Admittedly, I'm a bit OCD - so having this indicator never go away is driving me insane.

I've tried all of the available skin tones, all of the available preset faces (the only two subcategories in this section) to no avail.  It still acts like there are new items available in the categories.  I've spoken to other simmers who have the same issue, just with different sections of create-a-sim.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I made a thread about that earlier:  https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Highlighting-of-Bodies-and-Skin-Tone-in-CAS/td-p/8663010 

You can 'me too' that if you like 😉 

Here is a work around for it: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Highlighting-of-new-items-stuck/m-p/5014388/highlight/true#M18313

When I play in create a sim or build mode, it shows that I have new items from, I’m guessing, expansions that I’ve purchased. But when I try to see what they are I can’t find them. It keeps showing me that I have new items but it won’t let me see them... like they are “hidden”. I’ll send pics so you can see how there is an alert for new items but they aren’t showing up. 

@Samikikojoy There is a current bug thread on this issue. Your post should be moved to the bug thread soon.

If there are objects in build mode and you have strangerville, check the armadillo and sock puppet color swatches.

@PoptartJuniper I’ll try this, because I think it will help with the build mode bug going on. But what about the skin tone in create a sim? I don’t see how the searches of a build mode item would help with the skin tones in my create a sim.

Edit: swatches

@Samikikojoy  Your issue with the swatches has been added to the bug report. Please click in the Me Too on the bug report. There isn't anything else you can do for the skin swatches at this time. 

@crinrict  Thank you, It helped me with decor and kid stuff and now in my build mode everything's ok (it was all about two items from StrangerVille).

But now what I have left is the problem with CAS.

I've tried to click on everything's that there, but it's still here.

Yep, having the same issue. It's not like it's a big deal or breaks the game or anything.. but I still find it weirdly annoying.
