list of MODIFIERS, but the player still has the dropdown to choose during character creation. Screenshots below.
Sorry for the necromancy, but I'm having the exact same issue right now.
I duplicated 'Soldier', and am trying to customize it to be 'Eldritch Soldier', tailored for an Eldritch Knight. I've completely deleted all my Tools and started over, and that bloody Gaming Set is still stubbornly showing up.
I am having the same issue with my mercenary medic veteran. I built it off of the mecenary veteran background and swapped out the persuasion for medicine, and pulled the game set of choice proficiency and replaced it with herbalism kit proficiency, then I pulled the game set from the equipment given for this background and replaced it with the herbalism kit. Finally I reflavored the description to reflect the medical skills of the background. Now in the character creation or editing screen that background still makes me choose a gaming set, though the gaming set doesn't appear as a skill on my finished character sheet or in my beginning equipment. To my knowledge the menu pop-up is just a visual anomaly still in creation but doesnt carry anything over to the finished character. I started coping it word for word to a brand new background and did it all but the traits ideals bonds and flaws without the gameset menu pop up in creation. The problem to my knowledge is one that then only exists for basing a homebrew background on a pre-existing one option. My background is public so you can see it happening for yourself in character creation.
As it says in the title.

I can't seem to find why. Where am I going wrong?

D&D Beyond FoundersProficiency with a Gaming Set of choice is a MODIFIER.
If you click on the MODIFIERS section to expand it, you should be able to delete this modifier from there.

Can you confirm if this is still happening. This may just be an issue of caching, and should resolve itself pretty quickly after the update.
Do you have a link to the homebrew background and the character its happening on?

D&D Beyond FoundersMight be an earlier version of the item, before you removed the modifier?
We can't see the screenshots - maybe upload to an image sharing site and provide a link?

I'm having the same issue with a homebrew background based on Urban Bounty Hunter.
I removed both gaming set/musical instrument proficiencies, yet they still show up in the character builder.
I homebrewed the background Saturday.

I haven't made it public, so let me know if I need to do that before you can view it, but here's the link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/backgrounds/1050-drifter
And here's the character using it: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/RoxyTart/characters/535267
Let me know if these links to the screenshots don't work: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ttPd24Wcm2NM8ucN2 and https://photos.app.goo.gl/j311W2aE5WhJrsbe2

Is this just a caching thing that will go away in a day or so?
