My alien baby looks like a normal baby

I'm not sure if it's a glitch or what, a sims got abducted, and then i didnt play that family again, next time I loaded in, there were twins in the yard. The looked normal but I assumed they were from the abduction. I disregard babies skin color and theres a gltich that complexion of babies not always represent the actual dna of baby. I aged them up today and there is no indication they are aliens in cas. This is my first alien, so I'm not sure if this is normal but they look like normal babies, and there is not alien trait.

I never wanted an alien baby until I got one- twins to be exact- and not heartbroken they are not aliens. Is it a bug or some part of the gameplay I am unaware of?

  • Could be mod related…. My guess is they are hybrids at best which suggests they are not the result of unmodded abduction (which always results in alien offspring). Could neighbourhood stories, a mod or some other method have resulted in the pregnancy?

    I turned off neighborhood stories and I had a lot of mods installed which lagged my game - I took them out now.

    Maybe(!) it's I used the cheat code for the actual abduction because I had the special computer and was accidentally abducted in another family, but I was so afraid of an alien baby, at that time, I exited it without saving.

    I heard it's not that bad, so I wanted to see what happens if I get abducted. Maybe should try again, the normal way with the computer @NRowe ?

    Is a pregnancy always the case with an abduction or only sometimes? @NRowe

    You should check the family tree of these babies, maybe Senior Pollination Technician #3 isn't their mother.

    After an abduction, the pregnant male sim have a temporary trait to force the birth of an alien baby.
    There is a special effect on the belly during the pregnancy.

    If you didn't play with this household until the birth, maybe the game ignored this temporary trait and took it as a normal pregnancy.

    family tree shows only one parent, male father- and he is not set to get pregnant in his settings @LeGardePourpre

    You found the reason, the father never met aliens during his abduction.

    Note :

    If this NPC doesn't exist yet, the game will create Senior Pollination Technician #3 at the end of the abduction when the sim come back home.



    @LeGardePourpre what do you mean the father never met aliens during his abduction?
    I saw the abduction but it didnt come back until I clicked the bubble that we was abducted - then they brought him back- how would he have met aliens?

    what does the note part mean?

    I mean you quit before Senior Pollination Technician #3 was created.

    It broke the game by creating a male pregnancy without alien pollinator.


    I have to play the household the entire time from abduction to child birth? @LeGardePourpre

    You need to play until the end of the abduction, when the sim is back at home.

    Alien abduction isn't designed to be interrupted.


    @LeGardePourpre how long is it supposed to take- I thought my game had a big in it because it was like day time next day @LeGardePourpre
