New Item Highlight not going away for several categories in Buy/Build

Seems the affected sub categories are

Activities and Skills - Outdoor Activities

Kids - Kids Activities, Misc

Appliances - Misc

Off-the-Grid - Outdoor Activities

I've got the same and used your tips (Thanks a lot!)

Now the stars are gone. I once had a similiar problem when new swatches were added. 

That still works ? Thought they changed the values and I didn't update yet .. but maybe I did.

Thanks for checking  :D

I'm having the exact same issue! Same categories and all! Can't make them go away 😭

My C.D.O. will not allow me to get over this. (C.D.O. is like O.C.D. but the letters are alphabetical - the way they should be).  Anywho, since the update, there are "yellow" or "highlighted" sections in objects - indicating new objects.  Well, I cannot find them.  I am looking in business venues.  I am looking in every venue.  I am cheating to unlock everything.  I typed in debug, you name it.  THEY ARE NOT THERE.  Am I missing something?  

Some categories in buildbuy are saying there are new items but I haven't installed any new packs since Adventure awaits and they weren't highlighted before the update. Individual items aren't highlighted and at the top of the category like normal new items. I believe its the playground equipment but I've been through and placed all playground items on a lot even though the individual items are not highlighted and still this problem persists. 

This problem occured when mods were disabled after the update, when I reenabled mods and when I disabled them to troubleshoot the problem. There is no difference between saves.  

I think this is related to the following event. At least the categories match the rewards on the event card that was posted the other day.

When I am in build buy There are two categories that are highlighted and there is nothing new. This came up after the 12/2/25 update. I am unsure what to do I have no CC/Mods installed and I just repaired game after another issue popped up. Repair fixed one issue but this is still there.. Please advise. attached are two screen shots dated in bottom right.
