I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything about this. I just went back to an older save game that I last played just after Ambitions came out, and the family's toddler was gone. She's still in the family tree, but her icon in the tree won't load. She has no thumbnail at all on the left hand side.
I looked online and tried some basic things to hopefully reset. Resetsim didn't work. I changed households and came back, and though she had a box reappear on the left with her family thumbnails, her picture still wouldn't load. She has a plumbbob but she's invisible.
I tried resetsim again after I got her to at least have a plumbbob, but no luck.
If I go into CAS or a dresser, she's completely invisible. The right clothes show up, but if I pick something else for her to wear, nothing happens.
I also tried aging her up. She became an invisible kid. I'm half tempted to leave her that way.
Oh and I tried saving the family to the bin and replacing them, but it still had the same issue. The kid reappeared, but she's completely invisible.
It's not a huge issue, but I do wonder if anyone else had something like this happen or has heard about something like this happening. I've found a lot of people saying they have issues like this, but nothing to fix it so far.

Yes, I actually did have this happen but unfortunately do not have a fix for it.
It was with one of the families that comes with Twinbrooks with Ambitions. It was exactly as you described but eventually she disappeared completely. Gone from the family tree, gone from the family panel. I never did figure out how to get her back. I was just glad it was with one of the EA families and not one of my own.

Dang, I was afraid of that. It's alternate Jimmy and Mary's kid too. Since she's not a story character, I never took her into CAS and saved her. I kinda wanted to see what she'd look like grown up. Even poor alternate Mary and Jimmy can't stay 100% happy.

Have you tried fiddling about with a mod to see if that will help? Maybe one of Twallan's?

Do you mean like taking her back into CAS? I did look over the Master Controller to see if there was anything that might jump out at me, but I didn't see anything.
I also took her back into CAS. It's so weird, all the tabs show up except for the basics that has the skin tone picker and name and all that.

Thought: Can you save her when you take her back to CAS with Master Controller? If so, how about starting a new game, creating a family with her and a random sim, merging them with the right household and fiddling with their relationships in Master Controller? Or can you create a twin for her in CAS?

I did try saving her in CAS, but that saved sim has the same issue. My next trick is probably going to be checking one of my older save files to see if she's present there, and then move that kid over and make her part of the family. I sort of just really wanted to see what she'd look like grown up!

Sounds like the character is corrupted. I have that problem with tombstones downloaded from the exchange. When the ghosts come out, they're invisible even after resurrection. CAS was the same as you.
I couldn't find a fix for it. Just remade the problem sims and edited family tree/deaths after that.
I hope you can find the toddler in a previous save. Maybe even hotlink a picture if she turns out to be a cutie.

I've just had that, my toddler disapeared, the needs continued dropping anyway. I moved the entire family to a new house via the phone and the toddler reappeared at the new house. So maybe that will work for you.

I gave that a try too, moving her and the family out. Then I tried moving just her and her mother and moving them into another house, but she's too far gone it seems.
Meowzbark, you know, I'm surprised we don't have a sim picture thread. That's like a staple in normal forums, lol.

I don't know if this would work or not, and this may be a totally crazy idea, but I figure I would throw it out here.
Sometimes I have usable objects mysteriously disappear (this happens a lot for me with push statues and half-finished paintings in particular).
I've been able to make them visible again by buying and placing one of the invisible object OMSPs boxes on the lot, going to live mode, and then by clicking on the box to make all invisible items on the lot visible again.
I don't know if this would work with people or not, but I'm pretty sure both LunarFox and Ilyandrya use vanishing scripts and OMSPs.
Worth a shot, at least?

Hey, that's worth a shot and something I never would have thought to try! *loads up game*
Edit: No, doesn't work. But I did find that the master controller also has a "reset lot" option. That didn't work either, but handy to know.
