Error when teen sneaks out

[Ness]

I haven't got around to that lot again yet.

However, when I had this sim sneak out, she walked to the car and stood behind it and disappeared (different to the letter box thing).  No little icon showed on her thumbnail to show that she was snuck out, no icon appeared in her queue.  Past the time that she should have returned and there was still no sign of her.  Figuring it was part of the random maxian bug I encountered earlier, there was just no error to helpfully allow me to reset her back to the lot I tried to retrieve missing sim with the lot debugger - nothing.

Teleported her back using the letterbox...  and got a plumb bob with an invisible sim underneath!  She did everything as normal, you just couldn't see her so I played along for a bit to see what would happen.  She slept, showered, dressed, changed to her school uniform and went to school all invisible.  Fortunately she brought her body home from school with her.

I think I'll give up with the sneak out thing for now!  Too scary!

That sounds exactly like what happened to me.  I don't suppose you tried the lot debugger option to "Retrieve Missing Sim?"  That wasn't available back when I had that problem.

tried it...  didn't do anything.

Had the same thing happen to me with the burb's kid in pleasantview. Got the error when she got in the car, but eventually she left. Oddly enough, she came back as a CHILD! She didn't look like a child, but a weird kneeled teen. I found some of those pre-made sim children have some really fucked up coding that can only be resolved by turning them into a toddler, and re-aging them to reset the borked coding.
