Lighting flickering in build mode
Hello, It started about a week ago. I tried everything I could think of. My whole screen starts to flicker black at a particular zoom level. I have seen forum threads on that issue, but only for Mac...

TheKinaQueen For the second video at least, it looks like the lighting of the grass is different zoomed in vs. zoomed out, and you've found the spot where the game can't decide how much light to apply. That doesn't mean it isn't an issue, but is this the only viewing distance at which you see the flashing? What View Distance are you using in the graphics settings, and does the problem go away at a different setting?
Please also provide a dxdiag, for reference. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
Hi. I was finally able to sit at my computer and log in here today, tried to open Sims to do what you said, and the EA app decided to auto update my game (even though i had the setting off), I have internet issues at the moment and this will likely take a couple of hours, so I don't know when I will be able to open the game.
It is the only distance I see the flashing at, but there are other lighting issues in this save (such as weird shadows appearing on objects placed outside with nothing around them).
As for the DxDiag file, here it is.
The issue might indeed come from my settings, because I have two Sims 4 folders, and it only happens with one of them that I have noticed. Hopefully I can test some different settings later in the week.
