Alien pregnancy

Two male sims cannot get pregnant by woohooing. You'd need a same-sex pregnancy mod to enable Try For Baby, and male maternity wear (from MTS). But this is not "alien pregnancy" (the child will be half-alien though).

Male sims get alien pregnant as a result of being abducted. Once a sim is abducted they get the "Abducted" moodlet for 10 hrs. Once that expires there is a 33% chance of the abducted sim getting alien pregnant IF the sim is male and IF the sim is not an occult (or alien). Alien pregnant male sims get a 2-day "Unexpected Weight Gain" moodlet (which is the alien pregnancy moodlet) right after the "Abducted" moodlet wears off.

The chances for an abduction of a sim from the active household is 1%. To increase that for a single night you can have the household use the telescope and/or collect space rocks. Each space rock collected adds 15% to the abduction odds (capped at 60% bonus odds from space rocks) and use of the telescope adds 14% to the abduction odds. So, 75% total if the household uses the telescope and collects 4 space rocks. That's just for that night (midnight to 3 am). In my experience sims must be awake to be abducted. Furthermore, it's random which awake sim in the active household is abducted (aliens and sims child aged and younger cannot get abducted).

There are mods to increase (and decrease) these chances, and NRaas Retuner can be used to set the chances to whatever you wish.

Not sure about the university test. Usually I can send sims who just have the "Abducted" moodlet to uni since the game doesn't decide on alien pregnancy until that moodlet expires. In fact, you can save the game just before the "Abducted" moodlet ends and reload until you get the "Unexpected Weight Gain" moodlet. Or you can use Nraas MasterController to just give your male sim the "Unexpected Weight Gain" moodlet - that will work too. I think that once a male sim has the "Unexpected Weight Gain" moodlet they cannot enroll in university, but I never check that since the moodlet is pretty obvious. Even if you have NRaas Traveler set to allow pregnant sims to travel, I think alien pregnant male sims will lose the moodlet (and hence the alien baby) if they travel.

edit: once you invite an alien sim over (or move one in, or one visits) the only options available are the default TFB ones between male and female sims. Same-sex TFB requires a mod.

Lastly, alien pregnant male sims don't use maternity wear, they just get fat over the course of the alien pregnancy.

Just to add a small bit of info to the above excellent analysis if I may, on an alien male pregnancy the one who was abducted is not really the genetic parent of the child. They are acting as a surrogate to (presumably two I guess?) other alien parents not in the homeworld. Pregnancies that form by way of woohooing, no matter what the genders or alien status, are subject to the usual rules. :)

Okay thank you so much both of you that really cleared up all my questions that should really help my game

I had my first pregnant male by abduction recently and the child indeed has two parents.

Is there a NRaas way to save this mother to the bin? She is in the demography list but I don't know how to 'get' to her and capture her.

Note the same of the sim, then:

City Hall or Computer>NRaas>MasterController>Sim>Stylist>Alien DNA Percentage>Choose the line with 100%>Select the alien sim from the list. This will bring the sim in Stylist where you can save the sim to the Sim Bin.

If you meant to save her to the household bin, you can use MC's Add Sim command (I'd filter by Alien DNA Percentage) to add her to an empty lot, then save to the household bin from Edit Town.

Recreating alien in CAS is a bit problematic. They'll lose their alien DNA setting which means they'll get normal eyes and lose alien powers when you place them in the world to play. Their skin, hair, and face genetics should be fine. Once placed on a lot you can use MC to set their alien DNA percentage to 100% (which I think is supposed to be in decimal form, so 1.0, no matter what MC tells you). You can also set DNA percentage with DebugEnabler.

Thanks! Yes, I mean household bin so I'm going to try the second suggestion then. It's a bit complicated, but the abduction took place in a different save than the one I'm playing. Father and kid are already in my active save, but this topic made me realize there actually is a mother! So I want to put her in my active save as well (and use MC to make them all related again).

I must be doing something wrong :s Whenever I choose ‘add sim’, clicking on the alien in the list, all that happens is that I lose my own family members...

Are you adding her to an empty lot? I only suggested that because I thought it might be easier to save her to the household bin that way. 'Add Sim' should also work if you try adding her to the current household.

Or, you can try MC's Invite Over command. I think it's under Basic when clicking on a sim. Invite over the alien and once she arrives befriend (or use TCE to drag up the relationship bar), and use the 'Ask to move in' conversation topic. She should join the the household like normal (and bring along a Galaxa space car).

I just solved it B) I clicked on the city hall, turned out I had to click on my own lot. She’s standing in the garden as we speak, I’m about to save her to the bin now. Thanks again:)

Modless play.....

No pictures but Connor shows up as Riley's dad and the alien who was in his friend slots was zipped up to best friend, he invited her over and we kidnapped HER! she showed up as the mother...she even got the proud parent moodlet when Riley would do something of note.
