I've been noticing that as well whenever I go into Build Mode recently.

I’ve had this bug as well, also tried with only base game and it still occurs.

This issue is also occurring for me, it bugs me a bit too since there’s not anything new there for me.
Just change one of the lot settings and it will be gone.
Can confirm this has stopped on Xbox Series X after adding the new pack. But I'd really like to see an end to any flickering/glowing/flashing things of this nature. We've asked for that for quite some time and there are some serious reasons for that. But at least this is no longer an issue, for me at least.

I'm waiting to buy the new pack because I don't want to buy things until EA can fix their issues. This is getting goofy. So many issues because of a pack.

I'm having trouble ever since the first march 2025 update came and with Build/buy mode. After the first update that gave us a lot challenge, Heist Havoc, reintroducing burglars; my Venue button the little house looking thing in the upper left hand conner hasn't stopped flashing! I get distracted easily and this is so noticeable i put tap over part of my monitor so I could build and not get to overstimulated. It's honestly not the biggest problem but there's another person who also had this same issue who posted recently but the comments on the post are turned off?!? So no one can offer a solution or say the same thing is happening to them? I hope that after the most recent update the flashing would stop but its still there! A friend told me that last update was for the new business's and hobbies pack so maybe the flashing will stop if I download the new pack but that shouldn't be the solution it doesn't really even make any cents but I've tried everything at this point. Honestly I was going to buy the new pack but I'm gonna buy it just to be frustrated with the flashing little house in the conner! Has anyone else had this issue?

I have dyslexia so I'm sorry if this is hard to read: basically the Venue button keeps flashing even after I interacted with it and the new lot challenge and its annoying me!

This is happening to me too, literally uninstalled and reinstalled my entire game to try and fix it and it still persists 😭 it genuinely distracts me so much
