Aliens

This guide is all about aliens and alien abduction in The Sims 2.

Aliens

Aliens are the playable supernatural species from the base game, and a funky addition to The Sims 2. With green skin and black shiny eyes, aliens are a bit odd, but quite fun as playable sims.

In order to get aliens, there are two ways: alien abduction, and making them yourself.

Alien Abduction

The most common way to get aliens into your game is by getting abducted. To get abducted, an adult male sim must stargaze using the expensive telescope at night. In doing so, there is a small chance he may be abducted by aliens!

When the sim is abducted by aliens, he will be taken away in a beam of light, his mood will go crazy for the duration of his visit. When he is returned, he will be pregnant with an alien baby. The pregnancy will proceed as a normal female sim's pregnancy, though he will certainly look a bit surprised when he gives birth. The abductee will give birth to a green baby with huge tilted black eyes and a tiny nose after the standard three days.

Once born, aliens have no special abilities above normal sims (they don't learn faster or excel at anything in particular any more than normal sims) - any special powers you see in pictures or stories are just, well, storytelling. You can make them wear strange clothes, live in weird houses from space, or otherwise play them differently if you like, though.

Forced Abduction

You can force an abduction by activating the testing cheats, and then shift-click on the expensive telescope with your sim in live mode. Choose "DEBUG - Get abducted" and your sim will then be abducted by aliens.

Creating Aliens

If you don't want to get your sim abducted and you'd just like to create an alien in Create a Sim, you can do that as well. Activate the testing cheats in neighborhood view before entering Create a Sim/Create a Family. Then press Shift+N, which will activate debug mode. Debug mode will allow you to access the alien skin and eyes in Create a Sim to create new aliens there, though you will not be able to choose from the alien face if you want your alien to look like the normal big-eyed, small-nosed alien.

You can, of course, download all sorts of custom and default replacement eyes and skintones to make more interesting, beautiful, or freakish aliens than Maxis defaults. See: Content List: Halloween and Horror.
