Aliens in the sims games...

I would definitely say the sims 4 with this one, aliens in the sims 2 were just normal sims with different coloured skin tones and weird eyes, the alien abduction were too regular aswell, the sims 3 aliens were more like an NPC character the only way you could play as an alien if you were abducted by aliens and had a baby, they do have unique abilities, the sims 4 aliens you can create them in CAS even give them a human disguise, they also have unique abilities, they can have children with each other or other sims, alien abductions are rare that you get a surprise when it happens and also male pregnancy can happen like the others

Hey there! Quick heads-up: I moved this thread to the Sims Franchise section.

I like 3s the most solely for the fact unlike 2 I don't have to fear using the Telescope and Electrodance Sphere when playing a male Sim.
I absolutely did NOT like having my men abducted and forced to live with an alien their whole life because I didn't put a telescope indoors or arbitrarily used the cheaper one. (I've had some of my ladies abducted twice in 2 nights so it happens way too much to me. The curse of building science enthusiam)

In 2 they're one of those, I suppose they're cute but when my neighbourhood is pretty vanilla and quite the opposite of Strangetown it just makes the Alien then ruin the setting. I've completely modded out alien pregnancies because of it.

Having Aliens rarely come to your front door to befriend was a much much more needed take personally. Especially if because I wanted an alien to live in the house when playing a single lady I can just ask them to move in without... Getting a man abducted. If not, I could just ignore the Alien outside and continue on.

Plus with the added option to actually send away Alien babies if by chance one of my Men get abducted I can keep my vanilla, non supernatural neighbourhoods free of any occults!

And I like their abilities in 3. It's fun to rain down meteors for profit.

I've seen them in 4 and while they look fun to use, I don't think they look as good personally although the option to create them in CAS would've been something I would have loved in 3.

oh and also i just really like the small telescopes in earlier games and that aliens would only abduct ur sim if they were using those cause like okay i love abductions personally but they nerfed them cause they happened randomly too often for some people so now i have like no abductions :cry:

I agree. I miss those telescopes, and I've had maybe one abduction in my game ever. In Sims 2 all you had to do was choose the nicer telescope and use it during certain times in the evening... or not, if you didn't want abductions.

Aren't they optional? I love playing with aliens, and I never see the point in using disguises...why be an alien if you can't flaunt it? Why marry one if you don't adore their authentic self? In fact, somehow, I didn't even know aliens even had the option of disguises until I had been playing with them a good while. Then I was disappointed by how the disguise looked, shrugged, and never put it on again.

You can choose not to use it, but it's still there in CAS. You can't delete it like you can dark form. And that's only for your Sims that you are actively playing. I've discovered a few townies walking around that I didn't know were aliens until I got to know them really well. I would rather have the option of ALL aliens walking around looking like aliens.

the Telescope is what brings aliens in 3 that and space rocks and pumpkins for some reason

The Sims 3 has the most gameplay powers for aliens, so that one is my favorite. I like playing with them in all 3 games, though!

The Sims 3 aliens are the best in the franchise with more powers. People should try. While 4 did better with vampires, aliens are really boring.

I love how they can repair broken objects with their minds xD

I only had aliens in Sims 2, so I'm not going to vote yet. I do like that they have unique powers and voices in Sims 3 and 4 and that they have a disguise form and can be made in CAS in 4. From what I've heard about them I think 4 sounds the best. I've seen a number of mixed responses over which ones out of 3 and 4 have more powers. Can someone please tell me what all their powers in Sims 3 are and what all their powers in Sims 4 are?

Goodie. I love all the aliens in each of the games. Sims2-I loved it when they got abducted and gave birth. The male sims screamed louder than the female sims in Sims2. Sims3-Enjoy them eating space rocks. :) Sims4-Haven't gotten one yet as I play that alot less.
