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

I looked through these categories on different lot types, with testingcheats on, bb.showhiddenobjects and still I just kind find what's new. These markers showed up after the latest update (2 dec. 2025) before then my list was clear from stars. Play on PC, never used mods or CC.

Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title for easier finding

Same issue here. It's either the fairy pack and/or Adventure awaits. No matter going through each and every item (even the "locked items") nothing gets it to go away....

Off-the-Grid all have stars next to them. I have restarted my game three times between saves, painstakingly went through *every* new items swatch, but it still remains, without highlighting what the supposed "New item!" Is.

Any advice/help please?
