walls and fences are flickering when they are drawn

The issue I'm having is a flicker when drawing a wall or a fence. As shown in the video I attached, I am trying to draw a wall across the room, but it flickers in another direction. It started a while back, probably a couple months ago, but I ignored this bug because I wasn't a builder then, until recently when I really noticed the how often it happened when I build. I have tried repairing the game though the EA app and also creating a new user folder to see if the issue occurs in an entirely new save, nothing helped resolve the issue. I don't know if this information is relevant, but I also tried using a different mouse (because I thought it was related) but it also didn't help. I checked on my laptop and I don't have any issues there, so it seems like a PC issue. Any ideas how to resolve this bug? game version 1.103.250.1020 No mods or CC are installed.

    @viktoriaame Have you refreshed your game folder recently? It can't hurt: Exit Sims 4 then drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4 and reset your Options. Test a new save before starting to copy previous files into the new folders.

    Sorry, I see this now. And does it happen on a new save? And in editing a base-game build?

    Thanks. I asked some people who spend a lot more time in build mode than I do, and they say it's fairly normal. Sometimes they shift the camera to make sure that things are ending up where they want.
