For those who would like to read the story without going to my site I'm going to start posting the text here. But to see the images you'll need to go to the page for now.
So here's the story so far.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
XCom Invades The Sims4

Mr. Bean has returned from a hard day of work as a Police officer in San Myshuno. He turns on the local news as he tries to relax and the reporter gives the most exciting news.... Cydonia Has Fallen! The world celebrates the XCom victory over the alien invaders.
Or at least that's what you would think would happen but it did not happen that way.
The truth is that yes Cydonia, the Alien base on Mars has fallen. And XCom has succeeded in ending the invasion by the many alien species that were terrorizing and threatening to take over the world. Many countries had fallen victim and signed pacts with the aliens. But this was a secret war. The incidents that took place were covered up. Leaders did not want to cause panic so they hid the truth. Some areas of the world had not been attacked yet by the aliens. The city of San Myshuno and its nearby towns, Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest, Brindleton Bay, and Windenburg went about their lives unaware that anything had happened. But they were only temporarily shielded from the unknown. As it turns out the Aliens had sent in several teams of the Sectoid race and a few of the others to begin terrorizing and infiltrating. And this is where we begin....

For those who are unaware Cydonia had an alien Brain that was able to mind control other aliens using Psionics. The Xcom force had researched Psionics and had learned to train their own team in its use. Thus they were able to not only block the mind control but also use it against their enemies. When they destroyed the Brain it ended the war. But there were still aliens on Earth. In this case our group of Sectoids were on missions. Will they continue these missions? Can they? Will XCom find the remaining Aliens and wipe them out? Will the Aliens stay on Earth in hiding? Will they learn to coexist with Humans and live in peace? This is the story of the Sectoids of San Myshuno and what happens to them after the Fall of Cydonia...

Sol 1 aka Day 1

Here we find a Sectoid collapsed on the ground beneath a small alien scout ship.

Sectoids are a race of Alien clones that are mind controlled. They are like the pawns of the alien war. They like the other races have ranks. There are Commanders and Leaders. There are also Medics, Engineers, and Navigators. Lastly simple Soldiers. All were deadly foes in the war. Especially if an XCom soldier was mind controlled by Sectoids to fire upon his own team. But this one is alone. It is disoriented and confused and unable to contact his kind. Assuming this is a male, he may not even know how to care for himself without the orders from the higher Brain.
He has found himself landed behind a two story simple house in broad daylight. He may not even know that he is an alien to this world. But he must do something.
So he makes his way inside the dwelling and discovers that it is empty. and he sits for a moment to gather himself. Perhaps to....Think?

Sol 1 Exploring the Neighborhood

Still dazed and confused the Sectoid, not realizing he is a strange being, takes a walk to explore the area. He comes across many strange structures that do not seem to be similar to his original location. The first is very large and upon entry he finds that its damaged on the inside and large fires are burning in ruin piles.
He strolls to another location and finds two smaller similar structures. Something seems familiar about these structures but nothing he touches is able to give him any clues. Nothing is able to be powered up. He either doesn't know how to turn them on or they have no power source.

He then moves on to another location where a very large structure stands. Something very familiar about this one. Yet still unknown. He proceeds to explore all 3 of its floors. This structure looks odd somehow. It looks to be a mix of familiar and not so familiar objects.

As he exits he notices an opening in the ground with a structure allowing access to something below.

He enters a large underground habitat of some sort. Something very familiar about this. But it too appears to have been altered. He finds some objects on a surface in a far room and upon touching one it begins to speak to him somehow. Almost as if its zapping the language into him like a form of energy. Its apparently downloading itself into him. But its very limited information he is receiving. He can't discern it. He sets it down still running. It seems to be drawing him to it. As if its telling him where it is. He feels a pulse from inside his head as if an object inside is drawn to the other like a magnet. But he is now exhausted and passes out.

