This appears randomly when adjusting the camera angle in both build and live mode. It's a purely visual bug as far as I can tell. Large chunks of the terrain as well as walls of buildings flicker with these lines, but it disappears whenever the camera is held still. I have tried repairing my game and removing mods and I have been having this issue for weeks.
The errors I saw on the Reliability Monitor were for the camera, which I'm aware of (the camera light was bugging so I disabled camera permissions for all apps including the camera app lol) but switching to DX9 appears to have fixed it! This bug has disappeared and come back before so I will update if it ends up showing up, but I've restarted the game a couple times and so far so good! Thank you!
Epickate99 There's nothing in your dxdiag that clearly explains this issue. Most of the errors are have to do with the camera, so not Sims 4-related, but it's possible they're crowding out any game errors. So please have a look at the Reliability Monitor and let me know whether you find anything game-related.
Click Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day. Today is on the right. Look for an error that mentions Sims 4 or that happened while you were playing. If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here. The Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away, so anything from the most recent play session might take an hour or two to show up.
Aside from that, are you playing in DirectX 9 or 11 mode? You can see in the lower-left corner of the Main Menu: it'll say DX9 or DX11 after the game version number. Try switching to the other. While Sims 4 works on your class of CPU and GPU now, the game wasn't optimized for this type of hardware, so there may be glitches here and there that don't get caught. But they might only show up in certain contexts, for example in DirectX 11 but not DX9, or vice versa.
