Mysterious disappearance of a Sim!

[Diggrdude]

One of my Sims (the mom in a family) has mysteriously disappeared!  I noticed this after a bad lot (not the one she lived on) caused problems.  I was able to get the Sim living on the bad lot out and delete the lot.  Then, as I went to different households, I noticed one blank thumnail in their sims phone books.  When I figuered-out which sim it was I when to her house.  I can hear her voice, but she can't be seen.  She can get food out of the refrigerator put she can't eat, shower, sleep, use the bathroom or anything (she can make puddles on the floor).  Her picture is missing but there is still a blank space for her in the family selector.  I moved the family out and back in but she is still in her "there but not there" state. 

Can anyone tell me what's wrong, and possibly how to fix this?

Have you tried maybe the Sim Blender, to see if you can modify her in some way? Or the Insimenator... (I know this particular article is controversial at best, but if you have it already, maybe it's worth a try. If nothing else works, you might consider killing her (if you can get a hold of her) and resurrect her to see if that works. Otherwise I've got nothing...

Thanks Mari - I'm not familiar with Sim Blender, I have Imsimenator: though about deleting her, I guess I could try killing and resurrecting her, but I'd perfer not to!

Have you tried restoring the family? In the neighbourhood screen, enter the cheat 'boolprop testingcheatsenabled true' then go into the lot, shift click on a blank tile and you'll get some options. I *think* it's under 'other' - 'restore family'. Works if my families are playing up sometimes.

Long shot (it sounds as if the character's memories have gotten glorked)--

If she is selectable, try aging her down to teen, then exiting the lot, re-entering the lot and aging her back up.

Thanks for the suggestion rwills, unfortunately it didn't work!  I appreciate you any all others, for sharing your thinking on this!

Do you have a backup of the neighborhood?

There's one more thing I can think of. Open your cheat box and enter moveobjects on, then go into buy mode and select (if you can find her) the invisible sim. Delete her, save and exit to the neighbourhood, then re-enter the house. She'll be by the mailbox and (hopefully) reset.

Oh, wait ... another thing. On a lark, try going to the mirror and changing her appearance.

But first, try moving her out of the lot and move her back.

Hmm ... guess that's more than one more thing. LOL.

Not to be a pest, or anything, but could you please at least try to put capital letters where they belong as well as typing out the whole word rather than an abbreviation ("though" instead of "tho")? It will make your posts easier to read and, since many of our users aren't native English speakers, anything we can all do to be better understood by everyone is a great help.

Thanks

Really long shot--

Try installing the Ghost Hack:

and unghosting the Sim (as she for all intents and purposes seem to be exhibiting ghost characteristics).
