is this a third-party saddle?

long story short, a free taylor 114ce guitar passed down to me from someone who moved out of the country.

i currently live in Vietnam. the action feels pretty high, i took this guy to a repair shop in Vietnam and the repair guy said he can sand down the saddle but it would ruin the guitar's sound and value (it's a pretty expensive brand here and they don't have replacement parts readily available)

my guess is the previous owner replaced the saddle already. it doesn't look like the same material as the nut. seems like plastic and not tusq. safe to sand down?

edit: so i pulled the saddle out and it's white at the bottom, looks like tusq and original but just yellowed as other people said. now I just need to figure out how to go about repairing this guy

2004 Fallin Furni Simulator

Been a while since I got back on this game. Had to ask my parents for $20 when I played it back in 2004, and now I decided to use my grown-up money. I tried to recreate the quintessential "Fallin Furni" room as I remember it in my head. Not a remake of any specific, but of a memory. Most likely the one I remember my sister and I spending the most time in. Once I was done I decided to experiment with Wired and create an automatic Fallin Furni simulator. Obviously not very playable but it's enough to give you the vibe.
