Not so Random plots, Blacklisted plans still build

So I remember in SS1 when you turned Designer's Choice off for the RoTC city plans a random plot (from mod-added plot addon packs) of the same type would be built instead, yay good times!

In SS2, I've started many new games in the past several weeks, waiting to use city plans till finishing "Who Can? ASAM!" to properly unlock them, and using either a default SS2 city plan or RoTC for each settlement. But I'm finding that literally 9 times out of 10 ALL these city plans (no matter if they are RoTC or generic city plans) are defaulting to using Kinggath's plots, even though I have at least 8 plot addon packs. I'm also finding that even after blacklisting plans, they are still being built and still show up in the manual choice list. This happens with Designer's Choice both On and Off - mostly Off because that should guarantee a random plot. I also have the option to ban blacklisted plans from ever showing up in any list enabled.

So why are all these different city plans mainly ONLY using the "generic" Kinggath plots? Am I missing some setting to truly get 100% random mod-added plots? Also, why am I still seeing blacklisted plots building and being listed? And don't get me wrong, Kinggath's plots are creative/good plots, but when you see the same plots getting built over and over again you really need those addon packs :P
 
I've pared down my installed addon packs to 5 total and disabled RoTC, hoping this will somehow help with getting random plots... But still no idea why blacklisted plots still show up. And just to check, what are ALL the options I need to disable/enable to ensure I get more random addon pack plots?
