I don't care if this only effects male sims, its STILL a NON-CONSENSUAL act of pregnancy that is only possible by being abducted.
Did I just quote a adult mod or something? Nope, its the Sims 4 rated teen!
If somebody told you that they were abducted and forced to become pregnant with a strangers child - you would not be laughing. In the Sims its still a game yes - but its a very annoying and violating experience for my sim to experience no matter HOW THEY IDENTIFY or who/what abducted them. I don't find it funny, I don't find the results funny and in no way was it wanted.
Yeah that literally reads like the description of some parts of adult mods that even folks who use those mods often have to insist have tweaks to let them be disabled...
Sexual assault and forced impregnation are NOT teen topics. Many folks don't care for these kinds of topics in even their XXX adult content...
I get how these things ended up in a game... because it's such a genre trope of 'conspiracy theory fiction' that aliens are all proctologist, but it's one of those genre tropes that has really aged poorly, and doesn't belong in something meant for a light hearted audience.
If this aspect of gameplay was part of a mod on a certain 'l-lab' website I'd shrug and download one of the other mods instead, but as a core gameplay feature it just doesn't belong.
If this feature can be easily turned off without needing to use a mod, then that's enough for me at present though I would add that it should NOT be in Sims 5 at all - let this one be something modders do, not EA.
I'm not saying they need to get rid of aliens, but the proctologist mixed with bad tentacle anime angle might in future be a sub-plot best left to modders.
I'd prefer my un-Modded alien's take on reproduction be a little less 'me too' and a little more benevolent;
