Bicycle + Platform = Invisible Sims!

When my sims ride a bicycle over a platform (only one raised so no need for steps) with a door, I'm not sure if its the combo or just the platform but they turn INVISIBLE! It's wild. The only two ways I've found to see them again is send them home and bring them back or have them shower. Unfortunately since sims LOVE to bike inside.... this happens frequently at my sim's business where the employee room is one level lowered.  

ALSO - My sims also have a last name with spaces in it, so the resetsim cheat never works successfully since it doesn't "find them." Help!

    Laptop mode usually causes issues. So better to have it turned off :D

    Are all your settings on highest ?

    Upload your video to google/onedrive or unlisted youtube and link here.

    I have a screen recording of it happening but I'm unable to upload it to this reply. I do play with mods but even without them it continues to happen. My graphic settings are 3600 x 2338.

    This is the only instance of them being invisible and therein uncontrollable. Since I'm unable to select the sim I cannot change their outfit to try and bring them back. You'll see in my clip that strangely interacting with a piece of furniture brought them back. I usually elect for them to shower since that also brings them back. Not all furniture brings them back though. Again, as you would see in the video, the sim grabs a plate from the fridge, invisible. However, I did give her that instruction before she went invisible so I wonder if getting the command once invisible then can bring them back.  Either way it is bizarre to just lose your sim graphically. 

    As for laptop mode, you mentioning it is the first I've heard of it. So I just turned it on and I will try again and see what happens. Cheers! If you all do want me to send the video capture of it happening somewhere, I'm happy to do that! 

  • Could you please provide the following information

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    • What graphics settings are you playing on ?
    • Is this the only instance where your Sims going invisible ?
    • Do you have laptop mode on or off ?

    Also just to be clear, when they are invisible, I can't select them on screen and say "reset sim" with the shift+click or change outfit, which could work, but again, they are INVISIBLE. Aside from opening CAS from the personality tab or the other two above, I have no great solutions and again this happens CONSTANTLY.
