How to get abducted by aliens Sims 4 base game

There are tons of wacky supernatural things in The Sims 4, including vampires and aliens. You don't even need to use cheat codes in Sims 4 to bring them out of hiding, either. You can create your own Vampire Sims or turn existing Sims into Vampires, and you can also bait Sims to be abducted by aliens. If you're wondering how to get your Sims probed and poked by aliens in The Sims 4 Get to Work expansion pack, look no further! 

How to get abducted by aliens in The Sims 4

Abductions are actually a random occurrence, so you can't force one to occur, unfortunately. But you can raise the likelihood of one occurring by way of utilizing the Scientist Career type. If you have Sims who follow the Scientist Career path, they have a higher chance of being abducted by aliens, according to Carl's Sims 4 Guide. 

If you don't have a Scientist Sim or don't want to make one, however, you can use a special cheat code to do so. 

First, use the command control + shift + C to open up the special cheat bar that allows you to issue cheat commands and use cheat codes. If you're on a PC, press and hold the keys together. If you're on a Mac, use command + shift + C. You will see a white bar pop up at the top of the screen, according to IGN.

Then type "bb.showhiddenobjects" without quotation marks in the bar and press Enter. You need to then press the F2 key to enter Buy Mode. A search box will appear. Type "satellite" without quotation marks into the search box. You will find a satellite that pops up in the "Misc. Electronics" list of items. Place it somewhere in the world where you would like it to appear. 

Going forward you can click the satellite to keep abductions from happening for 24 hours, or make it more likely that an abduction will happen by clicking the satellite and choosing "Contact Aliens." 

Enjoy all of your impending abductions and all the fun that comes with them!

How to Get Abducted to Have an Alien Baby (Male Pregnancy)

How to get abducted by aliens Sims 4 base game
Getting abducted by Aliens in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack. The UFO appears and beams your Sim up and performs experiments on them for a few hours. Sometimes, males can get pregnant during this interstellar adventure.

Players often search for how to get abducted in The Sims 4 Get to Work, and for good reason. It's kind of hidden in the Expansion, with many options obscuring the real routes to make it happen. Aliens basically don't appear very often unless you seek them out. I'll list a few ways to do it. We have two honest ways and one via cheating that will all increase the odds Aliens show up and take your Sim to their UFO. I'm not responsible for any probe insertions they experience while on this trip, nor where they all the things are inserted, and I'm certainly not at fault if your male Sim comes back pregnant with an alien kid you don't want. The method below can also be used to make an alien-Sim hybrid if you romance a male Alien with your female Sim, as we will increase the odds aliens visit as well.

First, How Abduction Works in The Sims 4

Every night, there is a slim chance for Sims to be abducted, but you can boost this greatly by taking part in certain activities. There is a hidden meter that increases and adds a buff that will last about 24h, giving you a chance to get taken that night. You'll need to keep this meter full to maximize the chance Aliens take your Sim to the UFO. When they do arrive, the Sim will head off to investigate a strange light. They are taken for a few hours then returned, Dazed. There is a small chance of Male Sims getting pregnant (like 25%).

Teaches you how alien abductions work, male pregnancy, and the different types of alien babies.

Method 1: Join the Scientist Career

How to get abducted by aliens Sims 4 base game
The Satellite and Out of this World Desktop computer can both be used for the same thing - Contact Aliens. This gives you a hidden moodlet for 24h, maximizing the chance for an abduction the next night.

Sims in the Get to Work Scientist Career, particularly high ranking ones, get objects that can help with abduction. The Scientist career gives access via the Out of this World Desktop computer that is unlocked at the last level (found in Electronics > Computers), and the Satellite Dish at Level 4 (found in Electronics > Misc). Both of these do the same thing, and it's on a 24 hour cooldown. Selecting Contact Aliens will lock the ability for the next 24h but give you the maximum level of that "Abduction Meter" we discussed in how abductions work.

