    Unfortunately you have to rely on mods for now
    Bcus EA of course can't get their job right they made the script that disable alien abduction but too lazy to put it on the options menu
    The worse thing now is that aliens will look like human in your neighborhood
    So if my sim wants meet some nice girl and woohoo with her they will end both pregnant bcus she might be an alien -.-

    This is very frustrating bcus this was my dream EP until they implemented aliens in the game this way

    Is there a cheat that turns off alien abductions? I was going to get the Get to Work expansion pack, but after reading through lots of forum posts, I'm not so sure.

    RuthAnn, you don't need a cheat for that. I just let my science sim build the parabol for all households that I play. He puts it in his inventory and go visit and place it at their houses. Then they can prevent the abductions like you see in the picture above.

    Hello @RuthAnn107 There is an option on the satellite dish to prevent alien abductions.
    To get the satellite dish without having your sims join the science career, type in
    bb.showhiddenobjects
    into the cheat box.
    Then go to buid/buy mode and put "satelite " into the search box to find the item.

    If you use mods, MC Command Center has an occult module that controls aliens and abductions.

    The dish that prevents abductions is not that great. I play the science careers all the time, if a sim at work 'contacts aliens with it I have found that while it is doing that for 24 hours other households can't prevent abductions. Remembering to use it every 24 hours is a major fun drian too. I use testingcheats true cheat and re-set any MALE sims that are about to be abducted if I can catch them in time. I hate the fact the men come back pregnant, if I could mod this out my game I would in a heartbeat.

    Not sure if this happens all the time but I'm pretty sure another way to tell if someone is an alien is that when they're feeling flirty or inspired or something, they will have a super slim aura around them that's the same color as the emotion. So if you see any sims like that avoid interacting with them at all. I also feel like aliens are very much immersion breaking. It seems like a toggle would be so easy to add :(

    Rosemow, thank you for the link, that is a BIG mod lol. I am hoping too be able to do some minor modding myself when I get the chance to learn a bit more about the internal files. It's a shame that there is not just a toggle like dafadolly mentioned. Meanwhile I will DL the above and see how it goes, thanks again :-)

    A little warning: Don't have a group gathering at your science sim's homelot or at any lot where the parabol is at. Put it in your inventory, or all the other scientists go bananas with the parabol, and all kinds of weird things happen. LOL

    This is so true! I had a club set to play with science stuff that included that, and the Aliens just Would Not Stop generating. I love the Aliens, but that was a bit much.

    Go into your sims library Under unplayed sims you can delete the aliens there

    "and in the real world they don't have them."

    We don't know actually. There could be aliens among us. Lady Gaga could be an alien, I can be an alien...YOU CAN BE AN ALIEN!!!

    I think it's very likely for there to be life on another planet other than our own, I mean, there are trillions of trillions of trillions of planets and there's the theory of multiple universes. It would be pretty sad and scary if humans were the only living things... :cold_sweat:

    Yes, I would very much like the ability to disable Life States such as Ghosts and Aliens.

    At the same time, it would be cool if we could eventually disable the Human Life State(perhaps with the addition of Supernatural?) as well as have an option to change the frequency of Alien Abductions - as many players are upset with this getting nerfed and interfering with their storytelling.

    If you own EP02 Get Together, the game will add non-disguised aliens to the world because of the bar and Alien night.
    You MUST avoid the bars on Tuesday :p


    In EP01 Get To Work, there is no alien as long as :

    - your sim isn't a scientist
    - your sim doesn't visit Sixam
    - your sim doesn't contact them with the satellite dish

    There is are two other occations where you will meet undisguised aliens.
    First one being when you use satelite dish to contact aliens, and the second one being going to Sixam for a party (Both scientist related) :)

    Do you know that your scientist can make them human by using his weird gun and change them?

    I had my sim work in the science career just to make "that" satellite in hope that I would help stop the alien abductions, What a joke! The science career itself was to lead your sim to the aliens and their world. The satellite (prevent abduction) even when it was turned on, I started having more abductions, twice in one night. It looked like 🐸🐸🐸🐸 to me, and this is supposed to be funny??? A turn on/Off switch is needed at the beginning of the game. What good is it to have the new city, if your sim cant enjoy it because they're to busy being abducted.

    I did not say plum. If the game is going to have " PLUM" in it, then they should have a {SVU...Special Victim Unit} for the victims of plum to go. ?? It is a bad influence on our teens (Game Rating Is Teen).

    Having a switch or toggle to turn off undesired content would definitely benefit the credibility of EA & Maxis. Might even improve game sales.
