I'm not against toggle, toggles are good. I'm saying that a form of toggle already is in the game and has existed since the pack was released and it's also available to console players.
Honestly I was unaware of the satellite dishes feature to prevent alien abductions until you mentioned it despite owning the expansion since release. honestly I was unaware there was a satellite dish since its not a common build object and requires cheats or career track to unlock.
Its feature to prevent abductions isn't mentioned in its description either so how would a new or unaware player even be aware? Its why I believe a toggle would be easier in options.
In my case I'd actually totally forgotten about the alien abductions too, so i was not prepared for it or the consequences so I would not have even thought to build a dish before I started on the astronaut career track for my sim. While I appreciate that there is a way to prevent them is definitely not made clear to the player in-game how to prevent them.
With that said I've also read that 50% of players never even go into options deeper than the screen settings to change resolutions, ect so even if their was a toggle that doesn't mean people would be anymore aware of it either. But at least its there.
The fact that you were not aware of it could be put as company fault as they did not advertise their product's feature well, but also as a fault of the user as they did not researched what they were buying, however in the case that the company explicitly states that such a feature exists ( abduction, even without mentioning that it can be avoided) it also makes the consumer that might have an issue with the said feature aware of it and they are free to not buy it. Again the player/consumer has the control.
Additionally wanting another form of toggle while being fully aware that people might not use it because they might not be aware it exist, but still "at least its there" is no different than the situation of the already existing toggle and you not being aware of it. I'm sure you know this. So....?
