@jampreilly thank you for suggesting this because it helped me too ! I lowered my texture detail and turned off enable advanced rendering and so far that has worked for me !

Hi, I’m experiencing this issue for quite a while. Try na figure it out but it won’t go away.

Re: Help! Flashing Red in game.

@pim_artittaya  Certain lots do seem to have that effect when viewed from a particular angle.  Which lot is this: one from the game, or one you've built yourself?  Does this happen with other lots too, or only this one?  You can start a new save and place a few lots to test if you want, or just let me know which one this is and I'll take a look.

This happens with both downloaded lot and the lot from the game. It happens only in that particular area. The other download house i placed is normal.

@pim_artittaya  What area is it?  (An address and world would be great.)  Could you try placing a different default house on the lot, just to see what happens?

Sorry, I forgot to mention. It’s Moonlight Falls. It happens in several areas such as the area I attached down below.

@pim_artittaya  Alright, I'll take a look tomorrow.  (It's late here.)  In the interim, please test this in a new save.  Bulldoze the existing houses, try placing one of the simplest shacks from the in-game library, and see whether you get any red flashing.  I'm curious whether the issue is something in your save or a problem with the lots themselves.

I tried everything as you said. It seems like when I place the simplest house, nothing happens. But when I place the house I downloaded, the red flashing occurs. (All of this in a new save)

Re: Help! Flashing Red in game.

@pim_artittaya  Okay, so the house might be the issue, or else something in it.  The way the red flashing works, at least sometimes, is that it only happens from certain angles and view distances, making it seem like the underlying cause is an item being rendered only part of the time.  So if you can in fact place the house, you may be able to take it apart and remove the items or textures in question.

 

I can try this too, if you want; just let me know where you found the house.  If it's on the Exchange, feel free to link it in this thread; if it's from a third-party site, send me the link via private message.  I can't promise I'll figure out for sure what the issue is, but I'll spend some time looking.
