I just experienced my first in this game - Ethan was going outside to "Investigate". No - no! What I did was type in testingcheats on - and then shift click your sim, and press the top one "reset"....
Also I think they should have an option to turn off aliens or something. I don't have this ep yet but I'm not too fond of the pregnancy by alien as it seems you always get prego when you get abducted... I'll wait till a few patches come out and the ep is cheaper to get it. I like aliens just not the pregnancy part. I don't want to get pregnant unless I choose to try to get pregnant.
