To avoid alien abduction:
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"....

From what I am seeing, there's a serious imbalance with alien abductions in TS4. Back in the olden days of TS2, you could not get abducted by aliens unless you looked through a telescope at night; then, you were actually given just a CHANCE to be abducted. In TS3, you didn't even have to have a telescope. Nope, just sometimes aliens will wake your Sims up and abduct them and there is nothing you could do about it. I did like how the aliens in TS3 had that cool synth effect over their voices, though. Unfortunately, it seems like the Sims team decided to take a leaf from the TS3 aliens and just make it so, whether you like it or not, they're GOING to abduct your Sims, they ARE going to get pregnant, and there is NOTHING you can do about it (barring that satellite, but that means i HAVE to make a sim become a scientist and I DON'T WANT TO.)
In Sims 3 it's space rocks on your lot or in your inventory that triggers it. I never had a random visit ever, just when I collected some space rocks. And that 's the way it should be imo, players having to trigger this instead of it happening all the time.
