6 Creepy Scenarios To Create This
Halloween in The Sims 4.
Alien Abductions:
Sims 4 has a few occult's that make the
game more interesting. Besides Vampires
and Mermaids, there are aliens. The great
thing about the aliens in Sims 4 is that you
do not need cheats to bring them out of
hiding. Aliens can be found almost
anywhere. Your Sims lovely neighbor who
bakes the most delicious cookies and
tends her immaculate garden, or that hot
guy flirting with your Sim at the bar could
be an alien in disguise.
Aliens entered the Sims 4 as a life state
with the Get To Work Expansion Pack.
These extraterrestrial Sims come from
Sixam (Maxis backwards), a secret lot
found in the game using Rocket Science
or the Scientist Career.
You can use cheats to prevent alien
abductions in your game, where is the fun
in that?
One of the scariest parts about alien
abductions is that they often result in male
sims returning to earth pregnant. The
outcome is a tiny alien baby. While still only
objects in Sims 4, these babies usually
have blue or green skin and strange
powers. However, when you give birth to
an alien baby, you will be given the option
to send the monstrosity back to its mother
planet or raise it as your own. Still, this
option only appears for a short time, and
if you miss it, then you better become a
proud alien parent real quick.
Pro Tip 1: Increase the chance of an alien
abduction by taking an interest in aliens
that you meet. Check out alien night at
the local pub and make friends with some
extraterrestrials.
Pro Tip 2: Join the scientist career. At level
4 of this career, your Sim will unlock a
satellite dish that allows them to contact
aliens. Alternatively, the out-of-this-world
desktop computer works the same way the
satellite does and increases the chances
of your Sims being whisked away to Sixam
for some serious probing. You can also use
the telescope to contact aliens if you want
the opportunity for an out-of-this-world
vacay!
While abductions happen at random in The
Sims 4, you can encourage or discourage
them using the satellite dish that comes
with the Scientist career. A Sim in this
career has a higher chance of being
abducted by aliens.
