Supernatural Disable Option

male sims abducted and gets pregnant 'shudders'
-edit- So many friends even refused to buy GTW EP cuz of that male abduction and pregnancy. -shudderz again-

I completely understand that, it ruins the gameplay.

Not to me it doesn't. And because of selfish players, people who like lifestates are forced to barely see any in fact GT didn't even brought one which is something that is part of the sims and every pack used to bring one. Now I don't completely disagree on having this as an option but just so you know aliens aren't the type of lifestate that can be turned off especially when it's tied to a career.

And since we don't know how future packs will be, if there will be any more lifestates for a matter of fact or not I say let's wait first rather than rush things off the bat.

I would love this! I hate supernatural elements and i fully believe they shouldn't be forced upon on us regular Simmers who love the game for it's real life comparisons. I respect supernatural fans and of course they should be catered for too but it should always be something that people can avoid if they wish.

I would welcome an off switch, but I'd rather have these options:
-----

• Add an on/off switch for ghosts and aliens and whenever any new supernatural is added, one for them too.
  
• Advanced options for aliens:
  
  
  
  • Adjustable abduction frequency (zero, low, medium, high, extreme)
    
  • Adjustable post-abduction-pregnancy frequency (never, low, medium, high, always) and an option to enable female Sims to become pregnant after abduction.
    
  • On/off switch for male pregnancy, with a ‘male aliens only’ option (meaning male aliens can get pregnant, but male Sims can’t).
    
  
  

-----
With these options every player can choose the flavour they like - and they should be able to pick different settings for each of their save games and be able to change the settings at will.
Honestly, the Sims 4 would improve so much for so many players if we simply got options - it's not a "one size fits all" game.

I disagree, that would be the easy and lazy way, why not be smart and put hands at work and like in previous games add a telescope that isn't the size of a house and have sims explore space or make it so that if you have meteors/space rocks in your inventory or a space ship in you house you get more probability to get abducted? I think that would be more like it.

How would adding sliders be lazy? What @MDianaSanders suggested was brilliant and her ideas would allow players to have full control of how they want aliens to behave in their game.

And maybe I want to have a telescope and space rocks in my inventory and NOT get abducted? Maybe I want a rocket ship without risk of being whisked away by aliens? Didn't think about that, now did you?

Agreed! I am so tired of male sims getting pregnant. I don't mind them getting abducted, but getting pregnant is another story. There are also too many NPC aliens in disguise. Sometimes I like to have my sims date and marry NPCs, but often times that NPC is an alien. Then I had to change my target cuz I don't want alien babies. I wish there is a label for aliens under their name when we put the cursor over them.

Where was it said that it was 'selfish' players fault that we didn't get a new life state in GT?

These sort of options would be fantastic. There are some save files I like to have aliens (or other supernaturals) in and others where I prefer a more realistic lifestyle. It would be nice to have the choice
