The problem is it doesn’t seem to be connected to Eco Lifestyle itself, because I never owned this pack and flickering of rocks happens in my game in certain neighborhoods as well, even in base game Willow Creek. Some worlds are free of this like Oasis Spring or San Myshuno, but Brindleton Bay has all but one neighborhood affected (the one where vet clinic is seems to be fine). Someone made the list of neighborhoods affected before in this thread and I can confirm this is correct. The issue is not as bad as I can see from players showing Evergreen Harbor but it is annoying. I think one of the earlier patches caused it, but it’s hard to say which one. I think I myself started seeing this at the beginning of 2021. Sometimes the issue shows up after going into build mode in affected neighborhoods but it’s not always the case. As a result I have bunch of neighborhoods I don’t edit because I don’t want this issue to become worse. Very troublesome.

I have been able to play in Evergreen Harbor only twice because it always does this flickering and even moving to a new world it will start to do that there as well. VERY annoying!

I'm on PS5 and tried playing Evergreen Harbor last night. So much of the world was flashing. It actually hurts to play in that world. The flickering is worse now then its ever been.
I'm so disappointed.

If you reset your licenses that should fix it. You might have to do it every now and again but it does make evergreen harbour playable at least 😩

We have been fortunate for a while now not having this issue. *knocking wood*. We have done the license restore a while back, but the issue returned even after. I think the thing, to be honest, that is solving it for us MAYBE is just a periodic full console shutdown or reboot. Especially on the PS4 I nearly 100% keep it rest mode, so when it goes wonky, a restart seems to bring things back in line for that expansion. Now, it is either this or I have struck it incredibly lucky in an order in which things have been installed, or something else I’m not aware of.