Sol 1 - The Other Missions

At the time of The Alien Brain's death the other Aliens were on Missions. Before we continue with our current character lets show where the others are and what they were up to.
First up over in Willow Creek we have a Sectoid Leader and a Sectoid Medic on an abduction mission. They are in disguise and entering the home of Bob and Eliza Pancakes. While Eliza would be the closest target they choose instead to head upstairs to attempt to abduct Bob. The Medic watches the doorway while the Leader attempts to subdue Bob. During the ensuing struggle Leader's disguise is ripped away and at this same moment on Mars, The Brain is being obliterated by heavy plasma. The loss of Psionic connection causes both Sectoids to experience a loss of consciousness. Bob manages to step back from the struggle only to discover in horror what has been attacking him. He goes into survival mode and attacks the Leader. Without being able to comprehend his situation the Leader is defenseless and Bob lands several blows. And then throws the alien to the ground with a huge thud. Eliza by now has heard the commotion and has retrieved a hunting rifle. She enters the upstairs room thinking she is about to shoot a "Normal" intruder only to be shocked by the presence of a pale skinned dark eyed monster. She screams and her shriek startles the Medic back into awareness. Eliza does not see the Medic. Bob picks up the Leader as Eliza takes horrified aim. As she pulls the trigger the Medic tackles her. Eliza hits her head on the gym equipment and is knocked out dropping the rifle. Bob darts over and wrestles with the Medic for control of it. The Leader slowly coming out of his daze is now back to his feet when a shot rings out. The Leader screams an awful tone as the bullet rips through both his arm and wall landing somewhere off in the distant creek. The Medic now in a survival panic lunges toward the Leader and they both crash through the window and tumble over the balcony railing. Another alien scream as the Leader breaks his right leg on impact. The Medic is a bit luckier as she lands in the bushes with minor scrapes.

As with our previous character they are confused and do not know where their ship is at. The Medic picks up the Leader as best as she can and trudges with him to a nearby park. She lays him down on the bench while she tries to collect herself. and this is where they will end Sol 1.

Back in Newcrest....

As Sol 1 started in another neighborhood of Newcrest a different Medic was on her own mission. She was instructed to infiltrate the home of a Human and steal her identity and scan her mind. Further instructions were to follow. She landed her small scout ship in the rear of the home and upon entry scanned the first human she saw. This scan accessed the memories and knowledge of the human and also pacified the human's knowledge of the Medic being an alien. The Medic could now live with this human and also assume her identity. Using the supplies she possessed she fashioned a well cloned facsimile to cloak in. As her new host was still dazed from her mind scan the Medic went outside to begin the next part of her mission. But just then the Brain was destroyed and as before the Sectoid fell to the ground as if someone flipped an off switch.

About a half an hour later the human goes out to get her mail and sees what appears to her is a human. Even though the cloaking has failed the human is still under the influence of her mind alteration. She only sees a human lying on the ground and wants to help her. She brings the Medic back into her home and offers her some orange juice. This is unfamiliar to the alien who is used to eating things that superior aliens had processed for her race to ingest. But the Human holds the glass and gives her a sip and then the Medic drinks the rest on her own. The sensations are odd. But they are somehow stimulating the Sectoid's brain and she is starting to snap out of it a bit. But how much remains to be seen. The Human asks, "Are you alright? My name is Clair Huron. I found you outside. You can stay here until you're feeling better." The Medic responds "My name is Clair Huron."......

Meanwhile on Sol 1

over in Oasis Springs as the Brain is killed on Cydonia a Supply Ship is flying overhead. As before the loss of Psionic link causes the Sectoids on board to lose consciousness. The ship crashes killing all on board except a female Engineer. As she comes to she is sitting in the control room. She isn't sure what is going on or who she is but she reaches forward and touches an object in front of her. Its a similar to the object that the first Sectoid touched in the first part of the story. As before it seems to download something into her. Its as if her mind has been rebooted with instructions. It tells her that she is an Engineer and that the ship is malfunctioning. She then goes into action and powers down the ship. As she heads down to the power supply floor she sees that two of the three units are exploded and on fire. She manages to extinguish the flames and then collapses outside the craft after breathing in too much smoke.

Also in Oasis Springs...

On the morning of Sol 1 a group of Sectoids in a Large Scout Ship had landed in another area of the world. A team of XCom soldiers had assaulted their landing site and had killed all but one of the Sectoids. But they also were taking heavy casualties and had to abort the mission. The lone Sectoid, a male Navigator was able to take off and was on his way back to base when he was flying over Oasis Springs at the time the Brain was defeated. As before he too lost consciousness and his ship plummeted towards the ground. But since he was at a higher altitude he had time to come to and like the Engineer was close to an alien computer and after regaining his memory instructions was able to gain control of his craft and land safely in Oasis Springs.

So to recap as Sol 1 ends...

