Is there any way to turn off alien abductions?

I usually just click to cancel the "investigate strange light" whenever I don't want a sim to be swooshed away. Especially when I don't want a specific vampire to have yet another glitchy hybrid child.

You could lock the doors (or put furniture in front of them) between 9 pm and 4 am. That way, your Sim won't be able to walk outside to investigate the light. I don't think it's possible to cancel the action unless you have MCCC.

If you're not opposed to cheating, with testingcheats enabled (press Ctrl Shift C) to open cheat window), shift-click the Sim and chose Reset from the menu. This will usually work even if you can't cancel out the Investigate Strange Light interaction. You have to catch them before they start rising, I think, tho.

MC Control Center Mod (MCCC) has an Occult Settings Module, in which you can change the frequency or turn off Abductions. It is a large mod with a lot of functions, including story mode features. You have to turn everything on, tho, so even if you just use it for just this particular thing, it won't do anything else. All MCCC Settings are at Default (Game) options until you change them, and quite often Restart. It is found on Deaderpool's MCCC site, and needs updates with Game Patches, usually, as most script mods do. Script Mods must be enabled in TS4 Game Settings, as well.

I made a small mod to disable alien abductions for private use a while ago as I don't use CC. As it disables the interaction completely, it does not need to be updated. I've just uploaded it for you: http://bienchen83.bplaced.net/s4/mods/sims4me_noalienabduction.rar

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I was looking for! Hopefully my Scientist (who also likes to go in the rocket ship) will no longer get abducted!

While I have the MCCC mod saved "for possible use" (from the first time I played TS4), I don't like it as well as the one I used to have that's similar for TS3. And it has to be updated each time there is a new patch, which is problematic.

Unless modded, the abduction can't be canceled, targeted sims will stop whatever they're doing to investigate the weird light. But you can stop it by disallow your targeted sim to go outside! Just lock all the doors which lead to outside! Click the door then choose the lock for everyone, your sim will be safe from abduction. And remember to unlock them or sims can't enter or leave the house.
There is an hidden bar which determines the chance of abduction. I found out the "search for the truth" will strongly enhance the chance. I've read some feedback on the abduction, players had replied that having higher logic skill, using rocket, owning space rock or alien item form space, travel to the alien home...anything related to alien will fill the abduction bar. And it seems that interacting with aliens, including disguised ones, will encourage sims to be abducted as well. That's why doctors and scientists tend to be abducted more often, because they more or less will meet some aliens at work. So if you don't want to be abducted, just don't do such things to trigger it.

Yes. Yes, you can. I've done it. You pause the game when the sim is heading to investigate the lights and then use the cheat code to reset sim(and their name)

I wish I could encounter abductions a lot more. It has ever only happened once during my entire time of playing...

It actually quite hard to get abducted in the sims 4 I wish it happened more often, your sims have to show interest in aliens and theres a hidden abduction meter that can take ages too fill, if your sim doesn't show interest they wont get abducted

That is because- there were complaints like the one that started this and so the programers made it harder to get abducted.

Tell me about it. I have to have my male sim be a Scientist with a Satilight Dish & Alien Portal to contact Aliens just so he can finally be abducted to have his Alien babies.
