To avoid alien abduction:

yeah male pregnacy i mean wth i dont find the humor in this when im playing realisticly
i should be an option to turn aliens off completely i hope there will be a mod for that its a must have mod

I guess it's some kind of "revenge" for the female players, to see pregnancy on males, that's why they find it amusing I suppose.

I'm male, but man or woman, getting kidnapped then pregnant is not fine for me. And I love to goof around and make fun of a lot of things but this is seriously not funny. Even for a game.

I don't like those types of aliens in general and the thought of being kidnapped and made pregnant is well... I don't think I need to say the word.

It does not sit well with me for my game. I can understand others may not see it that way and I'm fine with that.

I don't really understand why they decided not to let us turn off forced abductions and also aliens. I haven't seen any yet and I hope I never do.

They did but not with a ON/OFF option, and it also forces you (again?) to play the scientist career, for the first time in my playthrough I actually had to use cheats because I just don't want to risk my sims to get owned by aliens.

You can "prevent abductions" not sure it works 100% though, and you have to activate it every 24h because it resets.

If it does work it means there's a script to cancel abductions, so adding this option the game options wouldn't be hard to do and should have been the way to go, not an item.

Also, now when my sims turn on the TV it always goes with the alien channel for me. Seems they really want us to like them.

This thread is making me LOL. I haven't had any abductions yet. Hope I don't get any. I don't want aliens in my game.

Well, you can join the science career and get up to level 7 and build your own satelite. :)

I build my satellite on Level 3. Weird.

I don't mind the abductions and all that comes with it, but my scientist Sim has been abducted three times (and I've been spamming "prevent abductions" every time I remember and it lets me do so, which is why it's ONLY been three times) and impregnated every single time. I like alien kids, but man, that is WAY too much, especially since one of the pregnancies resulted in twins. I know we can send them back, but ... I'd rather avoid the pregnancies in the first place.

Ideally "prevent abductions" would premanently do that until you decide to "contact aliens" again, with the 24 hour cooldown being reserved for changing your mind.

Just noticed this... lol

The most annoying thing about this screenshot is that we can't really take photo of so many sims at once !

@Sidney216 I think I've read for some people the satellites weren't helping stop the abductions and there was some problems there but, I'm not sure if that's a bug or not. I will definitely give it a try though, thanks for the heads up.

obviously EA is into alien rape.

I can't disagree. I myself do not enjoy the thought of getting date-plum'd and knocked up night after night.

An OPTION to Turn Off aliens (supernaturals, etc.) would be a welcome tool.

This sounds terrible. I hope they patch this soon. I haven't had any interactions with the aliens yet, but the two sims in my family are currently ghosts. I was going to resurrect one of them with ambrosia, but I guess I'll wait until this is fixed. I guess simmers who don't want alien pregnancies could play with ghost sims until there's a patch...
