Increase the chances of being abducted

Before we start the tutorial, it is important to know that abductions can happen naturally, between 22 and 04 in the morning. In the game's storyline, Sims in the career of Scientist ou Doctor are more likely to be abducted.

Despite being a natural event, it is possible to follow methods together to increase this probability through three situations:

1. Visit the alien night

On Tuesday nights, the Alien Night takes place in city bars. Go to any bar and meet new Sims. See if you can identify any extraterrestrials and try to win their friendship. When showing interest in alien culture, you have a 25% chance of being abducted on the same night.

2. Have a “Satellite Dish” or an “Out of This World Desktop”

The Satellite Dish and the Out of This World Desktop are exclusive items to the Scientist career. Both have the interactionContacting Aliens”, which can force an abduction or even bring aliens to your lot. The interaction can only be used once every 24 hours.

abduction pregnancy

Only male sims can return from abduction pregnant. In normal game settings, there is a 25% chance for this with each abduction. In order to work around the odds, save the game just before the abduction and go back to the same save (returning to the main menu) until you get the pregnancy. A notification in the Sim's emotions will let them know if the pregnancy was successful.

Pregnancy lasts 72 hours and you can also choose to send your baby back into space as soon as it is born.

pregnancy by relationship
