Agreed. I am BEGGING for a way to permanently toggle off alien abductions in the game. Or if not, at least for the abductions to respect the "unable to get pregnant" settings my Sims have. I was really hoping that would stop abduction pregnancies, but no! I don't mind the abductions so much, but I'm playing mostly male households and the impregnation side of things is gross to me. I don't want any part of it.
I'm not against using mods to stop this. I HAVE been using one. But since the last game patch it has stopped working. Mods are great, until this happens. So I am desperate for a proper in-game option that doesn't rely on third party fixes getting updated.
There's an in-game item that stops it? Cool. But it has to be re-enabled every 24 game hours. I just want to switch off and forget! Not to mention I don't want to have to put the satellite dish down in my lot.
I've had to go back to using the "resetsim" cheat to rescue my guys when the weird light shows up. It really affects my enjoyment of the game when every night I'm having to keep watch and make sure they're not at risk of getting yanked skywards.
In my search for a more permanent fix I've seen there have been a lot of requests for an in-game setting to prevent abductions, with some dating back years. Seriously, why has this not been added before now?
I love a lot of the Back to Work EP, but this does make me regret the purchase somewhat.
If you're open to mods, you can toggle off alien abductions with MCCC. I can confirm it really works.
