Yup, I am sure Disney research the Sims universe thoroughly and decided to do everything in their power to prevent their characters and world from appearing in blogs and videos created with adult mods.

I saw someone already used Kylo and Rey to make an itsy bitsy tiny baby. :love:

I don't think it's the reason because all this content is available through CAS without any mods. That's what makes me feel confused: we can legally create a sim in an alien mask, but we can't use this mask while being on Batuu.

Are you guys sure it's not actually a bug? Did Gurus talk about it?

This has to be a glitch or something? The tweet says the First Order will be species-ist against you if you are wearing one. They can't do that if you can't wear one.

By traditional WooHoo, or other means? Also, is it a Kylo that shipped with the game, or one you downloaded from the gallery?

@Akil I think Romeo meant this will only happen if you get romantically involved with an already existing alien and put them in your family. That means the alien will already be wearing the mask when joining the family.

You know this could actually be the case since they recreated a Disney theme park and in real life if you've ever been to a Disney park you know there is a rule that doesn't allow you to dress up like Disney characters. They literally won't let you in if you dress up as them.
I know it's frustrating but I think it is intentional because of that reason.

I think thus far people have been using MCCC to "start pregnancy" and designate Kylo Ren as the father. The Kylo Ren sim in the game has the capacity to impregnate, he's just not able to do or receive romance interactions. You can cheat to add them to your household, and they'll be able to do romance options, but that might also break the game, since you've just removed a quest-giver from their role.

Yup, in the case of the RL parks it’s a safety measure to prevent those with ill intentions approaching children. But in the case of the game it would be intended to not have their actual characters appearing in blogs and videos as I said in compromising positions, in the context of their world of Batuu. Disney keeps a very tight grip on their image and marketing and that of their characters and other copyrighted assets. If a sim in a costume in Willow Creek is engaging in “unsavory” behavior due to a mod that’s one thing, but no way are they not going to try and prevent their actual character in an actual Star Wars world from being in that circumstance.

Don't forget to tell your story, But you have to do it our way, So no alien powers or aliens!

I just posted in the Mods thread about how we obviously need a mod to unlock all CAS items for our Sims on Batuu. I’m so upset that they did this...
