Well I didn't go with a in-depth removal of the previous nvdia driver, just un-installed it. But before trying an earlier version of the Radeon driver, I did a more thorough job, uninstalled, removed the inf and the registry keys. So I'm probably fine.
Which driver was your friend upgrading from?
Same card as mine, (There was a thanksgiving sale :p) I want to say that it was 8.8 maybe. The issue was that they wanted to update to 9.2, well, there were like three other drivers files still there.

Thanks to the advice in this thread, I set smooth edges to low and got the crib bedding back. I had fought with that for weeks and could find nothing. Now, however, I get the flickering. It goes away if I set the edges back to high, but so does the bedding. Damn!

I tried three versions of drivers and none of them fixed the issue, so I fixed this problem the old fashioned way. I returned the damn card to the store and got an Nvidia instead

I have a raedon and I was having the same problem. When I would try to build a house and place an item in it, it would disappear and come back in a second. I was advisded by someone to go to an older driver and I have not had a problem since.
Mine is not as fancy as yours, I only have an ATI radeon HD 3450 but I went from a 9. something driver to 8.4930.
That is what worked for me. Good luck. :)

I replaced the card with a 9800 GTX. I had to pay an extra 65$ as it's a more expensive card but it works flawlessly. I can now enjoy again sharp textures instead of fuzzy ones. Aikea Guinea stuff looks sooooo good with this card. I've even started ditching some of the more crappy cc that simply does not look acceptable anymore.
My next step is to try bigger houses to see how much my card can handle. I always had to restrict myself to little lots in the past.
This new card is making the game fun again.
