Weird graphical glitch showing random windows everywhere

As the title says I'm getting this weird bug where it looks like window objects are randomly showing up everywhere. 
As a fix, I've tried repairing my game, deleting caches and then restoring the deleted cache, disabling mods, loading older saves, and restarting my PC but nothing has worked so far. 
I've attached images of the glitch happening in game.

I'd really appreciate the help because I've tried everything and its still appearing.
Thanks🙂

    Sorry for not replying in forever. I kinda just gave up and used dx9 as a solution. But I've come back and tried it again after more new patches, and I'm still getting the same glitches. After more testing, it looks like switching between exclusive fullscreen and borderless fullscreen fixes most of the graphical issues, but then alt-tabbing in and out messes it up again. I've attached a dxdiag, but I'm not sure if that would be an issue because I know my GPU supports dx11 and 12, and I also update my graphics drivers regularly. I tried saving the lot to my gallery and bulldozing it to put it back, but that didn't work either. It does seem only to be an issue with that lot, though, because none of my other lots have the graphical issue. I also don't think it's an issue with CC because I've tried disabling all CC, and the glitches still happen.

    @LOGSTER9999  That still shouldn't happen.  If you use custom content, the creators might need to update some of your items for DX11, or Sims4Studio's batch fix tool might be able to address the issue.  EA-made items shouldn't have this kind of problem though, and if they do, I'd still like to see a dxdiag in case this is a graphics driver issue or something else going on with your system.

    So after some testing, I think it's just an issue with dx11 because all the graphical issues go away once I turn it back to dx9.
