Re: [TROUBLESHOOT] Sim won't detect alien

Aliens glow when they enter a "very" emotional state, e.g. very flirty (they glow pink) or very sad (they glow blue).

I don't think my scientists have discovered aliens just by seeing them glow, but usually while chatting with them, they can randomly use their alien brain powers on you and that usually gives my sim the "xenophilia" confident moodlet or the angry moodlet of the same thing.

My other sims have also discovered aliens by WooHooing them, because they can't hide anything during WooHoo 😉

I haven't done much analysing the DNA samples yet, but I think you just have to keep trying with those, as I've mostly just discovered traits using DNA analysis, but I assume there's some chance of detecting alien DNA?

    From reading old threads, yes, you should be able to. Not sure if there's a chance involved though

    I got them in a very mood, for example very energized or very romantic, to make them glow.

    Talking to them didn't do anything either ☹️ even though they were glowing 

    The only thing working is woohooing with them

    Yes, that just made them come home to the household not wearing their alienform. That kind a took the fun out of detecting the alien.

    The only way of detecting one so far is woohooing with them, but earlier on I remember I only had to talk a lot with them
