I did try MCCC, but didn't like how its menu system worked. Thanks for the suggestion though. Thankfully, I THINK I've got the mod I have been using working again, so hopefully that's the issue sorted for me.
Thanks for the tip on moving the satellite dish around. At least if I end up having to resort to that I can try hiding it a bit!
Honestly, I WANT to play around more with the alien stuff! It's the pregnancy side of things that bugs me more than the actual abductions, and really disappointing that "unable to get pregnant" settings for male Sims are completely ignored by the alien mechanic. I'd be happy if at least THAT much was fixed!
Kisrah, The setting in CAS are for pregnancy to happen via woohoo (try for baby) only. At least that was my understanding when it was first introduced. It did not prevent the possibility of pregnancy via alien abduction because the game handles that possibility differently. Like I said there was already an in-game way to prevent it. From your other responses, it sounds like you were exploring that part of the pack anyway. Btw, playing generational or with aging off should not make a difference. From what little I learned via research, the chance of alien abduction is based on gameplay interactions you choose. I played the scientist career and did not click any of the alien references gameplay.
