So I recently traveled to Sixam with both my scientist and astronaut Sims, only to find it completely empty. I know this is by design for some reason, but I'd REALLY like it to be a little more exciting. It's a beautiful world! Other than some collectibles (which are not Sixam-specific and can be found elsewhere in the game), there's nothing to do and no one to interact with. Also, Aliens (like mermaids) deserve a skill tree!PRETTY PLEASE! 🙂(Edited to include photo here)

You've got my Me Too. I love Sixam but want to be able to do more there. I'd like to be able to camp there too or add a base for scientist Sims. 👽

@LadyAofPineapple There's a special random event on Sixam if you have a scientists. You need to make a teleport gate and put it in the laboratory (it needs to stay always there). The next work day (you need to follow your sim to work), there's a chance a pop up appearing with the request to go to Sixam (it's random, so it could be another day). See what happens then 😉In any case I agree with you, Sixam and aliens needs an update.

@GiardiniDiMarzoReally? I have a fully updated portal but I don't think I ever left it in the lab. It's in my (lvl 10) scientist's lab at home, however she's now dead and a ghost, so she's no longer a scientist. ☹️ Does the sim have to be a high level scientist for this to happen?But still, that seems like a tiny thing to have happen for them to have built a whole alien planet around. Although it's not like there's anything going on in Sylvan Glade either and you can go there, lol.Thanks for the tip!PS I have gone to sixam with the portal before, but not as a work event so nothing shows up I guess. I just could swear I've gone there before and seen aliens walking around, but I've never played the scientist career before now, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

@LadyAofPineapple You need to be an active scientist, have the skills to make the portal and put it in the workplace. And obviously go to work with your sim everyday.It's a work event yes, simple but funny, I don't want to spoil too much. 😉

@LadyAofPineapple have you found the Geodes to collect? They are only found on Sixam. I'm attaching an image for you incase you haven't spotted them as they're often hidden in foliage. They look a bit like a chess pawn and you collect the little ball from the top and in your personal inventory you polish them and can display them at home. They look really pretty.I've also created some nice paintings from reference on Sixam before too. I can't remember where my Sim placed the easel (possibly just used Place in World) 🤦. But she made some really nice paintings of the scenery. It's been a while though since I did that.

@simsplayer818 That would be amazing! As it stands right now, I barely interact with aliens in the regular worlds, but I feel I would more if they had more love given to them, lol. It just feels like they were a complete afterthought of the pack's design.

@GiardiniDiMarzoI don't know how I've missed that! I'll have to check it out because I've got one of those in my lab basement. Thank you so much for posting that.

@simsplayer818 I think the gate needs to be updated with all the updates available to be able to go to Sixam.

@GiardiniDiMarzo My Sim got her invite to Sixam to join the event!
I figured out why I haven't seen it before, it's because I stop playing them once they reach level 10 of the science career because I don't like the eyewear that goes with the new career outfit 🤦.
Thanks again for the tip!

@simsplayer818Oh ok, I will try to complete the geode collection with my "not so berry" yellow sim (astronaut). The mint generation (scientist) is long gone, though, so no invites to Sixam for the foreseeable future I guess. ☹️

I will also try the paint from reference now that that's fixed and they are no longer black. I do wish the images were clear like they used to be and not cracked looking.

Thanks!
PS Congrats on getting the invite!
