That people hate children have never affected their ability to have neither in the Sims or in real life.
I have always been rather disturbed by this involuntary pregnancy after an alien abduction thing, and it's the main reason I haven't bought the Get To Work EP. Is there any way to shut that feature off?

@RandomBuzziness, I never thought of the Alien pregnancies as involuntary since we never see what goes on board the space ship. I always assumed that those males that come back pregnant agreed to the experiment either out of curiosity, or for the betterment of science. 🤓 Seems like it is a surgery anyway since the baby that is born is always an Alien. Babies born in game with one Alien parent and one Human parent are hybrids and won't be like the babies that you get by abductions.
You can't turn it off in game controls, but you can prevent abductions from happening in the first place.🙂 In the Scientist career there is a satellite dish that you can make while at work, or for your non-scientists you can use cheats to have the satellite be available to you. Once the satellite is in place on any lot, you can use the "Prevent Abductions" interaction! 🙌- RandomBuzziness6 years agoSeasoned Ace@PugLove888 Thanks, it is good to know that at least the abductions can be prevented for anyone not wishing to become a science experiment. Even if the process is surgical it still results in a pregnancy, so I think some form of "yes, I consent to this experiment" or "no thanks" option would have been better.
Just to clarify, does the satellite dish only prevent abductions on the lot where it is placed or is it some kind of over-all blanket prevention that extends to all lots in all worlds?

@RandomBuzzinessyou can send the baby back. I actually don't mind that. was just shocked cause dude isn't an astronaut or scientist and has never looked through a telescope.
BTW the dish only works on the lot installed and abductions only happen with active sims.
I moved in an elder alien sim next door and gave her the baby as I might play her after my elder sim dies, if I let him die.
Also turns out my sim loves aliens, which I didn't know before the abduction.
This game is funny
