[Live mode] Alien Abduction and Ghost

LeGardePourpre

Hi,

Getting an alien abduction or a ghost are too difficult and too long, it's not funny and there is no shortcut by using cheat code.

I don't rule, I give up, I won't use these features. That's my #YouDontRule moment.


Note: I know there are ghosts in the gallery but I can't replace them by my own characters with their own face and their own story.

Yeah I do wish the chance of supernaturals did increase. It really stinks the game is coded to cull ghost right away too. It's almost like the Sims 4 hate supernaturals. It didn't sit right with me hearing that aliens were nothing more than for Sims to make fun of. Supernaturals need to rule too.

My sim got abducted right as he was about to say his wedding vows! Too bad he didn't get pregnant. I liked the system in TS2 where you had to look in the telescope.

Honestly, the ghosts are more of a nuisance than anything. All they do in my game is break things. I really liked the TS3 ghosts since you could have ghost babies with them. I usually cull them manually (since I have the no cull mod), but I'm pretty hesitant when it comes to Goth ghosts since that family has always had them. I'm thinking about making a separate lot a graveyard for the family. I did that in TS3 when I realized ghosts on my lot made my game slower.

A similar thing happen to my male sim.
He just got married and at the altar when all was done suddenly I saw thing abducted thing and I was like GOBSMAKED.
This like NEVER happens in my game so I was pretty happy. But he didn't get preggo.

Unfortunately my sim wasn't able to complete his marriage
I keep forgetting to get them married. Luckily his fiance is an alien so he's at least having half-alien babies. They are children at the moment and I named them Apolline and Artemis
I'm glad CAS lets you create full aliens this sims generation. I've always wanted that option.

It was simple and funny.

Getting a ghost isn't hard. Having them die a particular way can be though....
Cowplant (two ingestions in a certain time frame), drowning and starvation are sure.. I personally don't like drowned ghosts though...too messy later. Humiliation is pretty easy too.
I just got my first ghost by fire tonight, I'm excited as I've had a really hard time trying for this. I left the game running though and bam. Not sure what the source of the fires was but had the campfire and a low quality grill out.
I do suggest you are really good friends before they die because that level has to be above best friends now to move them in.

I tend to make sims that live outdoors partly. I think it might increase the possibility of abductions to be outside on your lot often. I have to save often because I don't want mine abducted.

@Hermitgirl

Abduction requires friendship with many aliens, the aliens are no longer evil by abducting innocent sims, now they only abducts their friends like the vampires only bites their friends.

Not that I've seen. I created the sim pictured for spa day. All she did was go to the spa and try out the yoga, level up in meditation. She lived basically outside. She had few aquaintances but no deep friendships. Within a week of her life she was abducted twice. Maybe coincidence? It happened in Newcrest once on her lot and once off.. (wanted to edit this to say she was still in her neighborhood.. but running around harvesting. I was just really surprised when she was suddenly pulled up again)

@Hermitgirl

You're lucky, my sim spent a week without being abduct, he tried to contact them every nights. They visit him but nothing else.

Hermitgirl

It might be the luck of the draw. I'm just always afraid of being abducted now lol.. So I save.

@Hermitgirl

What is the career of your sim ?

I heard the doctor/scientist careers increase the chance, mine is unemployed.

Jouvay

Yes it increases the chance. My male scientist sim got knocked up 5 times by aliens.

ModerateOsprey

I have had one sim that has been abducted three times. She is in the detective career and has loves outdoors trait, so she is outside a lot - if any of that means anything. Could well be fluke die rolls.

I do have a scientist living on the same lot, but very little in the way of science equipment and my abductee doesn't know any aliens.

LeGardePourpre

2 nights after the death, the ghost isn't come yet...

LeGardePourpre

The 3rd nights, I've got my first ghost

Now I can import the ghost to my initial game.

LeGardePourpre

The satellite dish (Contact aliens each 24 SimHours) is very useless :

- 2 first nights: a group of aliens visit my sim
- 9 nights: nothing happened
- 10th and 11th nights : a group of aliens visit my sim
- 12th night: nothing happened

The satellite dish was supposed to increase the chance but it's not the case

It's unfair because some people complained about the alien abductions, now I can't get my sim to be abducted for the first time

I agree @LeGardePourpre I've been trying for ages with my current sim. He's now been abducted twice but still no pregnancy. I'm totally determined though and I will keep activating the satellite until it happens. Even though there are lots of things you can do to up the chances of abduction (rocket ship on lot, be a doctor or scientist, Travel to Sixam, have alien friends, have an observatory etc etc) it still doesn't seem to really make that much of a difference. It's so annoying... I mean, if my sim is actively looking for abduction and doing everything then I should be able to make it happen.

A lot of times he only gets a phone call from an alien after activating the satellite. *Blood boils*

Ironically weeks before he had his first abduction he was visiting a friend in another neighbourhood completely and his friend (never played) suddenly, in mid conversation, walks outside and is abducted. Ugh!! What a slap in the face!

Finally I was forced to use a mod, my sim was abducted 5 times in one day .

Maxis !

They are. Even mods helped bring back the pre-patch aliens so alien female Sims can get males pregnant again.

LeGardePourpre

I don't understand Maxis, they spend time and money to develop features and at the end they don't allow us to use them.

I begin to think EP01 Get To Work isn't so good that I thought, many features were intentionally botched.
