Does anyone know how to curtail the generating of Aliens? I've found at least 20 already wandering the worlds and I'm sure there are more I haven't identified. I don't mind a few but this is getting ridiculous. I've tried MCCC but it only controls Alien births, not spontaneous generation of Aliens by the system. I would be fine with the usual half dozen or so living on Sixam and maybe 10 more wandering NPCs, but it seems like I'm seeing more Aliens than humanoid Sims when I'm out and about. The main reason I know so many are around is because they aren't even disguised. I've written their names down so I can delete most of them from the Households panel, but before I do that, I'm hoping I can find a way to limit their numbers so they aren't simply replaced by more Aliens.

Do you have Get Together? If you do, you can create a club, but you'll need an alien to make this happen. There is an option that club members must have an alien trait. When you are picking members all aliens that are currently in your game will show up on the list, including those in disguise. It might take a couple of times for them to show up, but this one way to find them. As far as the number I don't know. If you don't want to keep the alien you use for this in your game, you can either delete it or send it to your library.

If you install the script mod, MC Command Center by Deaderpool, you can turn off Alien Nights at the bars, as well as all other themes. Doing so will limit the generating of aliens.

Side note: My main issue with so many Aliens is the problem of Hybrids (Alien/Human mix). Frankly, they're a mess. They look silly and they don't have any worthwhile powers. I prefer, generally, to match Aliens with other Aliens so their offspring retain full Alien status and powers. There are exceptions, though. I did post a household to the Gallery several months ago that was a female Alien and two human males. That's not really my standard MO, however.

I usually wait for Alien night at a local bar, but @LaBlue0314's idea sounds much more efficient XD

I can't remember the last time I saw one in my game. If you stay away from bars on alien night (which is on Tuesdays I believe?) and never visit Sixam then you really shouldn't be seeing that many of them.

I had aliens seemingly spontaneously reveal themselves throughout the worlds once. They remained un-disguised in HH-management, too, so I just deleted 'em all. I assume the new NPCs the game generated included more aliens, but they kept their human forms on, & haven't revealed themselves yet.

As Cupid suggested, I suspect I must've taken my sims to a bar during Alien night, though I don't remember doing so. I wonder if visiting a CL festival via one of the Karaoke bars is what did it? Seems possible.

Hope you too are able to avoid an unwanted re-invasion!

Do you have a Sim in the science career? I find that when I have a Sim in that career the game spawns a few aliens. A few that are even a fellow science coworkers.

I've never gone to an Alien Night at a bar. They're just everywhere. They especially seem to show up at festivals in San Myshuno a lot, but are also wandering the streets as well. There's just too many and I want to find a way to stop them spawning in the world and the "Not in World" household pool. They're taking up about 20% of my Unplayed Households and I really want to get rid of them.

Thats odd. The only aliens I have show up in my game, are the ones I created. One of my sims daughters is married to one

Aliens in disguise prolly explains the 'interesting' wardrobe choices.

Ummm.... what does wardrobe have to do with making the system spawn fewer Aliens? Does anyone know how to do this? Anyone know of a mod that can do this? I just want to delete some of the Aliens from my Unplayed Households and stop the system from replacing them with more Aliens. In fact, most of the Aliens are running around undisguised. That's how I've been able to identify over 20 in the first place.
