The sims 4 has started a tradition of revisiting existing themes. For example we got two versions of apartments and two versions of ownable stores. I think the content we release this year contained a few references to aliensET reference when you complete the event that ends todayUFO wallpaper in adventure awaitsrandom decor items with a lamp in the lilsimsie kit and a picture of a UFO in the Casanova Cave Kit What do you guys think, will aliens 2.0 be next?

I don't play with the aliens much, but if they give us a drivable UFO and an alien planet sims can live on, I 'd be very happy. That plumbob looks like it has patchwork stitching on it.

Juno SimmonsMVWdeZT Sim pregnancy from abduction is still a thing. One of my legacy sims was a Space Ranger for rl years, and he and I normally keep a full house so when he's abducted there's no chance of a pregnancy. So... about 6mo. ago he did get pregnant (maybe when I was not on the lot? I don't remember) and the household wasn't full. He was so happy with the little blue peanut that we kept her... and I just finished raising her to a young adult about a week and a half ago. This is her as a toddler: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/8A6A547EBEC54C84B666BDA1E284338BSo... in case you didn't know any of this (I didn't know some parts for years):The abducted sim needs to be male and at an age that can get pregnant (young adult/adult sim).There needs to be room in the household. (At lease one open spot within the max of 8 in the household.)Things that fill 8 household slots: servos, regular sims, pets, horses, playable ghosts, baby sims that are still inside the young adult/adult sim/pet/horse.Of course, as you know, even if all of these are in place it's still a random event (and not common) for them to get pregnant.

To some extent, Get to Work could use a Refresh overall, but I'd love it if Aliens got some love. Maybe they can do a Space/future Pack that will offer an Extended Sixam. Not as DLC for DLC, but a different part of Sixam than you get with Get to Work, which is unpopulated unless you have Get to Work... or maybe both packs add Aliens to the game, so you have multiple ways to get them. I realize that won't be popular either (because I think I can say that the majority of Simmers have Get to Work) but they'll need some reason to budget in Alien upgrades.

That would be awesome! I'd love some connecting space worlds! And this may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel they should connect to Baatu as well. Maybe they can patch in so that Aliens (and other Occults) keep their powers and appearances in Baatu. Then we could actually have some semblance of Force powers. In my Sim head canon, Baatu is just one of many planets that Aliens can traverse. I know this is overly ambitious thinking, but maybe one day we can have a Sim galaxy with space and time travel. I mean, the rocket ship came in base game so...

i'm hoping (quite strongly) that the next pack to come out focuses on music. Including the option for sims to form bands and perform together. I especially want them to add a few more instruments (Saxophone and drums, at the very least).All that said, I'd be down for an alien pack if it brought a new whole world for the aliens and expanded on the alien life state with more CAS variety and options.

I remember in the beginning of the year there were rumors that there will be a band pack in November. I am not sure if we are still meant to get a new pack this month or not.

I want a full Sixam world, and not just a hidden area :)
Also, more alien plants and an ability tree.

LiELF DaWaterRat That would be so fun! Hey, the made it so the "Star Seed Teleporter" in the fairy pack that would transport to Sixam! I would have a lot more interest in playing with aliens if they had more integration like that! I agree, it would be fun if Sixam, or maybe a town/world within it, could be built in and transporting could be done between in a way that was easy, fun and made sense, etc. I love your ideas!

I'd like them to bring back pregnancy from an alien abduction. I got my scientist Sim abducted 7 or 8 times without any luck.

I would be happy if a refresh included ears that humans can use, too. That way I can delete a mod.
