Invisible Visitors (With Pic)
Magicmoon:
Since I'm not the only one who has been having difficulties with invisible or partially invisible sims, I thought I would risk necromancy to reveal what I have discovered.
I noticed that the invisible sims were on Uni lots more than anywhere else. Yesterday I started a new neighborhood and dorm and almost immediately started seeing sims who were partially invisible...like ghosts...you can see who they are, but also through them. I deleted a dormie, then another, then soon another because of this invisibility. Then one dormie did it for the 2nd time. So I started following her around to see if I could find out what she is doing when she transitions.
Soon I saw her go into her dorm room. Just as the door starts to shut, I see her fade out. When she left her room later she was in the ghost looking state. I watched other dormies and found that they also were coming out of their rooms like this.
Awhile back at MTS2 I downloaded a recolor of the Myne door. It was an invisible recolor. I did it because Maxis made their dorms where the Myne doors are in the way and you can't see what is going on in the rooms behind them, where your sims actually are. This way I could see through the doors and keep an eye on the simmies.
I noticed that the sims comming out of the invisible recolored doors were in the ghost state whereas the doors that I didn't change color (because they weren't in my way) the sims were coming out normal. I recolored all the Myne doors back to the original Maxis colors and the sim invisibility problem seems to be cured. I've played an additional 3 Sim days without invisible dormies.
When I say "recolored" above, I mean from within the game using the color tool.
So am I crazy or is it really possible for someone to color a Maxis object invisible, and end up making the sims who use it invisible too? This was a Maxis recolor I downloaded, not a cloned door.

In regards to the half invisable dormies, I have those as well. And i don't have any door recolours. Ive barely got any hacks / objects at all to be honest. But thats something ive noticed since I got uni, usually they just got back into their room and reapear whole again at some stage.

The only time I remember invisible visitors was, when I played TS2 only, at Strange Town, and all the friends General Grunt brought home were invisible. I saw the same actions as yours (moving plate and someone watching the TV).
I was told that it is a case of bugged helicopter, and since JMP posted the "carpoolfix", it dissapeared.
It is said that the patches fixed it, but I keep this hack until now, through all EPs (I play NL now).
May be OFB brought back this bug?

Thanks for the info. Looks like those MTS2 doors have unfortunate side-effects. They were probably designed for Uni only and messed up with added EPs. Neither the doors nor the helicopter is my problem though. I have carpoolfix, but there aren't too many helicopters on business lots anyway. I don't have Uni, so I don't have Myne doors never mind their recolours. Could be something else in my downloads though - haven't had the problem recently and I took all my downloads out to try and pin down a couple of problems. I haven't played enough to be sure.

I have this issue also.....but I have OFB....my invisible sims are shopping or in a resturante......I can't click on them either and I can't tell who they are to try to fix them....they do however interact with other sims on that lot....maybe it's a "feature". Tgdrysix
