Alien abductions out of control

I've had one abduction, right after I bought the telescope. Fortunately, my Sim came back unpregnant (that was not the storyline I wanted to play), and I cheated to get the satellite to prevent further abductions. I agree that it's annoying that it has to be reactivated every 24 hours, though. Since you have to wait the full 24 hours, and it takes about 15 minutes to activate it, the time gets later every day, so it's not something you can integrate into their daily tasks, and I tend to forget to do it, so I end up with odd expiration times.

I'd rather not have aliens in my game at all - I wish they'd been in a separate pack, like vampires - but I don't want them nerfed, either. That's not fair to the people who bought the pack to get aliens. I'd prefer a satellite that simply works all the time (and doesn't require a scientist or cheat to get it) for those of us who don't want abductions.
