Missing body while bathing/bathing in shirts? FIXED.
laylei:
I'm having a small problem with my game that has become a major frustration. Since since installing Ambitions, whenever adult females (possibly elders as well, but I have not played any; teen and child girls have no problem) showered or bathed, their bodies were invisible. They had a head, hands and feet but everything else was gone. I finally decided to try and fix it tonight, and have had no luck. Instead, things have gotten even weirder.
Here is an example of how my game has been. At first, I thought maybe something was wrong with my default replacement skins, so I re-downloaded and re-installed them, with no change (I deleted the caches every time). Then I removed my packages folder, except for Awesomemod, deleted caches, reloaded the game, and had the same problem (see here, still missing the body, but with EA skin and makeup).
After this, I thought maybe it was Awesomemod's censor remover that was making things screwy, so I disabled the M and F censors and downloaded the No Mosaic mod linked from the Pudding Factory, put my packages back in, deleted caches and restarted. Here is where things got really weird- my females now had bodies, they were just covered up top with a shirt. I made a new, clean Test neighborhood and made a female sim take a bath (result here). I don't even know what that shirt is. I looked through my launcher-installed stuff, and my clothing packages, but I have nothing that matches that shirt. I tried removing my default replacement skins, removing clothing packages, but nothing changed it, so finally I removed everything but the Mosaic remover mod, deleted caches, and chose another never played household to test (see here). As you can see, she's naked on the bottom, but has the same shirt (in different colors, even) on as Agnes Crumplebottom "wore" when naked.
I honestly don't know what to do at this point, other than to live with the mosaic. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had to laugh at that last picture of that sim Porky Piggin it.
Anyhow, did you try temporarily yanking out the My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache and My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCBackup folders? That's where all the launcher installed crap goes. Some of those borked Sims3packs can do some truly weird shit like making sims invisible or stretching babies out to big sticks. Also, you don't have to have downloaded those borked items directly as they can stow away in other sims3pack files ala the evil doll.
There's some info here at the Exchange about corrupt improperly created custom content from sims3packs that causes problems. In particular, apparently some people create their custom clothing and mark it internally as 'nude' causing sims to bath with clothes on.

If everything was fine before installing Ambitions, it sounds like something hasn't been updated. Just because you re-downloaded the default replacements doesn't mean they will automatically work, if they hadn't been updated for AMB then you will have problems. Check that everything has been updated for AMB and try again.
Have you tried simply removing the replacement skins and seeing if everything works right?

Yanking those folders changed nothing, Agnes Crumplebottom and Erin Kennedy still showered/bathed in shirts. However, I discovered something interesting- CAS females show up while bathing with the missing body, while EA/Maxis sims that came with the neighborhood shower in the shirts with the visible nude bottom. I tested this by plunking a fresh copy of CAS female out of my library into the same Test neighborhood as Agnes and Erin, and the CAS sim showered with an invisible body. Of course, I have no idea what this means, but it's extra weird.
wizard_merlin: yes, as I said in my first post, I tried every combination of removing things I could think of, so I tried it repeatedly with and without the skins. The invisible body/shirt thing happened with no mods at all (other than awesomemod one time, and the mosaic the other), so I don't think it's the skins causing it.
Motoki:
If you are getting it even with starting a new game it's probably something you downloaded (or stowed away in something you downloaded).
So if you yank out the whole My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/ folder out, and yank out all package files if you have them installed the old way under Program Files, and start a new game do you still get it? If you don't get it then, try putting back only your save files and nothing else. If you're still not getting it it's got to be something you downloaded.
Selectively yanking out things is fine but I think I would try yanking out everything first.
The other possibility is that perhaps you have some old no mosaic mod or some other mod that messes with one of the game files like an ini or some such. Maybe you got it for an earlier patch and forgot? Anyway, if you yanked everything out and still get the issue then I'd just reinstall the game and all the expansion packs, patch, then add back in your custom content. If you back up the My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/ folder and then just copy it back that should do it.
