Have a look at that video/topic there -->

Pink flashing is an issue with texture memory handling, often worsened by anything that makes the game work harder (shaders, shadows, reflections, lots of CC, large lots with a lot of CC, high-poly meshes, large textures, and so forth - including some issues with a Win10 update that messed around a bit too much with how the OS managed 32-bit games). The game goes into memory overload and dumps the texture memory to make room for more (including maxis textures), so technically there's a lot of temporarily "missing" textures. Reloading the game, sometimes also the entire computer may fix the problem there and then. Doing the fixes mentioned in the video above can help in general, particularly the 4GB fix, but if you have Win10 you may want to do the rest, too.
Actually missing textures, or missing master meshes for slaved items tend to be just one or two buy mode items flashing blue (accessories can also flash blue for a couple reasons). I think red flashing may be a shader issue (but I'm not sure because I've never seen it in my game).
