Please Fix the Alien "Discovery" Issue

I’m at a point where some of these missed realizations are hilarious as they are unfathomably frustrating. I’m a big aliens simmer, 80% of my sims have met, married or been involved with aliens somehow and plenty have had alien children. What bothers me is when sims who’ve known them the entire time suddenly appear to realize their friend/sibling/grandchild is an alien when I never have them wear the disguise. A few times I’ve had my sim have family over the entire time his alien children have been there and they can be in their teens before nan suddenly jumps and the notification pops up saying she’s uncovered their secret like you’ve practically raised these bright blue kids, how can you only just notice they are blue, have a weird voice and have a secret handshake they only do with their other blue sibling?!

Get up to speed, grandma!

There was a time when I believe it was the aunt and my sims kid reached adulthood before she realized they were an alien, after that it was all downhill because she seemed to have a problem with them after that. The cousins didn’t care but the aunt was like welp bye Jeffery!

Like I said they are funny, but at some point common sense needs to kick in, especially when you make no effort to hide like surely they can patch in some sort of edit that stops these late realizations, or holds them off except for when a sim really is trying to hide their alien secret.
Like if you wear a disguise then the notification pops up, but if you don’t then there’s no shocking discovery.

No Gran, the neighbours always been green what are you talking about? Go back to the cookies before the cat gets them you know his stomach isn’t all that great

Oh gosh, your story about the aunt reminds me of a similar story pertaining to this issue. The original thread with it is gone now, but this is the story:

"I've been against aliens because I didn't like the way they were handled in Sims 3. I finally decided to give them a go in Sims 4. I made a female alien. I gave her a brother and gave him a human husband, I played that family long enough that they had a teen daughter and twin female children. Then I switched to the sister and played her.

She used the wormhole generator to contact an alien and the perfect male stepped through (for her). I sent her over with her new husband (she was pregnant at the time because things went fast, lol) to meet her family. The human male was downright rude. he insulted her new husband, he was so angry that he destroyed his daughter's doll house.

Then after the baby was born, I had them come over to meet the baby.

The human male was again flipping out. He insulted my Sim and her husband, he broke their doll house, and he threw a fit because he was so angry about being surrounded by aliens.

This is his family!

He is married to an alien and has three half-alien children.

I got so disgusted with all of this that I've pretty much abanadoned that save and that makes me sad/mad. I really loved this alien family and I am rather upset that they (the developers) would do this. I don't understand why a Sim is still flipping out and angry over his family being aliens.

GAH......and I'm done with aliens because of this."

Yup, it's bad alright.
