Invisible after vacation
Tried searching for this and found nothing which worked, then fixed it myself, so I'm placing this here incase anyone googles it. I was in the future, then went on vacation to France. I returned fr...

@Sunny_Rio NRaas Traveler makes it possible to travel from one vacation world to another. As a side note, if your sims are traveling at all, I highly recommend the mod. It replaces the somewhat fragile travel transition with its own more stable version and fixes some common errors like a broken Adventure board. It also comes with other convenient options, but it works without any user input.
The main reason to travel A-B-C-B-A rather than A-B-C-A is that with the latter, the game can get confused about what the is' homeworld is. I would guess that what you saw was because a trip to the future is coded differently than other vacations, but when your sims' proper vacation was over, the game booted them back to their original homeworld.
In general, an invisible sim happens because of a broken outfit assignment, not necessarily the outfit itself but their assignment to it. Changing the outfit, as in, having them spin into something else, usually fixes it. I'm not saying that's what the problem was in your case—yours might well be a different problem that only looks similar—just mentioning it for reference for anyone else reading this.
I think I'll stick to A-B-A-C-A, as in always come home to the present before going anywhere else.
I seem to have NRAAS traveller already installed, I can't remember why, maybe it came with something, I don't think I've set it up in any way. Will it help just by being there? Should I set some things in it? I regularly swap between present (Islands), future (which is a different place for some reason), and the 3 foreign destinations.
The clothes isn't what went wrong, first thing I did was trying changing outfit a few times, didn't work.
@Sunny_Rio Traveler fixes the broken travel transition and adventure boards just by virtue of being there and loading in-game. You don't need to change its settings; any time your sims travel, the game will use the Traveler features where applicable. You might want to change its settings if you'd like to allow pregnant sims or toddlers to travel, or you don't want sims in the vacation worlds to age, or something like that, but it's not necessary.
Ok I'll leave it as is and travel more simply, returning to present home first.
I remember why I have traveller now, it was to turn off those damn taxis. My Sim is athletic and runs and swims everywhere.
@Sunny_Rio The mod that governs vehicles, including taxis, is Traffic. Please make sure you have both.
