But wait I'm confused... you're asking for a friend? That...does..not play the sims??
No, I'm not asking for them. Because I saw what they went through is why I take my stance on this, knowing what triggers can do to a survivor who is trying to manage through things.

This is The Sims. Expect crazy things to happen. It's just a game ffs.
The game's already snowflakey as it is, we don't need to be wasting the devs' time in fitting toggles for everything folk find offensive.
Imagine the uproar if they nerfed Cottage Living because someone was bitten by a fox or fell in ❤️❤️❤️❤️?
It may just be a game, but as I've said many times, subjects such as this can cause real world problems for abuse/attack survivors. I don't think the game is "snowflakey" for trying to give options (though the shrine thing was stupid, it should have been a toggle instead being removed).

@Hearts4u I never wanted to prevent them myself (literally never even see them) so I never knew it was this easy to prevent! So basically we already have an in game toggle, like all the other nerfed stuff....
It seems like this should solve the OP's problem. And I'll just throw in another tip. If you see your sim is "investigating weird lights" or even if you see the ship you just pause and hit the worlds button to go to the world's screen. Soon as you go back to lot Aliens are gone.
But really you shouldn't even have to do this often. My sister tried every thing in her power to get abducted as a scientist and gave up after a few real life weeks?
And since the nerf I only had them twice in "years"
And one of those times I was so excited to finally see one I hit the manage worlds button by accident. That's how I know they are gone when you come back.
So you have at least 2 good solutions here. ?
I'm aware of the device, as stated in my first post. But you have to reach level 8 of the Scientist career to get it, or cheat to unlock it (which if you are a console player you can't even do, everyone always ignores the console players), which can open you up to more attacks in the mean time, plus it only works 24 hours then you have to reset it. Plus, what if you don't want your sim to be a Scientist, is it fair to force every household to be in it just to prevent them?
