@puderosasims I can confirm the flickering in my game, and the cause is that the stairs are placed on tile out from the connecting foundation, which creates a flickering effect on the walls of that tile that separates them from the block on foundation.  The workaround for this is to place the stairs fully onto the block of foundation rather than one tile out.  I think this issue is a result of changes in the terrain tools patch, and the Discotheque Pan Europa lot was designed prior to that patch and thus suffers from the issue.  Until there is a fix, I would just alter the stairs on that lot.  Will add to our list.
