i thought it might be related to the last patch however after the new patch it's still there, graphics card is fully updated, I don't have any script mods.
I have also tried a vanilla game no cc whatsoever and it's still there even in a new game.
EDIT (crin): Added pic directly to the post.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@CoffeyN7 which lot is your sim on and in which world? I haven't been able to pinpoint that view in my game.

It's the 50/40 lot on the cliff ridge in Del Sol Valley, the pinnacles, the one in front of the 64/64 lot The house you see is one I made not EA.

I have the exact same problem with the lot in the pinnacles.
The glitch occurs in my game also at the other houses in the pinnacles.
There is also a glitch without going to CAS: only on the side the background disapears, when I move the camera. This happens the whole time when I play.
I wonder, if these are bugs or other problems.
I tried this in a fresh vanilla game.

I think it's a major bug considering people are having rendering issues on laptops, I have also noticed the billboards flickering on the buildings when I move the camera or the buildings themselves flickering like mad, I updated my graphics card today as there was a new one out, however the problem still persists.
November 2018
Yes, it seems to be a bug. I also updated my grafic card but no changes.
Now I see the flickering billboards too...

I re-tried a vanilla game, no cc at all, I noticed when starting a build in the other neighbourhood the sky was glitching again, not even been to cas, reloaded went to cas and it's there again, this is obviously a major bug, my graphics is fully updated as is my game obviously, I have a 8GB ROG Strix 1080 (Nvidia) along with 64gb DDR5 memory, so to me that is more than enough to run the game, I also play other games flawlessly, so this world was not play tested in my book just rushed out as per usual.
December 2018
So, lets hope they fix it in the upcoming patch.
My PC system (Intel Core i7-3770 CPU 3,40 GHz, RAM 16 GB, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660) is also not that bad, to cause such problems.
The grapic card is fully updated.

What is your current game version number? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALL
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Pan around and look at the background world. Just two that I've tested so far is Windenburg, Del Sol Valley, and San Myshuno, and it happens in both. Very distracting.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is a weird cone where it looks like two skylines are in the same space, and as you pan the camera, you can see one skyline overtaking the other (video included).
What do you expect to see? One, smooth skyline.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
It's really not easy to describe. You'll have to watch the video. It has a weird bubble like second skyline in the immediate line of sight and a different skyline in peripheral sights, and you can clearly see them, as the camera moves around. I have tested with out mods and cc and it is exactly the same.
It could be in more worlds, I'll go test that later, but as of now, it for sure happens in San Myshuno, Del Sol Valley, and Windenburg. The video of it is in Del Sol Valley.
