Reduce/prevent alien abductions

My family’s Plumbot gets abducted by aliens almost every night. It’s getting annoying as she automatically cancels whatever she’s doing, which is particularly unfortunate when she’s recharging.
Is there a way to stop alien abductions? Or at least substantially reduce them??

There's also a way with Nraas' retuner. Click on a computer or the city hall and then click Nraas, Retuner then you should get the dropdown box, click everything in this order.
Settings>General > By Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.ActorSystems > AlienUtils
You can change the two ratios here down to reduce the bonus chance if you don't want bonuses.
kAbductionSpaceRockBonus = 0
kAbductionTelescopeBonus = 0
kAductionBaseChance to 0 should get rid of abductions entirely, though you can keep the alien visitors with the other settings as they are.
Just note you'll need to set these again for every other world, Nraas should have a way to import/export these settings though
I haven't figured out exactly what you can do to get rid of the Alien Pregnancy for males, but if you're like me, you can shift click delete those moodlets if they pop up.
So, what I did was go to the home computer and choose...
NRAAS > Returner > Settings > General > by Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.ActorSystems > Alien Utils
Then there is a series of numbers with labels starting with k. I went through them and set any that related to Aliens to 0. Examples kAbductionBaseChance, kAbductionMaxSpaceRockBonus, kAbductionTelescopeBonus. I set them all to 0. I didn't worry about length of abduction as if they didn't get abducted that wouldn't matter to me.
It seems to have worked for me.

I started using Returner when I wanted to force all babies to get an Imaginary Friend at birth. I followed the instructions to prevent them getting any Imaginary friends at birth and changed the number from 0.75 to 1. To stop them getting an IF the number needs to be 0. So when I wanted to stop Aliens I just followed the path I use to get the Imaginary Friends and chose Aliens instead.
