Lucky you I only got it 1 time yes only 1 time I guess I'm really unlucky lol but now I'm playing a family and I don't want alien abductions since they are human and the only reason I'm playing humans is since supernatural can't skate
otherwise if I was playing a supernatural I would say come on abductions
I don't get abductions frequently. Occasionally an alien will visit my home, but not very often. I'm sort of happy about that because it would be really annoying to have them popping up all the time. I also hope EA makes alien, zombie, and IF disable options.
I have only gotten abductions when my sim is awake when the aliens come - generally between 2 and 4 am. Has this been the case with others, or have you experienced abduction of a sleeping sim?
I've had several Sims who've been asleep and wake up to go out and check out the lights. Didn't know about the resetsim cheat taking away the queued action -- I'm definitely going to try that (hopefully it won't happen when I'm busy with my other Sims).

IFs are easy to deal with -- as soon as your baby gets the doll, drag it out of inventory, type in testingcheatsenabled true in the cheat box, then shift click on the doll and do Object->Delete It and poof it's gone. I don't have that many issues with zombies -- I only see one or two on a full moon and since my gardens are fenced in there's no problem as long as I remember to lock the gate to all but my household.

I've had it for weeks and haven't had one alien abduction yet. I see aliens, like they show up at my front door then fly away in their space ships, but I haven't had an actual abduction.

I'm just back from a long testing session.
I was able to track down my problem to Pescado's aweomemod.
It prevents aliens from having UFOs and therefore my Sims never got abducted.
I've used "object delete" on so many IFs, you'd think the game would finally get the hint.
What is the "object delete" cheat? I am not having an alien problem, (in fact, I was delighted when my Sim was abducted not once, but twice within three days) and when I started a new game, aliens actually visited my lot, which I thought was really cool. All three times I didn't have to do anything. However, sadly, I'm not getting any such visitations.
As for the IF problem, I simply don't let them out of the inventory. Instead, I am having a serious active Simcloning-themselves-all-over-town problem.
Can I use this cheat while in normal live mode, so that when I run into a clone I can call up the cheat window, enter the cheat and simply delete the clone?

But I totally forgot Seasons brought on Aliens, not SN. I'll have to get them on my lot soon.
But yeah if it's been happening as much as you say there should def be a disallow option.
I did not even have any space rocks or telescopes on my lot, I was not even ON my lot, and an alien was trying to talk to my dog. I was like ***? Can they get ladies preganant? And can't you just lock your doors? that is what I do for zombies and everyone other then household. Couldn't they just go inside? Heck, if aliens showed up I would most likely hide out in a closet lol
I've had seasons for about a month now, and I've only had two abductions. No alien babies either. One male sim was abducted and one female sim was abducted. The female sim that was abducted was already pregnant and I thought it would be cool if she had two babies. One from her husband and one alien baby. Like twins but not really. Oh well... I think I'll take everything fun out of their home and only add all the things that increase logic and see what happens.
Maybe they could add an option to turn off abductions?
Yeah, you would THINK they would do that. We asked for that with Zombies and people have asked for that with Imaginary friends. But... nope. EA really seems not to give a darn about the wishes of their players on this score. I have no idea why.
They get around to it eventually if enough people complain. We finally got an option to turn off celebrities-4 EPs later. :roll:

All you have to do (with testingcheatsenabled true on) is shift+click on the object or sim you want deleted and the option will pop up. Yes, it can be done in live mode. I don't recommend using it on an IF that's in the crib, I tried that once and it deleted the crib, baby and all!
I don't mind when an alien visits the lot, it's the abductions themselves I'm tired of.
Yeah I think it's like you either have aliens in your game or there abysmal. And when you do have them, they are insanely addicted to abducting your sim ALL the time. Fortunately for me I've had one abdication that I wanted, resulting in alien pregnancy. So far only 1 or 2 visit, and I'm on my 2nd generation, onto the 3rd. Sorry about those pesky aliens...
It was cute about the first ten times, but it's really getting old now, I'm getting one at least once a sim week. I'm not even doing anything to attract them, I've taken all the telescopes and space rocks off the lots. In the next update please add aliens (and zombies and imaginary friends-also getting on my last nerves) to the disallow option.

Thank you in advance.
I posted the cheat up above, but I'm not sure it works on Sims. For Sims I want to get rid of I use Twallan's Master Controller mod; I click on the Sim, choose NRaas->Master Controller->Advanced->Total Annihilation and that gets rid of the Sim totally in the game. I used it mostly on paparazzi when they'd bug my celebrity Sim (before I turned off celebrity), since they were mostly NPCs anyway and had no connection to anyone in town.

Nope, when you do a simple delete on a Sim it will just remove the instance but not the Sim data itself.
The next time you enter the world the Sim will be reinstantiated from it's model data.
However you probably won't find him as part of the family but completely disconnected in the NPC pool.
That's why Twallan implemented the "Total Annihilation" command.
This not only destroys the instance but also the model data.
For a better understanding imagine a database where all Sim data is stored.
When you enter a world the game crafts Sims from that data (instantiation). What you see are just those instantiations but not the model behind.
Why don't EA do the logical thing?
I think most people would like aliens to appear in their game, but not have them visiting every other night; I really don't understand EA!
I have had the problem where I have not seen a single alien in my game! I've not seen any around town and even when I've tried collecting space rocks and using the telescope, I still see nothing! It's so annoying, I want to see an alien from time to time and I've tried night after night and I have not seen on alien! I just think they are not included in my game whatsoever!!!

I really find the whole concept atrocious. Growing up in a bad area as a child and later as a teen I was nearly abducted by an intruder (human of course) three times. There should definitely be the option to turn this feature off for those of us who have been real life crime victims and don't find the concept of abduction and forced impregnation amusing. :evil:

I had a look at Twallen's MC, but I already have his Overwatch, Error_Trap, and Relativity. It looks as though MC is a base mod, which means there are others one must have to use it. I did try the cheat delete objects on the clone of my singer Sim, who this time was the Proprietor of the Performance Park — and it worked. He was gone. However, my game crashed shortly thereafter. Oi! I hesitate to take up more computer space with additional mods for the one problem. I've posted my peculiar problem over on the Technical forum and will await an answer there. I just pray I don't have to start all over yet again. I've re-booted the game, so to speak, by changing the name of my Sims3 folder to force it to regenerate, then slowly adding stuff back into the game. Worked for a time, but now I have this problem. Oi!
Im glad its not just me I am sick to death of the aliens keep pinching my sims especially in my legacy files it is rather annoying and the alien babies are just messing things up for me.
I dont encourage them either but they get me all the time. I wish there was a way to turn the abductions off.

I'm in the latter camp.
