That's a biiggggg reply :D
Honestly didn't realize female aliens or aliens in general could do that. That's pretty interesting. Actually the first time hearing it just figured the gender option might come in handy if it wasn't working. :)
I would be curious to know if that feature was taken out or not. Though I RARELY get to play with aliens and see them in game less it's alien night or my sim happens to flirt with an alien by accident in disguise which is still rare.
The update does come in handy if you want to switch creation roles, makes interesting story plots for your sims to go through, but when it’s only ONE option, you tend to feel how lacking it is after having both, if only in a strange and rare form.
And yeah, when I first figured it out I was like “THIS IS SO WEIRD BUT SO COOL I MUST LOOK MORE INTO ALIENS”, it was specified to just the female alien sims, whilst male aliens had the basic same layout as human males, though it was fun to see that male aliens could get pregnant by being abducted same as the regular dudes, if not a little disheartening knowing the guys had sort of been left out of having any special ability of their own.
From a run where my human guy only had flings with alien females, I can say with almost 100% certainty that the features been removed, they all had babies, he didn’t, not once except for the one time he was actively whisked away via space ship.
Having time to think about it, I’m wondering if it was a programming issue, as when your male sim has a baby via abduction, the other parent is always female, no matter what, the alien is always a woman, least for me, haven’t heard of any simmers having a dude alien be the spawn parent, but again, I’m wondering if the code from that sort of leaked into household alien sims, everything has code and it would makes sense, the game registers a female alien and assumes she has the same code as the NPC generated ones used to stand in family trees when your male sim has an alien baby via abduction.
Basically, the game did an oopsie and gave all alien women the default function, which isn’t bad, but once EA noticed it they were obviously quick to repair it, not realising the oops was actually a fun oops to have around.
Or maybe someone was offended and so they thought “hey it’s early days into the pack, let’s remove it and hope nobody notices”
If it was removed for whatever reason, I hope they explain why with good reason or cast a vote to see who wants it back.
(Again sorry for the long reply)
