The Mission: Render teeth invisible.
The Original Plan: Create a standalone recolor of teeth cc and remove the mesh. (Spoilers, it didn't quite work.)
The New Plan: Create a recolor with an invisible texture (which I'm assuming is how mods like Simvisible work.)
The Problem: I'm not sure what I need to do to create an invisible texture...
The Question: What is the best process for such a procedure? Would creating a blank texture work? (Like taking the original teeth texture and erasing it?) Or is there some other way I can do this? (By the way I'm a mac user so I'm doing this on the latest appletini)
**Bonus** **Not necessary to answering my questions** The Backstory: I've been desperately searching on a quest to make a completely invisible sim--in fact I've come so close so many times that it's brought me to tears! I've made requests but no one it seems is interested. So, though I have no experience with this sort of thing I'm taking what meager knowledge I have and seeing if it's even possible to do this myself.
Why am I trying to get an invisible sim? Simple: I want to use the studio camera to take scenic shots in the game. I have a mod that separates the camera from it's backdrop so you can use it anywhere. Awesome! Except that you can only take pre-selected pose shots of sims. But, I figured if you take a picture of an INVISIBLE sim, then you're able to take a picture of whatever is behind it! :D I know there's a screenshot feature in the game, I know you can make cc pictures out of these screenshots. But to a simple person like me (who's appletini crashes every time I try to edit an object anyway) it's far too complicated if I want something as simple as a family portrait to hang in my sims' home.

I've attempted a few times at this point to create a fully invisible sim. So far I've had helpful contributions from several people who provided invisible sim CC. (One even came up with a method for tricking the teeth to be invisible. However, no matter how many times I tried I couldn't replicate it.) Sadly, my efforts have led me to the same conclusion: unless I can get the teeth to disappear, my efforts are futile. What I would like is simple: something to visibly render teeth invisible, like the function of broken CC. I would be SO grateful to anyone who could help me here. Ultimately my goal is to make it so scenic pictures can be taken in-game. I know you can just create a CC picture of a screen shot, but it's overly complicated to me if all I need is one element to be able to create such pictures unlimited within the game's function. Thank you!

I went on his MTS page, and it was March 10th of last year. His mod is officially considered "unsupported" by the website and it says so on the mod page.
EDIT: YES. My sims lives consist of photoshoots using this mod. A good portion of my CC is poses I can't use now. :(

So the patch from March 23rd broke a very important mod: the sims teleporter mod. I went to the original post and found that the original creator isn't active anymore. I'm a bit lost on what to do... is there any advice someone can give on what to do? I know I'm not the only one who is going to be flipping out when they update and find out it's not working. I'm hoping someone can find out what's breaking it and point out how to fix it, like what happened with script call tall mirrors when those broke.
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

OOH! This looks really useful for story telling and for adding to world realism! I love all the gameplay and event mods you make and I use a good amount in my own game. Good job!

I'm trying to find a proper Edwardian maid outfit. So far I've come across a few good ones, but they don't exactly meet what I'm looking for. I can't believe the item I want doesn't exist, though I concede the possibility that it doesn't. So if you know of an outfit that fits my description, please share! If you'd like to try doing something like this yourself, I'd appreciate that as well! Here's an example image I found of a second-life dress that I think meets what I'm looking for (the example on the left): The features I like are: -The apron's shoulder detail and neckline -The long sleeves -The floor-length skirt -The modest collar of the dress -The color An alternative inspiration would be this lovely outfit: The features I like are: -The apron's length and details (and I like the shoulder on this one too) -The cuff detail -The cap (I'm mentioning it in the slim chance it is out there somewhere) -The ankle-length skirt -The color, because versatility Thank you for taking the time to look at this! Any contributions are appreciated, though my one request is that the download link be functional (I found this awesome apron accessory the other day and my heart broke when the actual download link was broken. D,: Truly a tragedy!).

Thank you very much for putting this all together for me! Unfortunately I couldn't get those stupid teeth to disappear, but I consider this a success none the less. I'm sure there's just something up with my game so it won't do what yours did. However, I will spread the word to the people I know were looking for a solution! There's a much better chance it will work for them. Again, I can't thank you enough for the time and effort you've put into helping me. You're the best! :D

Thank you. I tried it out and it worked in cas, but the shirt actually appeared in live mode and so did the rest of the sim. And so the quest continues!

Hello! I'm TheGoddessGodiva, but Godiva is fine. You wonder if my name choice has anything to do with the chocolate brand? Why yes, yes it does.
I love the sims 4! And since playing my bad habit has become searching for new cc at ALL hours of the day. It's like shopping therapy! And I'm not going broke to do it! (Nevermind all the packs and expansions I've bought.)
Quick Facts: -I love Purple -Bunnies are Best and Cats are Cool -My ultimate sims related dream is to one day see ballroom dancing brought into the game! :,) -I have the bad habit of randomly assaulting sims on my world streets and giving them 1-hour makeovers...only to never touch them again. -If there's anything that makes me sad... it's seeing Japanese cc and realizing the dropbox doesn't work anymore! DX

So in case you are wondering: I did see someone else here is asking for invisible body parts. (I even asked them about the cc they had found in an effort to work towards my goal.) However I thought it might be prudent to simply state my request on it's own thread since I'm not just asking for certain parts to disappear. Additionally, I have specific reasons why I need an invisible sim.
The Request: Either a piece of clothing (no matter how many or few pieces may be required) that can act like broken cc, or a modded command that will render the whole sim invisible.
The Reason: I want to use the photography camera to take both scenic photos and pose photos. My logic is that if the sim I "take a picture" of is invisible, I can basically take a picture of whatever is behind it. I know there's a camera that can take scenic photos, but it's very limited compared to the functionality of the studio camera. I'm definitely not the only one who would like this feature to become available, so whoever can achieve this would most certainly be a hero! **Hint, hint**
Thank you for your time! If you know anyone who could possibly do this, please forward this to them. I am so desperately trying to find something to make this work! 0_0

Would you mind sharing where you got the invisible head and torso cc? I'm trying to get an entire sim to disappear but for now the head and body are good enough.
