Alien discovery?

So, today, my alien teen invited a friend over after school. As per usual, the friend discovered she was an alien, because I don't disguise her—but the message was different:
"Sophia has discovered Saera Talio is an alien! Not even trying to hide it."
When was that added? Because in the past, even if they've never been disguised in their life, the sims acted like I'd pulled some huge trick on them. Is this a new feature, or something from a mod? Because I really like it.
Good that sims finally stop getting flamed for "hiding" their identity, when they've done nothing of the sort.

I even sometimes like that as a story line choice but yeah if I'm trying to just play an alien that's open about it and part of that society it's kind of a bummer to go through it again and again.


    Which is a huge pain. But seriously—it happened again. For me, it's no longer "they saw through the disguise", it's "they werent even trying to hide it!" which comes with no negative moodlets, and I don't think it comes with a relationship hit either.
    There was an update today...but I also haven't done much since reinstalling MCCC. Don't think it's MCCC, though, that's mostly to do with settings. I'd say it's an actual update.

    Hello
    You may like to post feedback on this AHQ EA site if this continues to occur in your game.

    I tested this out.
    I had an undisguised alien introduce himself to a new sim then talk to the sim he knows.
    I got the same notification both of the times, but when alien introduced himself to a new sim, he didn't feel embarrassed. He did when he spoke to a sim he knew (Nice detail). Both of the sims recieved either angry or confident moodlet (Needs a little improvement).
    So it seems like that has changed, but went unmentioned in the patch notes. Interesting why they didn't mention that...
    Do remember that I play the game without mods and CC.

    Thanks @rosemow ... as usual :).
    I'll play again today since I haven't played my alien since the patch and see if I notice a difference. Hopefully I won't have to push "me too" on that one.


    You’re welcome :) I hope that the patch has helped with this occurring in your game.
  • I've never seen that either! Though due to lack of abductions, I rarely get to play aliens so I wouldn't have the foggiest of when it was introduced. But agree with you. Enough of the shock even when the alien is flaunting their otherworldliness.

    Really? Hmm... Must be an unmentioned fix in the recent patch.
    I'm going to see if the same happens in my game. Be right back!