We have a Navigator and an Engineer in separate locations of Oasis Springs at sites of Alien craft.
In Willow Creek the Leader and Medic are in the park resting after their failed abduction of Bob Pancakes. The Leader has a broken leg and a gunshot wound to the arm.
In Newcrest the other Medic has assumed the identity of Clair Huron and has brainwashed her. But the alien has not regained her memory yet.
And the Alien from the beginning of the story as it turns out has found the site of an Alien Base and Battleship that had begun to be recovered and dismantled by someone. Possibly XCom? But at this time no humans were on site. Stairs had been added allowing access to upper levels of the ship and access to the underground base. When he touched the computer object it downloaded his instructions. He is a Sectoid Commander. An Elder aged Commander with several missions completed in his lifetime. When he touched the computer it turned back on partial power to the base and sent out a homing signal. But at this time its only able to reach short range. But it has linked up with the other still operational computers. This means that eventually the others can find the base if things go well....

I appreciate it if you are reading. Thank You

I think this is a really cool idea! I've also combined a different videogame with the Sims.

It's so cool seeing elements of a strategy game acted out in the Sims 4. Keep up the good work!

Thanks. Yours sounds cool too.
I was basically looking for ideas of reasons to do certain things in the game. And I hadn't done anything with the Aliens yet so it started as one character was going to do one thing and it has become a full blown thing I'm planning to do. I just have to have days to be able to work on it. I've been building things in the game and jotting down ideas in a notebook when on work breaks and such. The hardest part so far has been getting it started because with so many characters separated I had to figure out who is doing what first. And why.

Oh, don't I know it! It's a challenge to make sure all the details fit and to figure out where you're going with the whole thing.

Sol 2 - A New Day For Sectoids

As Sol 2 Begins over in Oasis Springs the Engineer has heard the homing beacon from the Navigator's Ship and has found it. Upon meeting they discuss what they know and then decide they need to find a better area to land and conceal the ship. They wait until nightfall and fly towards Newcrest. While flying over they pick up a trace of the Base's homing beacon. They touch down and activate a new type of cloaking device and then set out to rendezvous at the Base.
The Commander and other two assemble in the control room and discuss the situation. Which is this...
The computer has only given them basic information. It tells them they are Sectoids. It lets them know they are on an Alien World. But it does not tell them much if anything about the war or the other aliens. Even some basic survival knowledge may be missing. Much will depend on what if anything they can remember or discover.
They begin to tour the Base and the above Battleship to take an inventory of items. The instructions tell them how to eat alien food which they do have some of but its a small supply and with the power out may have spoiled. There are a few fuel storage cells but they are empty. The Commander tells them of the other nearby ships and they make plans to go check them out but will wait until dark to venture out.

Meanwhile in Willow Creek...

At about 2am on Sol 2 Medic has collected herself enough to begin to tend to Leader a bit. She has lost her memory but she still seems to know enough to tend to the Leader's wounds. In the distance she sees something familiar to her somehow and decides to travel with the Leader to it. Upon arrival its a Farm site. She doesn't know anything about the area or why its familiar but she takes the Leader upstairs in a hayloft area of a barn and decides to make shelter there for now.

Sol 2 - Back at Clair's

As we left off Clair had given the Medic some orange juice and this conversation had begun.
The Human asks, "Are you alright? My name is Clair Huron. I found you outside. You can stay here until you're feeling better." The Medic responds "My name is Clair Huron."...


Clair responded, "Oh you must be my cousin from Sunset Valley. I'm sorry I haven't been out that way to meet you yet. I've been a bit busy lately. I just moved here to Newcrest. I was living over in Willow Creek for a while but I wanted a change. I haven't even really done anything with this place yet. I still need to get furniture and plumbing fixtures. And I definitely need to upgrade the kitchen. It just won't do. You see I'm trying to become a Culinary Arts Instructor but there aren't many openings in that field. I was working as a pastry chef for a while but I took a break so I could move here. I want to learn to cook everything. But not just that, I want to have a big garden and use fresh ingredients. I'd like to write a cook book or maybe start a web page. But I really want to teach. I just love food. So what brings you here Clair?"

The Medic somehow is regaining some of her memory. She has not touched the computer like the others. But something about the juice triggered something. And this conversation just seems logical to her. and she replies, "I just love food" repeating Clair again.

Clair responds, "That's great. Would you like to stay for a while and cook with me? How long can you stay? I'd just love it if you could. We just need to get a few things. But I hope you can stay. I'd love for you to stay."

Medic responds, "Like to stay for a while and cook."

Clair exclaims, "Awesome! We're going to have fun."

Clair leads them both upstairs and says "There's only one bed but you can have it tonight. I'm not tired yet so I'll just nap in the chair. But tomorrow we're going shopping."
And with that Sol 2 aka Day 2 ends... But the rest is now beginning...

:D That was really funny! When will Clair realize that the Medic is just repeating things back to her?
