Invisible Visitors (With Pic)
ThyGuy:
My old post in this thread is stupid, thus because I'm stupid.
Back before any of the expansion packs, I had invisible sims constanlty. Kids coming home from school with playables, adults from work with playable; I even had a damn headmaster become invisible a few times.
It completely stopped once I installed Uni. I've seen the dormies become partly invisible, but know it's because they escaped their myne door before it could pull them into the void that is a dormies room.
has anyone had non myne door invisibility happen since they installed NL or OFB?
edit: I think a invisible sim occurs when the game forgets to properly load the sim animations when they arrive at a lot, which would explain the dormy and customers also. The dormy goes into the myne and the code starts to make them vanish, but they cancel fast enough to escape and are now in a partly loaded state. The same happens when a customer is leaving the lot without paying and comes back invisible; the part that loads their animation never turned back on, because they never exactly left.
Magicmoon:
Your theory sounds plausible as I've seen the Myne door invisibility happen. But those tended to have a ghost appearance in my game. It is possible that some of the complete invisibility also came from those though.
But I've also had an occasional visitor turn invisible while visiting a residential lot. These visitors are playables, but were visitors at the moment because it wasn't their lot. I greeted them and they were normal. Later I couldn't locate them until I saw the pool table with hovering pool cues like the game was playing itself. Since no Myne doors were on these lots, it can't explain all of the invisibility problems.
I haven't seen the invisibility problems since installing OFB and Pets, but then maybe it comes in "runs" like so much other sadorandomness that occurs in this game.
aimlesscoyote:
Thyguy, I like your theory about partly-loaded Sims entering business lots. I wonder if that could be a problem with the portal? The only thing that makes me question the possibility is that the invisibility seems to happen again and again with the same handful of Townies.
I don't use Myne doors so I'm pretty sure those aren't causing the problem.
Maybe the problem will resolve itself when I install Pets. *tries to look hopeful*

Interesting enough, I just had a invisible dormy that was fighting wwith another dormy. He had just come back from class.
My first post in this thread was totally wrong, don't do anything I said. and...
DO NOT BURNATE THEM! DO-NOT-BURNATE-THEM!
I decided to see if I really could burnate them, and it crashed the entire game.
Forcing a error doesn't work, they reset, but are still invisible.
Catching them on fire also causes a instant crash. XD
