Visual Glitches on Mac?
Hello! About a week ago, my game started glitching badly. Weird lines and flickering started appearing all over the screen in both CAS and gameplay mode. Here are a couple of videos showing the issue...

Much better, thanks!
Does it happen if you play in windowed mode rather than fullscreen? If it does, make the game window smaller by dragging a corner so you can see the desktop behind. Does it happen across the entire display or only in the game window?
Please post a screenshot of your in-game graphics options.

It happens in both windowed mode and fullscreen, and only in the game window. Here's a screenshot of my graphics options (I only changed it into fullscreen and toggled vertical sync, otherwise I used the default settings):
I've already tried reducing the quality and toggling edge smoothing but nothing seems to help ☹️ I wonder if this issue is related the latest update...
It didn't start immediately after any update (neither Apple's nor the Sims'), I was just wondering if one of them could've impacted the game, since it had been working well beforehand. I've run Apple Diagnostics and my computer doesn't seem to be the problem. I also updated the game today with the latest patch but the problem persists.

Yes, either update could have affected your game although I doubt an OS update did. The only way you would have known is to do one update, then try to launch the game, then do the other update.
Do you have Game Mode enabled when playing in fullscreen? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105118
