I have to use mods to get this to happen in the first place.
Its very much a feature included in the game.
"Alien abduction returns in The Sims 4: Get to Work. An abduction can occur anytime at night (10 pm- 4 am). When an abduction does occur, the Sim will stop whatever they're doing and go to "Investigate Weird Light". The Sim will then be beamed up by a blue light into a UFO and be flown off. The Sim will be returned a couple of hours later with a moodlet pertaining to aliens and abduction.
The interaction "Investigate Weird Light", which replaces all items in a Sim's queue at the beginning of the event, cannot be canceled. However, it can be stopped by blocking the Sim's way to the weird light, such as locking the doors for the Sim.
Both female and male Sims, including aliens, can be abducted. Only males will return with a 25% chance of alien pregnancy, while females will only receive the moodlet.
Sims in the scientist profession are more likely to be abducted. The satellite dish, the worm hole generator, and space rocks also increase the odds. The satellite dish can also be used to contact aliens, which may trigger an abduction. "
It in no form requires mods, only that you own Get To Work expansion and has been a feature of the Sims series since Sims 2 when pregnant abductions were introduced by Maxis.
I found this thread when searching for "what is the point of alien abductions in sims 4". I agree about the forced pregnancies. There is still no option to not allow that without using a mod as far as I can find. I have only had it happen with one family I played and it messed with my game. Funny thing is, my current family, consisting of a wife and her two husbands, and one of them gets abducted on a weekly basis I'm sure. The husbands used to be married to other people and they were abducted all the time back then. The wife was someone that one of the husbands took under his wing because she was an orphan and had no family and had to steal for a living. She lived in an empty apartment so I think the apartment was the reason she never was abducted until they got an actual home. Then it became consistent with all three of them and thankfully, so far, there have been no pregnancies. Which is rather wild considering how often they are abducted. I mean I will hear the music and think, "ugh, they probably just took Jake again." He is the one it happens to most often. I find it crazy that someone wants their sim to be abducted and can't make it happen. There is no telescope and never has been on my sim's lots. I prefer to use a chess table for them to gain logic since they can socialize while playing. No satellite dishes. I had no idea that was available. I wish I could give my alien luck to someone who wants it. Having three sims constantly taken, and for no point or benefit that I can see, other than spamming their milestones with the repeated abductions, is just plain ugh.
Happy Simming :)
