Invisible Visitors (With Pic)
nekonoai:
I had this happen to a sim that my sim brought home from work. The game said that my sim brought "so and so" home from work, but I didn't see anyone. And then later the TV turned on [by itself] and for some reason my sim wouldn't go in the bathroom... o.O I guess he was on the john. It was odd, but I eventually got him to leave by telling another guest to leave and selecting 'say goodbye to all'

Mine were about to leave the lot fully dressed, turned invisible at the boundary and went back to pay at the till. I wondered if it was the effect of a fix for shoplifting. They do seem to behave like normal sims though. They aren't stuck in anyway.

Well, the dorm door fix will not fix my original problem. At least I doubt it. The dormies affected were like ghosts. I could see through them and interact with them. But the original problem, the sims were totally invisible and although they could interact with my sims, they can't be clicked on for my sims to start an interaction.
Maybe it is some sort of leftover Maxis code that is running around because the problem seems somewhat common, but yet the Boss hasn't found out the reason nor made an awesome fix for it.
I'll be installing OFB this weekend so I expect to see even more of this behavior in the future.

I've had 2 completely invisible sims since re-installing all EP's about a month ago. The first was a Townie Adult, he became friends with a Founder while the Founder was at College, running a Community Business. At that point he was visible. Once the Founder moved to start the Neighborhood, he opened up a home Venue Busn. I first noticed the Townie was invisible when he complained to the Founder. I was unable to click on him at all. He stayed invisible until i eventually managed to move him in and got hime to change his clothes.
The 2nd completely invisible sim was a playable child who was walking by my lot, i clicked on him to control him 'just' as he reached the portal and was fading out, at that point he returned under my control but was completely invisible and un-interactable. I quit without saving on that one as he was the Heir to the King and i didn't want to mess him up.
I have no recolection if that Townie was caught at the Comm Business for shoplifting but it's entirely possible. I haven't run very many retail busn yet, mainly Venue, which could be why i only had the one.

I seem to be seeing the ghost dormies much more lately. Due to a hardware issue I reinstalled everything, all the disks, and have been playing a mostly cc free game. I used to have the ghost issue in Academie La Tour but never in Fiesta Tech. It has now spread to Fiesta Tech. I blame Glamour.....simlpy because you have to blame something :)
The dormies do eventually correct themselves, I have given up worrying about them. In the early days of Uni I reinstalled that ep a couple of times because I thought it was a cc bug, now I know it's just a maxis 'feature' ;D
The totally invisible sims would be a greater worry. I always select 'say goodbye to everyone' just in case though. I have had occasions where the sim is said to bring home a friend, but I just don't see them....I usually assume they are off on the swings and ignore them. Funny how they bring home friends at the most inconvenient times.
