I think alien abductions are out of control in my current game. My current household is a couple of collectors with the goal to complete all collections in the game. One sim was briefly part of the science career but left and now the couple has a rocket to explore space.I know all of this heighten abduction chances, however, this sim has but abducted more times than any other sim I've had before and resulting in 4 pregnancies. Whats worse is that he and his wife just got home from the hospital after giving birth to the 4th alien baby only to be abducted almost immediately. He had just enough time to go upstairs and send the baby back to its homeworld only to go back downstairs to be abducted again. I cheat bought a satellite after the abduction the resulted in the 4th pregnancy then used the "prevent abduction" option however that clearly doesn't last that long as I had to have my sims wife reactivate it once they go home from the hospital, unfortunately, the abduction was already in progress.Is this common? What are the abduction rates? And how significantly are they increased by space travel and what not? I getting pretty annoyed with it all. https://i.imgur.com/dTHMwuU.png

I just found that the satellite only last 24 hours. That's not helpful at all really.

Nope.. that definitely isn't common. In 1000 hours of gameplay I've had fewer abductions total than your one sim has had alone :D

I had a game save where the aliens went really nuts in taking over (abductions, and unwanted pregnancies). I ended up saving the family to the library, and starting them in a fresh game save. In my case it was when my sim went to Alien Night at a bar, that triggered it. I avoid that one like the plague now.I have played the science career, and had sim collect rocks, and even with those saves . It wasn't like it was when my sim made the mistake of going to Alien Night at the bar.

I've probably accidentally stumbled onto the perfect recipe for alien mayhem with this current game. Participated in the science career, has a rocket and explores space, had a telescope to get all the space prints, and has most of the space rocks and the collectible aliens. About the only thing the couple hasn't done is met an alien in the world. And I'm sure it's only going to get worse once I upgrade the rocket with the wormhole so I can travel to Sizam to get the collectibles there.Thankfully my sim is now back from being abducted and he seems to have escaped this one un-pregnant.

I've yet to notice a pattern to what triggers abductions. Had sims abducted that never even saw an alien from afar and then again active science career/astronauts sims that never got abducted. One thing I noticed was that once a household got their first abduction it seemed to be marked as fair prey for all the generations to come.

I'll share my solution with you and other simmers. When I spot a sim heading towards a door to "investigate the weird light", I immediately pause the game (one needs to be quick) and go into the build mode (via the current play mode). I then build a room outside of that doorway (with no door, of course). (One can do this with all the doors if one is not sure which one your sim is headed to.) Returning to the play mode, the sim will exit that door and not be able to continue outside as he/she is now in a little room. Voila, no abduction! I return that sim to whatever they were doing before the interruption and remove the provisional room some time later. Happy gaming!

Mine had it happen too, 2 sets of twins and two other pregnancies, but as soon as she quit the scientist career it has stopped so far

Okay I did just manage to get an adbuction today. Not my Sim but a Sim of the apartment I was visiting. (You can't start 10PM rackets if I'm over there!) So maybe they changed the numbers a bit?

I think the Alien population has mostly females so they need to abduct human males to help repopulate their species. That so remains me of the movies Species. LOL :D
