In this guide:
How to get abducted by aliens
To trigger an alien abduction inThe Sims 2, buy aFarstar e3 Telescopefrom the catalog and have your Sims‘Stargaze’through it at night. It must be during nighttime hours (7 pm to 2 am) and this particular telescope. You can find the Farstar e3 Telescope within the Buy Mode menu once you select ‘Sort by Room’ then ‘Outside’, and ‘Hobbies’.
It’s worth noting that the chance for an alien abduction is a random occurrence (around 5%), so it may take several attempts until it triggers. Your chances increase the longer you have your Sims perform the ‘Stargaze’ interaction. You can also get abducted if your Sim performs the ‘Watch for UFOs’ interaction at the telescope (unlocked at Science skill level 9).
You can increase your odds of an abduction if you haveThe Sims 2: Free Timeinstalled. In this expansion, Sims with a Knowledge Aspiration can unlock the ‘Summon Aliens’ Aspiration Benefit. With this benefit, Sims can perform the ‘Summon Aliens’ interaction onanytelescope to increase their chances of getting abducted.
Additionally, if you have theNightlifeexpansion, Sims may get abducted from using the ElectroDance Sphere if they have already experienced the phenomena once before.
How to trigger an alien pregnancy
Unless you use cheats,only male Sims can get pregnantfrom an alien abduction inThe Sims 2. If you just have the base game installed, male Sims are almost always guaranteed to come back pregnant as long as they are not within 5 in-game days from becoming an Elder and there is space in their household (less than 8 members).
This rate lowers if you have theFree Time,Apartment Life, or Ultimate Collection installed. Once a Sim is pregnant with an alien baby it will function the same way as a normal pregnancy with Sims delivering the baby after 3 in-game days.
Young Adults can also get pregnant if you haveThe Sims 2: Universityinstalled but you must age up your Sim soon after the abduction and move them back into a residential lot for it to take place.
It is also possible to have alien twins. Twins usually have a 10% probability, although this can be increased if you have the ‘Super Fertility’ Aspiration Benefit from the ‘Family’ Aspiration. You can also increase your odds by having the Sim eat Cheesecake (requires theOpen for Businessexpansion) or by using cheats.