Method 2: Cheating for the Scientist Objects

Hit Control+Shift+C or press all four bumper/trigger buttons on PS4/Xbox and type Testingcheats on. Now you can use bb.IgnoreGameplayUnlocksEntitlement to allow your Sim to purchase the alien computer. bb.ShowHiddenObjects will let you buy the satellite dish. Both of these should be used in Live Mode as if you are in Build/Buy you need to go back in to see the objects. If you need help with cheating, here's a newbie guide and a full list of Cheats.

Method 3: Learn Some Logic!

Search for The Truth is actually an ability that helps you get Abducted without using Scientist, which is a relief. You can use this a few hours and keep the hidden Abduction Meter full.

There is an interaction on the Telescope (Observatory) unlocked at Level 7 Logic, Search for The Truth. What this does is, raises that meter gradually for every minute you use it. Doing this for a few hours each day will give you the same result as using the computer/satellite. This interaction appears around 8-8:30 PM until dawn but won't be available if you use the contact aliens ability, as your meter is already maxed out. If you want to try for abduction that day, get on it early in the evening.

Save Scumming to Maximize Abduction Chance

In order to get footage for this, I did some save scumming so I'll share my method. Save the game around 9PM with the meter maxed out. If you make it until 3-4AM with no abduction, exit to main menu without saving and reload. For the next phase, save while your Sim is in the alien craft, immediately after the abduction. When you reload the game, the abduction should happen again. If you save scum now, you can keep going until you get a save where, within the 24h after the abduction, your Sim gets a tummy ache. This means the Sim is pregnant. I believe that only male Sims get pregnant.

Having an Alien Baby

How to get abducted by aliens Sims 4 base game
An Alien baby (full blood). Half-breeds are also possible, and result from a Male Alien impregnating a Female Sim via Try for Baby.

As mentioned before, only males can get pregnant by the aliens. If they get a tummy ache, you're 72h and 3 moodlets away from the birth of your new alien baby. Don't worry as, if you don't want it you can send the baby back to the homeworld. There isn't much reason to do all this unless you want one though, so there's that. It does come in handy if you get twins, as I did, so yes multiple births are possible - I did not cheat while doing this.

Your Alien baby will grow up to have access to all the Alien Powers listed on that guide page. You can age them up to speed up the process.

Making Alien Friends or Female Pregnancies

How to get abducted by aliens Sims 4 base game
Using the Observatory to contact Aliens can result in a visit to your home, which brings Aliens into your life. This means you can romance them with a female Sim in order to get pregnant with an Alien-Sim Hybrid.

Doing all the stuff with the satellite and telescope will also trigger an event where a group of aliens visits your home. By doing so you can make alien friends, in order to romance them or just have them around in your save game. Aliens won't come very often if at all, unless you give this indication you want them around by seeking them. Female Sims can get pregnant by Aliens by romancing them and using Try for Baby. This results in an Alien hybrid, which doesn't have powers. Only alien to alien try for baby or male pregnancies result in a full blood Alien child.

I hope this was helpful to you. Please remember, even with a maxed out abduction meter, the odds are not in your favor. I say this because someone will inevitably say that this doesn't work. You have about a 25% chance of being abducted each night, and a 25% chance of it being an abduction that results in a male Sim getting pregnant. This means that you can reload several times, or it can take weeks in Sim time without you getting the end result you desire.

How do you get rid of aliens in Sims 4?

Disguises are not necessary, but some Sims react negatively to undisguised aliens. Aliens may change from their disguise to alien form (and vice versa) any time. Simply click on the alien and choose “Disguise Self” or “Remove Disguise.”

Can a Sim turn into an alien?

The Sims 4 players with the Get To Work expansion have the option to turn their Sims into aliens.

Does StrangerVille have aliens Sims 4?

The big hook for Strangetown was that aliens made an appearance, but StrangerVille is lacking when it comes to playable aliens. While it can be argued that the final boss is alien in appearance, its official name is Mother Plant.
