Hey there! :)Since I've never really played with aliens (and am also impatiently waiting for the new GP to be released), I decided to finally create a bunch of them in CAS. But even though the disguise is an interesting feature, I don't want them to have one.I'm a perfectionist when it comes to making Sims (and also incredibly slow in basically everything, lol), and creating a disguise for all of them therefore would take ages. Also, I simply prefer the alien look.I know they either can wear or sort of remove it later in live mode, but is there a way to completely delete it? So that they only have one form to appear in? Thanks in advance! :)

AFAIK, you can't. Even if it were possible, sometimes alien townies switch to their disguise (like "tourists" at the lab) and then a random disguise is generated.You don't need to work on a disguise, CAS will generate a random one anyway.

You can't, as of yet, delete your alien's disguise. Given that you can with Vampires, they might add the ability in a future update. For me personally, I just leave all my alien sims in their pure form, completely ignoring their disguises. In fact, with my main alien sim, I've never seen what his disguise looks like :smiley:

One of the alien sims that I played kept his disguise on the entire time I played him, all through dating his girlfriend, and even until after their wedding night. The disguise was blown on the honeymoon. She was a teensy-weensy bit upset, but HEY! ... achievement unlocked!

You can make a human sim look like an alien, and then give the sim the alien trait with cheats

Completely delete alien disguise?

You can choose to never activate the disguise, which will have the same effect. Alien Sims don't use the disguise autonomously, as far as I know. If you choose this route, I highly recommend the shameless reward trait. Undisguised aliens constantly get embarrassed moodlets from being discovered.

Human form is the real body, you can't delete it but you can delete the Alien form.

Didn't know that! May I ask how?

I disagree. I believe the alien form is the base form as it comes up when you click create an alien. The disguise is the one you must click to activate. If you don't want aliens in disguise, don't click to have them change into it. I don't recall them changing into their disguises on their own.

I've been thinking about recreating the Smith family from S2 Strangetown. I always liked playing that family. The alien who comes to Earth and falls in love and starts a family doing all the "honeydo" chores all husbands do.

I remember that I had some townies who were alien but only had a human form. Maybe they were part-aliens? Ahh, you're giving me nostalgic feels. Loved every family in Strangetown, it was also my most favorite neighborhood of all time. :blush: Good idea!

Or, they're the special case in which they're just aliens not from Sixam? ;)

I actually have an alien exactly as you describe uploaded to the Gallery under my profile, along with her vampire husband. Both were townies the game generated. Lucky me!
