Get To Work question

First, I want to apologize if I'm in the wrong area for asking this question... I'm new to posting here... Secondly, my question is regarding the Alien side of "get to work"...

I write Sims 4 inspired graphic chapter stories. My next story I'm working on is about a sister and brother alien who end up on Earth after their escape from their home planet before it blows up into itty bitty pieces.. so I need a cover photo for this story. Part of said cover will have a UFO flying in space.. I'm trying to find the same hovering UFO with a bit of flooring light I found a while back. I've done ALL the cheats... Even the *debug* cheat, but I can't seem to find it 😥. I've searched everywhere... Even typed the word "UFO" in more than one way. The only UFO I find is the fruit! I've even looked under flying saucer (found the lamp) and space, ship and spaceship.. can't find it. I did find a UFO prop that has crashed (I believe it came with get famous)... I do plan on using it for a "crash into Earth" memory scene. Anyone have any idea where I can find it.... And if so, what name does the UFO go by, so I can search it?
Again, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum area for my question... And thanx in advance for any help finding the correct UFO 😊😊😊

    I won't be able to go into my game until a little later, but I can look for the UFO object's name available in the game for you if no one else has answered beforehand. In the meanwhile, maybe this information on MTS will help?

    How to Unlock UFO, Science and profession items

    Thank you! I'll check out the link... And if you figure it out, I would be truly grateful!!! I'll comment if I find it as well ?... Thanx again!
  • @RebeccaJeanine71 So you cannot find the saucer that abducts random sims in the buy DEBUG mode. It's not available (like cars). Butttttt you can purchase a satellite. You will need to do bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement. Type in satellite and it won't be the spy satellite but the other one (Satellite Dish I think), the tall one on the stick. Put it on the roof or the ground. In live mode, click it. There will be an option to "Contact Aliens." This should bring the aliens around for an "invasion." Then within 24-48 sim hours between the sim hours of 8pm and 2 am, alien abductions are possible and you could take some nice shots of the ship.

    I have two suggestions. Do this on Sixam. To get to Sixam. Have your sim join the scientist career (temporary). Level them up to 10. bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement. Find the "Electroflux Wormhole Generator" Then find the "Invention Constructor". In live mode, drag the portal into the invention constructor, click on it and have your maxed level sim upgrade it (This is why you need a high level Scientist). When they are done, move the portal out of the invention constructor, test the portal, and then walk through it. BAm you're on Sixam! And you can invite anyone you want to Sixam.

    I also suggest building an alien ship on sixam or using one from the gallery (Alien ship by mamamazare is gorgeous). Also place the satellite dish. Contact the aliens there. And you should get at first an alien "invasion" and then within 24-48 hours between the sim hours of 8 pm and 2 am abductions will be possible even though you are on Sixam. (Weird, yes, but also totally cool. The Forgotten Grotto and Sylvan Glade also allow alien abductions. And the Forgotten Grotto might be really really cool because it's in the middle of a desert.

    Hope this helps and happy simming!

    You're welcome and I found it!

    Here's how I found it:

    1. Open the cheat box in build mode by holding down the following keys:

    shift ctrl c

    2. Type testingcheats true in the box then hit the enter key

    3. Next type bb.showhiddenobjects then hit the enter key again. It'll seem like nothing happens until the next step.

    4. In the build/buy mode object search box, type debug. It should automatically choose Show All for you and jump down in the menu of objects.

    5. Scroll down until you find the UFO object.

    OR

    Instead of scrolling down to hunt for it, just type in the object name after you've entered debug in the search box. The object's name is:

    ufo6x6_EP01GEN01_placeholder Name

    I looked at the object in night time light and it does glow green where it should and I raised it up in the air using the move objects cheat to check if there is a bit of green light glowing underneath as well. That's an affirmative! I hope this is what you need!

    Good luck and Happy Simming! :)

    Omg ty!!! I was actually coming in here too say I figured out what I was doing wrong (per going to the link you suggested) I can't view it on the home lot quite so easy. Thankfully, I already made a couple of generic lots just for the purpose of photographs. I found it too... Thanks to you! But I'll save this info anyway. I'm old and my memory isn't so great lol. ?❤️?

  • Oh wonderful! I'm so glad you found it too and happy I was able to help. I totally understand about diminished memory, I'm 'old' too. Well, at least 'old' compared to a lot of Simmers. Some members liked to call me Mother Goose on my TS2 forum in the past. lol

    Happy Simming! <3
