Is there any way to turn off alien abductions?

My main Sim, fortunately a woman, has now been abducted 3 times. I'm rather tired of it as it interferes with her getting things done (such as working on her aspirations.) Is there any way to turn it off? (And I'm not adverse to using a mod to do it, but I haven't found one of those either!)
I'm not a fan of "supernatural" things like aliens or vampires. I'm very glad that for TS4 they made it a separate download so I don't have to have vampires. And I liked it in TS3 that they made it so that you could turn off the ones you didn't like (but still have the interesting clothing and objects that come with such packs.)

There is an hidden bar which determines the chance of abduction. I found out the "search for the truth" will strongly enhance the chance. I've read some feedback on the abduction, players had replied that having higher logic skill, using rocket, owning space rock or alien item form space, travel to the alien home...anything related to alien will fill the abduction bar. And it seems that interacting with aliens, including disguised ones, will encourage sims to be abducted as well. That's why doctors and scientists tend to be abducted more often, because they more or less will meet some aliens at work. So if you don't want to be abducted, just don't do such things to trigger it.
MC Control Center Mod (MCCC) has an Occult Settings Module, in which you can change the frequency or turn off Abductions. It is a large mod with a lot of functions, including story mode features. You have to turn everything on, tho, so even if you just use it for just this particular thing, it won't do anything else. All MCCC Settings are at Default (Game) options until you change them, and quite often Restart. It is found on Deaderpool's MCCC site, and needs updates with Game Patches, usually, as most script mods do. Script Mods must be enabled in TS4 Game Settings, as well.
MCCC enables you to adjust the likelihood of abduction to a very low probability and I believe it also has a way of preventing abduction altogether (but if I remember correctly, this way requires the sattellite dish).
Otherwise, you can reset your sim before they are taken (as sometimes cancelling ‘investigate strange light’ doesn’t work) or go into build mode and out again. Those those both stop the action.
Locking doors also works, as has been mentioned.

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I was looking for! Hopefully my Scientist (who also likes to go in the rocket ship) will no longer get abducted!
While I have the MCCC mod saved "for possible use" (from the first time I played TS4), I don't like it as well as the one I used to have that's similar for TS3. And it has to be updated each time there is a new patch, which is problematic.
Yes. Yes, you can. I've done it. You pause the game when the sim is heading to investigate the lights and then use the cheat code to reset sim(and their name)
I've tried that a couple of times and haven't gotten it to work. Resetsim {name} works for a lot of things but at least for me it didn't work at all.
I can't believe I forget the easiest one: use reset cheat!

That is because- there were complaints like the one that started this and so the programers made it harder to get abducted.
I am thankful that all the times my male scientist Sim got abducted, he never did get pregnant. I hated that they got pregnant. Lack of consent doesn't belong in *my* game!
Although I understand where your coming from, I personally wish men got pregnant more often and understand us women pain 🤣🤣, it gives me great delight that men get preggers by aliens *evil laugh*
I would be perfectly fine with men getting pregnant in the game. My *only* objection is lack of consent when it comes to the alien pregnancy. I do not believe that a T for Teen game think it's ok for someone to essentially be 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and get pregnant.
This is pushing the boat out too far. How do you know there’s no consent? I bet those pollination technicians can be very very charming. Perhaps the men who come back pregnant are the only ones who do consent, since it doesn’t happen very often, even if they’re abducted frequently.
Install MCCC (Mc Command Center) you have the option to decide what ages can be abducted, how frequent abductions are etc. I tend to be amused with alien abductions and find it entertaining when a sim ends up pregnant in my games because of it. I keep it on a higher setting than the default setting. I like high or alien invasion level of alien abductions. You can adjust it to your comfort level.
MCCC will also allow you to keep vampires from invading your home too and delete anyone you don't want with ease (or kill them depending on your mood.
