Make alien abductions great again
I'm trying to get my sim abudcted and pregnant for my story line but it's so hard and takes a long time and many tries. I remember it used to be easier? After many nights he got abducted but didn't b...

@Olafw1998 with Get to Work you can get your Sim to make two Satellite dishes on the Invention Constructor to keep one at home and a second one at work. Using "Contact Aliens" you can increase the likelihood of being abducted. You can also use the computer (whose name I can't remember but I attach an image) to "contact aliens". Obviously there's Stargazing on the little telescope too which I'm sure you've done.
Have you also checked your Male Sim can get pregnant in CAS? Worth mentioning just incase.
With a satellite dish in the garden my Sim gets abducted all the time, so that might be your best bet if you have Get to Work.🪐
@simsplayer818 I have been using the satelite dish and the telescope to "search for the truth". My Sim also has his logic skill maxed out. But even with all of that aliens just don't show up as often as they used to and male Sim don't always come back pregnant. My biggest issue is the fact that the chances of alien abductions are so low that they pretty much never happen randomly and I love those little random, unexpected moments.
its because they tuned down the rate that it happens by a lot so its now very rare. Is still possible though with just using the telescope searching for the truth but will probably need to spend an entire sims week constantly doing it for it to happen.
I agree, they need to increase the chances of this happening.
@Olafw1998mine was getting abducted so many times I had to change the satellite to "Prevent Abductions". Are you using "Contact Aliens" a lot on the specific computer I mentioned and the satellite dish? Also using a small telescope rather than the backyard observatory?
The "contact aliens" interactions are much more effective than the telescope for me.
It's a shame we can't swap games! My poor Scientist Sim was getting zapped up to the mother ship almost daily!
Random abductions were tuned quite sometime ago but that doesn't affect my Scientists and Sims actively looking to be abducted by contacting aliens.
There is an open bug report for abducted males not getting pregnant here:

My Sim wasn't getting abducted, so I used cheats and he didn't even come back pregnant. Were they not always pregnant after abductions in previous games? This is getting so frustrating....
@Olafw1998No the pregnancies are quite random, I've been doing some reading up on it and saw something that mentioned it's a 30% chance. I've been testing this over the weekend with regards to just the abductions (because the Sims I'm testing with were female).
I tested using the small telescope and my Sim didn't get abducted using that at all. She stood there and didn't move until she'd reached level 6 logic skill, so it was a pretty long time. She did get the meteorite though and that's been more common for my Sims with the telescope.
But my Scientist Sim using the computer and satellite dish to "Contact Aliens" did much better and she was regularly abducted.
I wonder if the pregnancy reward/lot traits would help your Sim? So if you make their home lot "on a ley line" and buy them the "fertile" reward trait for 3000 points.
I've had a look at Carl's Sims Guides and if you use the search term "Sims 4 Aliens" it pops up. His guides are always reliable and he has some tips on regular Sim/alien pregnancy without abductions as well as abductions.
