@AprilTheSimmer96 I'm not sure if we are talking about the same program here. The one I use is Microsoft Rewards and I get points for doing Internet searches, taking quizzes, voting on daily polls, stuff like that. As far as I know, mine has nothing to do with XBox achievements. There are bonuses for participating X number of days in a row. I usually earn between 6000 and 7000 points a month. I've been gradually adding Sims 4 content for the last year and a half & I use these points to supplement my gaming budget. Now I have all of the expansion packs except for one & that's by choice-- I don't like for my Sims to get abducted by aliens so no Get to Work for me (I might change my mind about this some day).
@RandomBuzzinessYeah I have the Bing app so I can search on Bing and get points and I have done a quiz and a poll. Also the Rewards app on my Xbox One X has punch cards where you can do whatever's on them to earn points (like one punch card had "Donate" on it where you could use points to donate but all I had to do was just press A on it to get to the donation screen then press B to exit and I still got the points from it). ☺️
Also about Get to Work, I read that alien abductions have a better chance of happening if you have any kind of relationship with the aliens, if I remember correctly. I think I was reading an article on Carl's Sims 4 Guide (I think it was his "Secrets in The Sims 4" guide). And I think once I read somewhere that if you have a romantic relationship with an alien, that could increase your Sim's chances of being abducted. ☺️ So maybe I should watch a video on YouTube or look up how to prevent abductions from happening 100% because I also don't want my male Sims getting abducted (especially Maui, because I don't think he'd look good pregnant). 😅
But maybe someday I'll make a male Sim or use one of the townies and have them get abducted. Idk. 😆
@AprilTheSimmer96 Yeah there are probably things you can do to increase the odds of being abducted, but outside of mods I don't think there is any way to 100% prevent the abductions unless you use the satellite dish and stay on your home lot from 10 pm to 4 am every night. My Sims aren't even interested in being friends with those creepy pollinators let alone date one & there's no way I want to keep them home every night. I remember a thread from a while back where one player had her elder male Sim get abducted 3 times in just a few days with at least one pregnancy. I usually play female Sims so I don't have to worry about the pregnancy thing like your Maui, but females can still get abducted. I can use MCCC to prevent all of it, but on XBox you'd have to take your chances with this pack.
