My Giltchy Invisible Sims are back!
DrNerd:
I don't think it's an issue with the skins. I've never seen a skin problem cause invisible Sims before, and if it WERE a skin issue, other lots should be showing the same problems, and they're not. The other three lots full of extracted Legacy Sims are fine, as are every household I've checked in my Legacy 'hood, Strangetown (where I've been playing an Asylum), and my custom 'hood. In the backup of my Alpha 'hood, I think the problem stemmed from one Sim who also glitched badly in the Alpha 'hood--somehow he got corrupted and that spread to several Sims he knew, but at the time, that was the LEAST of my worries before I reverted to the glitchy backup. It seems like a character file corruption that's spreading, and since I've never played those lots, they don't know anyone but their roommates. But I don't know how I could have gotten a corrupted file in a Sim I've never played, on a lot I've never played, in a neighborhood I rarely open!

I also have TJ's Crystal Ball, Squinge's Hula and More, Decorgal's Pose and Animation Hacks, CEP, and the InSimenator (NOT the kitten-killer, TYVM), and the Lot Debugger, obviously. I discovered the problem while I was playing my Asylum, so a good portion of those hacks had been pulled, and a lot of them weren't in place in my Alpha 'hood backup at all, when this issue first hit. I can't think of any reason why that collection of hacks and mods would cause this problem, but if that's the cause of it, I'd love to know.
Diala:
Have you tried uninstalling everything completely (keeping a backup of the neighborhoods, downloads, lots, and everything else of importance, of course), then reinstalling from scratch? I have a feeling it may be due to an important game file corrupting, possibly during installation/patching.
I know it is the EAxian solution to everything, but it is the only thing I can think of that may resolve this.

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.
Could be character file corruption caused by something you have had in your user data files; therefore pulling your custom content may not help. If it's only confined to the one neighbourhood then this looks likely. If it were game data problems (objects.package or skins files damaged) I'd expect to see it in all hoods.

That's my thinking as well--if it were a corruption in the game files, I'd see the problem in all of my neighborhoods, and certainly in more than just one lot, or at the very least, with Sims who had no relationship to each other. The fact that this has happened in what is essentially a virgin neighborhood, on one lot, to Sims who ONLY know their roommates, make me think it's some sort of glitch at the level of a character, but I'm at a loss as to how a Sim I've never played on a lot I've rarely opened, in a neighborhood I rarely open, could have gotten glitched!
A way to restore them would be ideal, in case this DOES happen in a 'hood I need. I've tried everything I can think of to get them back, and I've run out of ideas.
