Restart yur computer after installing the driver and before trying to play.
If that doesn't help, please switch the game to DirectX 11 mode. Open the EA App, click Sims 4 > Manage > View properties, and add -dx11 to the command line box.

I've downloaded and successfully updated my drivers from the link you've provided. There were no errors so I proceeded with a restart and after launching a newly repaired game with a fresh Sims 4 folder with dx9, the same problem still occurred. https://youtu.be/CgSF_pxPaqI
Without saving, I exit the game and launched it again this time with the -dx11 command and in a new save. Tested to see if the issue persists and it does indeed still happens even with the -dx11 command line. https://youtu.be/GY4dsfUUnjw
I've mentioned it in another reply in this thread but I've checked multiple building stream VODs on twitch that were streamed after the latest patch (version 1.115.216.1030) and in all of them, the issue can also be seen in their games (flickering items placed in rooms when placing and deleting windows and affected doors), which led me to believe that this was a game bug introduced with the latest patch.
