Dear Maxis. Give folks a toggle to disable alien abductions. Done.
Indeed, alien abduction, male pregnancy...it’s all as weird as it can get.
It’s also totally acceptable in The Sims.
So, again, dear Maxis, I say this with all due respect:
!!! DON’T YOU DARE TO NERF THIS FEATURE !!!
COULD NOT AGREE MORE.
I feel exactly the same way about the actual in-game implications as does the OP. Absolutely nowhere in my storytelling gameplay style is there room for "forced to have the baby conceived as a result of sexual assault." Gross. SERIOUSLY gross.
The problem is that the feature is a throw-in to a pack that's otherwise about improving other gameplay mechanics. If they made aliens a Game Pack on their own, like magic, vampires, and other spooky/occult stuff, I wouldn't buy it, but I wouldn't begrudge its existence.
I feel bad for folks who can't get it to happen when they actually
want it to. It happened to my sim and I used the resetsim cheat to stop it (and somewhere in one of the what-happened-in-your-game threads I made an in-universe justification involving the sim being a pious religious person and "the Watcher" intervening on his behalf.)
Point is, toggles are a GOOD THING. More choice, EA. Choice is good.
