Re: Townie Aliens Won’t Disguise Themselves
@tekntonk depends how you play and what the game randomly decides what to do. If you live in a particular world where it generates disguised aliens for walking by on the street outside your house, then wouldn't notice those until you checked them in CAS or they did something alien in front of you.
If you visit a bar on alien night, if you have enough of those, it will just summon those disguised aliens to the bar and you'd never notice.
For alien night at the bar, if the game detects that it doesn't have enough aliens to populate the bar, it generates new sims - the template it uses for bar nights only generates undisguised aliens. So there's one explanation for you if you've never had a scientist or been to Sixam for a source of aliens appearing. Maybe in previous games you'd never visit bars on Tuesday nights or you had enough disguised aliens in the population to cover it all.
Myself, I never visit bars on Wednesdays because I don't want ghosts generating in my game (for Ghost Night). So I never see any.
For retail lots, customers can be anybody. Aliens included. I don't think the game will generate an alien just to be a customer - so you must have already had some generated, probably from an alien bar night.
