Abduction/male pregnancy

Set up the satellite dish from the science career on your home lot and contact aliens. This increases abductions, I believe, and may also bring alien visitors to your house. Abductions happen at night, so have sims stay up late in case the weird sparkles appear outside. Have autonomy on so that they can investigate the sparkles and get abducted.

If you want to stop abductions later, the satellite dish has an option to prevent them too.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct spot to post this ask, so forgive me if it isn't, but I've got a problem. I have a household of 2 male sims, married, so on. One is a level 8 scientist, level 10 rocket science, and the other is level 10 rocket science, level 8 doctor. They've both been abducted MULTIPLE times, like, easily 15 times at best and never come back pregnant. Ever. I've gone to sixam with both boys a handful of times. They have crystals and alien flowers/space rocks in their inventories. I've even become so desperate to have them mess around and try alien lovers to see if that would help. Granted, as soon as they came back home they were abducted, or abducted later that night... but no pregnancies happened. Is my game glitching? I've had the focused moodlet and the dazed moodlet as well, but never the sparkly belly or mysterious stomach ache. It's pretty frustrating because while I'm new to all of this, I've read about how male pregnancies via aliens are really hard to come by anymore. And I know there are mods, but I tend to stay away from those. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm about to give up on it aha.

There were complaints about too many male pregnancies so they tweaked the settings. Some people went as far as to rant about Sims being subjected to forced woo hoo while in the space ship....yep that's right.

From the patch notes.

Our overly-friendly visitors from Sixam were a bit too amorous. We've reduced the frequency of alien abductions and further reduced the frequency of male pregnancy thereafter. We know our men are good looking but that's no excuse!

Tried all of that. They have no issue being abducted, they just aren't ever getting pregnant. That's what I was confused on. If it were my game or just my luck.

I use a mod now as I just can not ever get male/alien abductions that result in pregnancy. It is such a shame that EA tweaked it so hard that it is now virtually impossible.

No, it doesn't seem to slow my game at all. I can't remember the name of the mod but I'll go look and post back soon. I really like the mod as it has a few different flavors. I use the one where the instant you click the satellite the sim gets abducted and 100% comes back pregnant but you can have it so it is a 50/50 chance and so on. I don't leave the mod in for all my game files, just for the ones where I want an male sim/alien pregnancy. It's so easy to pop it into the mods folder and take it back out etc.

*edited. "forced woohoo' has to be the st.upidest statement I have ever read about the sims 4. Sorry, I don't normally preach but far out... that really takes the prize. How very annoying that it was because of "concerns" such as those that a very cool feature was removed from the game. For those of you who feel this way, I ask you... have you ever made a sim have a nooboo when there was no whim to have a nooboo? Have you ever made a sim woohoo when there was no whim to woohoo with someone? Isn't that 'forcing' a sim to do something they don't want to do by your reasoning? What about dancing, kissing, making a friend? This just hits the realm of nonsense.

Maybe try buying the Fertile trait, getting a fertility massage or making a fertility remedy?

This makes no difference, unfortunately. It is all about the RNG for alien abduction pregnancy.

Oi. But if they're abducted...aren't they technically still experiencing "forced woo hoo?".....

Also, @NZsimm3r, does the mod slow your game at all? I wish they wouldn't have made it so freaking hard and took everyone into consideration instead of seemingly taking it away entirely.

I agree with you NZ. I found it pretty ridiculous.

And .... @justtheseclothes ....nope I don't see it that way. Here's my take. Your Sim gets abducted and no pregnancy...must have been the day for another kind of experiment. Maybe they were even playing Gin Rummy and drinking juice with the aliens. If they come back with a pregnancy I figure they're an implant. Aliens are supposed to be smart and I think they'd know a little bit about physiology and an implant was the way to go.

To me if someone is imagining forced woo hoo when their Sim gets snatched they have a more deviant mind than I do....and that's saying something.

When they get abducted save when they are away if they are not pregnant exit without saving come back try agin sorry for my grammar

I was having the same issue but then I found this an it works wonders first type in: testingcheats on the type in: stats.set_stat commodity AlienAbduction_cooldown 0,
and then hit enter then next type: interactions.push AlienAbduction_BeAbducted,

i did that 4 times and the fourth time he came back and his stomach region sparkled and now he is pregnant by abduction.

I'm sorry to hear there have been so many complaints, as the tweaking drives down the possibilities for those of us who want this to happen. I never had a male Sim get abducted in Sims3, let alone come home preggars. This is upsetting. There are already measures given in-game to help prevent an abduction. It's a bit maddening that some can take away a very wild and funny aspect of the game. It's already dumbed down enough.
