My Giltchy Invisible Sims are back!
DrNerd:
So, back in March, my Legacy 'hood went BFBVFS. I'd made a backup, but five Sims (four of whom were indispensable) were glitchy and invisible and nothing could un-glitch them and bring them back. I was forced to rebuild 4 generations of my Legacy from scratch.
Now it's happening again. I have all EPs through Seasons, and H&M, and I'm all patched up. The 'hood in question is thankfully NOT my main neighborhood this time, but rather a dummy 'hood I created where I could dump extracted Legacy Sims and Legacy lots (binned unoccupied) where they could remain for all time, unplayed and unglitched and ready to be extracted should anything horrible happen to my main 'hood again. I haven't done DAC or anything, or even played any of the lots beyond opening them to take shots of former Sims and spouses to re-create Legacy portraits.
This is what I'm dealing with:
There are seven Sims living on this lot. The entire lot is visible. The Sims... eh, not so much. And this is AFTER using the Lot Debugger to Force Error On All. The thumbnails are all there, I can change which Sim is active (not that it matters one bit). The plumbbob flashes in and out. Any actions I attempt to have the Sims do immediately fades from the queue. Their motives don't decay, so they won't die and I can't resurrect them. Because they can't interact with anything, I can't kill them, and if I summon another Sim to the lot, make them selectable, and try to have them kill the invisible Sims, the invisibles don't show up on a pie menu option at all. If I save and exit, the lot shows up as unoccupied, and they will disappear from the neighborhood in SimPE.
If I Summon them to another lot or attempt to Add Neighbor To Family, nothing happens. If I move them out of the lot from Neighborhood View and into that lot or any other, it's just as empty as this one.
I don't care about this neighborhood at all; it's a dummy 'hood, and I can easily trash it and extract the Sims from the main 'hood and create another dummy 'hood for them to live in. I would just really, really like to know why this keeps happening and what I can do to bring these Sims back in case it DOES happen in my main 'hood again. This glitch killed my Legacy once and if it's happening in a neighborhood I never play, that does not give me happy feelings about the odds of it happening in a 'hood I DO play. And, let's face it--Second Total Legacy Rebuild: DO NOT WANT.
Error Logs attached.
Any and all help much appreciated.
Simsample:
Do you have a skin controller in game, or maybe clothing controller? The game cannot set the skin for the sims.
DrNerd:
Nope, skins are all EAxis. Problem still occurs with hacks and downloads removed, so it's not a conflict there, and none of those Sims are/were decked out with CC, at any rate. I also don't have a skin or clothing controller.
The hacks I have are either Awesome or Awesome-via-TwoJeffs, aside from InSim.
leaths:
I'm just basically pulling this out of thin air, but do you think that since this keeps occurring that you might have some curruption in one of your game files? If it's erroring on setting skins, maybe comparing the size of the skins.package file on your pc to the one on the game disk might be helpful.
J. M. Pescado:
Nothing we have here can cause this error. Once again, I point the blame squarely at tight pants.
