Alien Abduction cheat?

There are no cheats to boost the chances of abduction no.
You could try moving your sim to the gallery and moving him to a new save game.
(Move aint the correct word, copy is, anyways)

OMG there is no cheat for something in this game?
A cheat doesn't exist? In a game that contains more cheats than actual gameplay content?

This is a step into the right direction EA!
Thumb up.

To OP, I still didn't try that part of the game, if I find out what can boost your chances I'll post. I don't use cheats. Ever. Cheats make games boring.
But have to add something very important.
Science carrer doesn't exist in my base game.

Over at Mod the Sims @Spacey72659 has an abduction mod and it works great with all kinds of options! It even allows you to get your females "pollinated"!

Alrighty so I've spent a week (irl) trying to get my male Sim abducted and then pregnant. I don't mind the pregnancy as much but I've tried all I can! He's the top of the science career, owns plenty of space gems on his lot, has built a rocket, he's gone to the planet Sixam, is friends with lots of aliens and has a girlfriend who's an alien, and contacts aliens every night to improve chances of abduction. Nothing works! Does anyone have any tips or know of a cheat that can help boost chances?

I don't use mods or cc so please don't suggest them! Thankyou anyway o:)

As others have discussed, I don't believe there is a non-mod cheat. That said I have had two different male sims in my game become abducted in the past week. In each instance, the abduction has happened immediately after loading a saved game. I have also noticed that there are other events that routinely trigger after a loading screen. Bills for example. In my game bills routinely come Monday morning. Sometimes the bill system glitches out and if they don't come they get triggered upon the next loading screen. I would suggest you alter your play style to increase the number of loading screens you go through. There seems to be a series of routine checks the game goes through when it loads. This appears to include the random event generation.

OP did say no mods though.

Thanks everyone, I'm trying and I'll post whenever (and if ever) I get abducted! Fingers crossed hehe o:)

Hmm. Don't know what to tell you -- as others have said, there's no in-game cheat for it, just a mod. It almost sounds like you might have a glitch to me, as I have had my own Sim abducted like 3 times without even trying. My Sim is female, and an astronaut, not a scientist. She has an alien roommate who is a scientist and they do have a satellite antenna but I have not used it to contact the aliens.

Interaction with aliens seems to help. The last abduction came after my Sim went out on a date with a guy who turned out to be an alien. He reached 'Very Flirty' on the date and started glowing, so she 'discovered' him. Shortly after that, she went exploring space, returned, and was abducted as soon as she exited her rocket.

My Sim's house/yard is decorated with all the goodies she's brought back from her space missions, so there are space rocks, alien life forms and so forth on the lot, which I assume may boost the chance of abduction. But it sounds like you have all that too.

ETA: I wonder if the Sim's attitude toward aliens plays into things at all? (No idea, just wondering.) One thing I noticed is that my astronaut Sim is definitely considered 'pro-alien' by the game, I guess. When she discovered her date was an alien, she didn't get angry, she got a positive 'xenophilia' (or something like that) moodlet.

Here's something:

Someone mentioned (I forget who, I'm fairly certain it was on this thread though) being abducted immediately after stepping off the rocketship, though he/she attributed that to it just being easier for him/her to get abducted. However, I think space exploration may be the key - I've been trying to get abducted for weeks (simtime), working my way up the scientist career, befriending/contacting aliens, even using a cheat to get a space rock to put in my inventory; all for naught. But the second I stepped off the rocketship, though I hadn't even contacted aliens that night, I got abducted. Try space exploration.

Hello @Pettyy. It is great that your sim got abducted after you were trying for a long time to have your sim abducted! You would have been excited when you eventually saw it happen in your game! :)

The rocket tip helped out, I went to geekcon to use the rocket and then alien night to chat up a couple of aliens, the only downside is that I didn't see the abduction when he got home from the bar because I was tabbed out :sweat_smile:.
