@SheriSim57 I bought Get to Work on Tuesday, I haven't given a Sim the Scientist career. I've had a Doctor, though...but he's not the one who was abducted.
And, wouldn't you know...the abducted Sim is now pregnant!
Thank you for the tip about Alien Night. It turns out the poor fellow probably did stumble into the Gnome's Arms during Alien Night. He was there looking for someone who was awaiting a package. I thought he got out of there before the event began--he was probably safely in the South Square Cafe by 8:00--but Z thinks at least two of the aliens our Sim met were at the Gnome's Arms with him.
@calaprfy The abduction did indeed happen on a Tuesday night. And since the bar events don't begin until 8:00, we didn't see the popup notification about Alien Night--our hapless Sim left the bar before then. Apparently a few of the honored guests showed up early.
I would want a Scientist Sim to investigate some alien life forms. At least, it makes a lot of sense for them to do so. And, if you investigate them, the odds of an abduction ought to be decent. After all, if you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
This time, however, it's my aspiring novelist who is the only pregnant man in Henford-on-Bagley.
@ACruelButLovingGod @RySBI I don't recall seeing any of the disguised aliens glowing. They must not have been Very Happy, or Very Playful, or Very Anything. We generally enjoy interacting with game-generated townies, though, so steering clear of them because they might be aliens won't be much fun.
Thank you for all the comments. We've thought about dragging the folder that has the Get to Work files to the desktop and only using it when we want a Sim to follow a GTW career, or when we think an alien storyline would be fun.
