    Without mods, you can still avoid this situation by having a household full (with family, pets or roommates). If there's no place for a new Sim, there won't be any pregnancy.

    You can get rid of a family member (the alien baby) by leting it grow old enough (infant stage should do) to use cheats to severe all family ties, like cas.fulleditmode in order to change the relationship between the parent and the child into CAS. This way the child won't appear in your Sim's family tree anymore.

    By the way, I think male Sims geting abducted and knocked-up is a reference to old science fiction tv serie (probably Star Trek) where a man gets pregnant by mere touch from an alien. There's no intercourse involved at all, unless you consider pollination to be an intercourse.

Since by default only male sims, who by default can't get pregnant, they would have to change the entire abduction system to change it.

@amanda-amethyst At least a cheat code to disable that kind of thing would be nice. There are mods made by random people to disable abductions and remove pregnancy (paid ones), so it probably isn’t that hard to code by the EA devs.

    Unfortunately, the abdution and pregancy by aliens is a feature. It is a longstanding feature of that occult that has been happening since the Sims 2 game. Sorry it doesn't fit your gameplay style. If you play on PC, there are mods that can eliminate that feature, but it will always be a possible outcome in an unmooded game. The actitivies that trigger it have to do with the scientist career or simply gazing at the stars via the telescope. The fix they offered was to send the child back to the alien world, while they still appear in the family pannel, the child does not exist anymore.

        Here's what I found on tvtropes.org page "Bizarre Alien Reproduction":

        Xyrillian females can impregnate human males without the human noticing. The one time this happened in the show she hadn't been aware this was possible. They technically reproduce asexually; the "male" Xyrillians don't contribute any DNA to the process, they just carry the female's child.

        In the case of The Sims, there's clearly an agenda from Aliens to pollinate humans.

        I mentioned earlier that you could prevent pregnancies by having a full household. You can also stop alien abductions from happening in the first place by using a Satellite Dish. Perhaps you could even build a store that sells this object, so non-scientist Sims could use it too.

        I'm sure the General Buzz Grunt would approve.
