Well, it kinda worked.

The copy and paste worked okay. The "unlink" option isn't available for aliens however. Must be only mermaids and/or vampires.

It copied the alien look just fine, everything, looked exactly the same. Every time I pasted the "disguised" look, it looked perfect until I removed the disguise and put it back on, then they looked different. Not sure what's going on there. I think it's a bug with there being no "unlink" option.
I tried it several different ways, pasting the disguised look won't stick. It keeps the outfits and hair, but the face changes. You can then modify in CAS and adjust them manually, and that sticks just fine.
This is the best I can come up with:
Download the sim with the "alien" look you like.
Switch to disguised look.
MCCC-MC CAS-Copy/Paste-Paste Tray Sim (select the human to copy) Paste now
Switch to alien look
Switch to disguised look.
The sim's disguised will look different. You can then use MCCC to take them into CAS and adjust the disguised look manually.

@Psychotps I managed to do it too. Works perfect for me.

It took some work and some final adjustments after copying both parts of the Sims (the alien and the disguise) and at the end I still had to tinker a bit with the hair, eyes and pupils of both. But I have to grant it to you. It worked fine for me.

But the question remains if will it also work for you @AL40491. So please follow the instructions that Pychotps (great work by the way) gave. And when necessary do some final adjustments.

Have fun playing 😉

This is how mine came out. Shoulders are wider, eyes, skin, lips are wrong. Needs touching up, but it's ok I guess. It looked perfect before I removed the disguise and put it back on. Wonder if it's a bug with MCCC?

Looks like some kind of issue copy/pasting from a human occult to an alien occult.

@Psychotps I didn't use the tray (Sim) option. I used all parts: body, face, skin and copied the subsequently on either the disguise or the original. For the disguise I had to tinker with the eyes and hair. The final result looks like this. By the way I did it both ways and after that I used the method of playing with genes as I suggested and the results ar similar. So I can't say anything about the possibility of a bug or glitch in MCCC

@Trismagistos Yeah, I tried both too. Didn't look any better. Mine just won't copy all the settings permanently. Yours came out better than mine did. My Elsa is heavily adjusted. Spent a long time getting her perfect. Wanted to give it a good test. My alien wasn't as heavily adjusted, maybe that's why she worked better.

It works okay though. Not that we have much choice. It's the only way I know of, unless someone comes out with some kind of mod.
