Same here. I went through all the lot types, even clicked on the special tabs for tiny home lots, haunted house lots, restaurants and the like and yet there's still a flashing icon. The bug only appeared after I deleted my game folder and started afresh.

This is happening in my game as well. I refreshed my profile folder, and even made an Excel file listing all the lot types in all the worlds I own, went there and 'un-shined' all the sub-icons visible under the main 'house' icon on all those lot types by clicking on them (question mark / cog icons), but the main house icon still keeps flashing.
From what I can see on various youtubers' videos, some have this issue recently, some don't. It is a minor issue, but can be quite distracting at times.

Same issue on consoles version too.

I also did the same thing where I restored my save and tray files and then had the glow. around the venue info symbol when in build mode. I reinstalled an entire old version of the EA folder that I had saved on an external drive that it fixed the issue for me but I've seen comments that this is an issue on console as well and this solution clearly will not work for those in that situation. I know it's not a game breaking issue but it was very distracting.

There must be something in that old set of files that was ommitted in the newer versions, and now the game doesn't know everything 'new' has already been clicked.
At this point I just wish someone would share their 'old' user folder with me, but I guess there could be privacy/security concerns here, as I'm not 100% sure if these files don't contain any sensitive personal data.

I really hope this gets fixed soon...if someone has a copy of what I should have to replace to get it to fix it, please send. If not I understand.

I'm still waiting as well. Only long-time simmers have this working as intended... (Simsie, James Turner, Deligracy, Gryphi, etc....).

I'm on PC, recently had to reinstall the game and started having this issue.
I think I found a way to fix it:
<prefix>#viewedflairextension_bblotinfopanel#boolean = truewhere <prefix> is the same number that all other entries in this [uiaccountsettings] section have.
If anyone else is willing to try, let me know if it works but make sure to back up the file before editing just in case.
It solved the issue for me at least!
