I bought the observatory because of this thread but I can't get the "Search for the Truth" option even with my sim with maxed out logic. Will keep trying - maybe I had used the satellite as well?
At level 7 logic you get the ability to Search for the Truth with the Observatory at night while focused.
I don’t like how nerfed the abductions are. Even with mccc settings to “alien invasion” my sim didn’t get abducted. Had to cheat an abduction for it to happen.
I remember 2 years ago, my sim got abducted so much I had to turn the setting of in mccc.

Why is it so hard?? 😭
Sometimes, I believe the devs overdo it, just a tad. EA, please tweak alien abductions back to happen more often. I have only had one most recently. (And even that was years after my previous ones.) And like my Sims3 years, it was a female. Face/palm. I tried so hard to have Erik Cantrell abducted, but they grabbed his only sister, then they kept grabbing his Nanny-Bot. Like a poor marksman they kept missing the target!
@GalacticGal Yes please I agree, tweak it back!
And add an object or lot trait instead for those who don’t want alien invasions or any other occult beings entering their lot. Like “realism dwelling” or something.
(My opinion still stands on don’t buy the pack if there’s an aspect in it you don’t like, my biggest mistake was buying Vampires but I never asked for them to be nerfed I just blame myself for wanting the bb items and not thinking before I bought it)
Edit: I also really want an option for the specific sims like celebrities, vampires, mermaids to stay in their worlds or atleast for celebrities to use the undercover option when they are out walking. Also Father Winter, pls dude only show up at yule and stay in your workshop for the rest of the year.
To me they seem to come in waves. When I did the Eco Lifestyle trial, my sim was abducted four times and I wasn’t even particularly focused on aliens since they aren’t connected with that pack. That was the first time I had a sim getting abducted at all.
In my current save, which I’ve being playing since September, my sim has been abducted somewhere around 15-17 times (I lost count around the 11th abduction), and seeing as the save just started out as a test save for Cottage Living my sim was just doing mundane things like taking care of some chickens and various plants. I didn’t even make an effort to go to Alien Night at the bar, but my sim still managed to get acquainted with a handful of aliens which is what I assume triggered the abductions. However, since the end of February the rate of abductions have slowed down a lot with only one or two of them having taken place since then.
Edit: Edited to add that none of my sims had been abducted prior to trying out Eco Lifestyle.
In a pinch you can always shift click for alien abduction
Otherwise best I've found is walking a dog at night for a random encounter that has nothing to do with a career or telescope or even skill
As I stated previously (I believe), my first Sim in Sims4 to be adducted was one of my Pinstar's Legacy Challenge heirs. He was out late having been to the local bar. Before he reached home, he was abducted. However, he was older and not able to become preggars. So, instead, his heir was abducted just moments before his wedding. I quickly canceled out the interaction and then berated myself for possibly ruining my chance for a pregnancy. Happily, not. Both bride and groom were preggars at the same time, only he gave birth several hours after she did, when he got pregnant, first. After that, the aliens kept picking him up. He refused to give the twins up. Once they abducted my ghostly Founder. The family was, in general, harassed for a time. Then it just stopped.
Several game saves later, adding up to a year or better in real time, a Sim got abducted. But it was a female.
Edited to Add: At that time there were no scientists in the family and no special anything to attract the aliens. That's what made it so special. I did nothing to have it happen.

I 'divorced' myself from wanting the said items. I never liked vampires in any of the packs. And while I can't say I'm a full-on realistic player, sometimes enough is too much. I avoided both witches and the vampires in Sims2 &3. I was so very grateful when only the aliens were in the Seasons pack and the Occults got their very own pack. Easy to bypass that way. I'm terribly sorry you're plagued by them. I was under the delusion if you don't have a Sim read up on them, your Sim wouldn't encounter them. So glad I trusted my gut and didn't make the purchase.
@GalacticGal
I do avoid reading about them to avoid having them show up at my door. What bugs me is seeing like Caleb as a vendor in Sulani, the most sunny place of all worlds.

Wow. I don't suppose there is a way to make a vampire sun-proof, is there? Could be he's got special abilities.
