Is it possible to hide body parts (turn them invisible) with a pose file? What are my options or alternatives rather than creating a pose file that moves them way out of view or scaling them out of view?

Thanks for the help!

Try to create a simple text file, with .pz2 as extension, and use it as a pose file for your character.
Its content: something like:

{
version
        {
        number 4
        }

       actor My_Character_Part
       {
              off
       }
}

Replace My_Character_Part by the name of the part you'd like to hide.
That's inspired  from an old set, so that it should do the trick for you as well.
Replace off by on to make the corresp. part visible.

Hot damn! That worked, thank you so very much!

Awesome!
