Can we disable the aliens abductions and pregnancies in gameplay?

If you're open to mods, you can toggle off alien abductions with MCCC. I can confirm it really works. 

I agree. It would be nice to be able to disable such. I don't really play with aliens and I don't want alien babies.

I agree that this would be a great addition.

AshleighP28​ Thank you for your suggestion. I also would like if those were pack settings you could disable.

I have a ridiculous number of abductions for reasons I understand, occasionally more than one a night (reasons like playing with one or more of my 'SuperSims' that have the alien handshake and an alien way back in their gene pool, Space Rangers, scientists, etc. in my households). Thankfully my sims no longer seem to be upset by it, and I can't remember how long it's been since one was dazed or freaked out about it afterward, but my main sims are pretty beefed up on the whole, genetically &/or skills from long-time play with aging off. However, when this is not the case for a sim in the household, or if I didn't have 'tough' sims, I would love to have the ability to just turn off abductions in a save if it made no sense in my goals or was annoying me. 

I don't play with mods, and using that satellite dish to block them tedious. If enabling the dish continued to block them until turned off that would work, but it does not continue to work later when I return unless I turn it back on, so it is annoying to depend on. My memory is not that strong now-a-days. 😅

On the alien pregnancies thing, I really, really don't want that surprise. Especially in my male sims. I did let one of my main, legacy sims have the baby and raise it and I integrated her into gameplay and the family tree (heck, I had her marry Dante Monty), but that was a stretch for me and I don't want to do it again. I'm just not 'that fun/easy going' in my game. I play 'type A', and want more control than that. 😁 So... I would love the option of disabling those pregnancies.

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. 

In the past, MCCC was a bit more easy to navigate. Nowadays, I only use certain parts of the mod and I like that we at least have that option. I still feel a bit like a novice when using MCCC but I typically use the bare minimum of what it offers like, removing certain bar nights, stopping certain autonomous interactions, pausing pregnancy and adding longer pregnancy durations. Even under the occult section, I have it hide alien disguises since I’m mostly a non occult player. 
Like you, I did want to test out the alien part of things but little did I know it’d happen sooner than later since the npc my sim was dating got her pregnant and I found out after the fact that he was an alien lol I don’t think there’s much with aliens we can do but there is that portal to Sixam and aliens have some niche powers. That’s all I know.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean about male sims being unable to get pregnant or do you mean by terms of woohooing only?
I hope the mod you found works for you.

Yes, I want this option too. Not being able to disable alien abductions and pregnancies (as well as illness) is why I haven't got Get to Work. If I could at least turn off the pregnancies, I wouldn't mind the abductions so much. But I don't want to have to use a certain item or gameplay in every save for every househole I play, nor do I want to have to rely on a mod that if it stops working I'm stuck with that feature. 

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!

If you’re able to use mods, there’s one that I know of that I’ve been using for years and it works like a charm. MCCC. It will also hide the alien disguise if you want it to. If you need help with setting that up, let me know. Otherwise, the only other way that helped me get rid of the alien abductions before I used a mod is via an in game satellite dish that came with Get to Work. It might be a special type of item though as, I don’t think you can find that particular satellite dish without using a cheat. So when you’re in build/buy, open your cheat menu and type in, bb.showhiddenobjects 

Afterwards, in build/buy, only select the Get To Work pack under the drop down to isolate just those objects. You should find the satellite more easily this way. Set it up on your sims roof using the bb.moveobjects on cheat. I like to use this cheat to sink the satellite dish a bit further down into the roof using the 9 key so it doesn’t stick out so much on the roof but you don’t have to use the move objects cheat if you don’t mind how it’s normally placed. The satellite will place fine without the cheat on. I also like to use the satellite dish because it adds an alien channel to your sims tv lol Anyway, once you’re back in live mode, click on the satellite and select the option that stops the alien abductions. If that satellite dish doesn’t work after you do all that, then the pack is just broken like everything else smh

Good Luck

I've been playing the Sims for more than 20 years and I've had exactly one alien abduction in my game in all this time, namely in Sims 4, and they abducted a female who was doing the Strangerville quest. They abducted her in Britechester. I also think that people who get abductions often are regularly engaging in alien related gameplay. Could also be that my sims rarely pursue the logic skill, maybe the aliens don't find them smart enough.
