Alien Abduction

I will admit to having a fascination with alien abductions in Sims2. There's something fun about sending your sims out to stargaze knowing that an alien spaceship might, just might, turn up andd whizz your simmie away. If it's an adult male sim and conditions are right, well that's how you get little, green babies. Of course, chances of that happening are remote, some sims spend their whole lives glued to the expensive telescope and never see anything more than a few stars. Others have a very different experience.

JM (husband to my late, legacy founder Eva Pescado), being a knowledge sim, fancies a spot of stargazing on his expensive telescope. Little does he know it, but stargazing in this 'hood carries a much, much higher risk thanks to TwoJeffs' increased odds of abduction mod.


Time passes... and passes... and passes... when all of a sudden, there's pulsing blue light and a strange, pulling sensation. That'll be the alien tractor beam.

Unfortunately hanging onto your telescope will not prevent the abduction, but it doesn't stop sims from trying.


Several hours later, a strange pulsing sound is heard... it's the UFO returning.

JM is uncermoniously dumped on the street and there is the tinkle of the baby lullaby. A quick check on the ACR adjuster tells me that it's twins, boy is he in for a surprise. Alien pregnancies apparently have a higher chance of resulting in twins.



Pictures of the twins will appear in a future post. For now here's a picture of the offspring from JM's first abduction... you would think sims would learn from experience, but no. The second abduction was the result of free-will being on and a sim deciding that he wanted to stargaze.

This was Jupiter at uni, he's now an adult and is living with his wife in another house.
Nope, Jupiter's not a normal out-of-the-box Sims 2 alien. Those guys are butt ugly as we can see from an early piccie from another hood. Interestingly this picture was taken just after I'd installed my replacement pollination technicians so we have original parent (big eyes, no nose, pointy face and thin lips) with a relatively normal looking baby.
The reason for the normal alien baby is the multiple replacement pollination technician hack from MTS2. Rather than having one technician doing all the pollinating, there is a choice of four with quite different looks. (Piccies taken from originals on MTS2.)
I also use a default replacement alien skintone and eyes to get an alien 'look' that I'm happy with for my game. Jupiter and the twin's mom is #14 (top right).
