Actually I invited him over to meet the baby, and I saw him coming up in a sailboat ( :D ) but when he landed on the beach next to the pier, he threw a temper tantrum about routing and then went away again. So that might be why he stopped visiting. What puzzles me is my Sim, the postwoman, and the newspaper girl have had no problem getting to the boat.
Well, many workers in Isla Paraiso have been added a special teleporting capability. Same when your kids or adult sim are leaving, sometimes they'll boat away, sometimes, they'll just teleport. Looks like they forgot to add it for Aliens.

On the other hand, considering the aliens are best known for kidnapping people and returning the men pregnant, the story might work better if he just vanished from her life.
You have a point and that choice is yours. Your game is your story telling :D

So far I've earned four badges in this game (shells, treasure chests, firewalk and alien baby), and failed one (bottles). Two are in progress (80 novels and the chain from Sci Fi to Vaudeville - I've just finished the 2nd romance ) and the poetry will be the next one I write so that's one more.
Actually, "Moonlight Novelist" (the achievement about the "Book club moderator" writing a book) would also fit well in this chain of achievement. Remember though that some specific genre are not included in the 80 books (mainly: comics)

I'm trying to collect 5 hidden islands but Beryl didn't unlock even though I managed to get my Sim to walk across it in the fog. I boated all around it, swam all around it, and finally said 'swim here' to a point directly opposite where Lucy was, and she swam into the fog and walked across the island, and then swam to the designated point.
"Born Explorer" (discover five "uncharted islands") is kinda buggy, and just won't work if you have a fairly large household. My sim had the "Great Explorer" lifewhish, she fulfilled it, but "Born Explorer" did not trigger. A small household seems to be required. I also think you'll have a problem with three specific islands: "No Trouble Atoll" (the one that require a 5 stars resort, "Cay to the City" (the one that require your sims to save thirty drowning sims*), and "Diver's Den" (the one that require you to reach topmost level "Diving" skill and explore the finale cave), as they all require a lot of time and efforts. Also, your sim must NOT be a "Mermaid" in order to unlock "Refuge Island" ("Mermaids" can't complete the fifth "Opportunity" in the chain).
* You DO can save drowning sims when not a lifeguard, however, you are unlikely to encounter them.

This game is weird, sometimes.
Indeed... :/
