For this issue:Stairs interacting with exterior trim on a deck where a flat has *not* been placed can cause flickering:
Can anyone who has reproduced it provide their graphics settings and DXDiag?
Thank you in advance for any information provided.

I've sent you a PM with the info @IrishMadCat_EA.

My flickering is crazy! I experience it with pretty much most of the background/fake buildings and it really annoys me. Could I do anything to help it?

@EmBea81 Can you post what your game graphic settings are as well as which graphics card you have? Also, can you take some video of what you're seeing?

I have flickering around the foundation and it is not always related to stairs. I have posted a video and my specs over at officials - http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/15856668#Comment_15856668

@cherpar I do not see this flickering in my game (I looked at the same lot and set my foundation to the same height), and I too use an NVidia graphics card (mine is a GTX 980 Ti). What are your graphics settings in the game?

I play in ultra graphics settings and use NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti. It's only the fake buildings in the back looking as if when u merge two items together in bb and rotate your camera.

thanks @BryonyRae I have the graphics setting on ultra, with post processing effects ticked. I have also tried the lot with vertical sync on and off in the game options but it doesn't make a difference. my computer specs are in my original post and my card is a titan thanks for your help

I downloaded one of the official bowling centers from MaxisCreator. One bowling lane is directly attached to the exterior wall and is flickering terribly in its normal state (not in Moonlight mode).

@alanmichael1 I took a look at both Maxis bowling alleys (Oasis Springs Dust Bowl that came with the pack and Bowl More Alley that can be downloaded from the gallery), and neither had flickering in my game. Which bowling lot were you using, and which lot and world did you place it on? Was there a particular time of day that you saw the flickering (and not at others, or was it constant)? If you haven't already, try temporarily removing your mods (if you use them), clearing your cache, repairing the game via Origin, and starting a new save. Test in that save to see whether you still see the flickering, and let us know.
