 The most common way to get aliens into your game is by getting abducted.  To get abducted, an adult or teen sim must stargaze using the expensive telescope at night.  In doing so, there is a small chance they may be abducted by aliens!
-It, however, an EXTREMELY SMALL chance - something like 1/2 of 1% (0.05%)!  This makes it incredibly rare that any simmer will experience a natural alien abduction in the course of play without hacks or cheating.  Generally if you'd like to experience an abduction you'll need to get a hack for it, or force an abduction...  You may also have luck sending your sim to stargaze, cancelling the action, and repeating - some simmers have reported the abduction happens very quickly after stargazing has begun, so you may increase your chances by taking multiple gazes.

 You can force an abduction by activating the [[Game Help:Testing Cheats|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.

 If your abducted sim was an adult male, when he is returned, he will be pregnant with an alien baby.  Adult and teen females and teen males will not be alien-impregnated when abducted without additional hacks.
-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.
+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.  If the abductee happens to have twins and is using a custom skin, it's possible the second baby will not have alien genetics (green skin, etc.) due to the way the game randomizes genetics.
 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.

 When the sim is abducted by aliens, they will be taken away in a beam of light, and their mood will go crazy for the duration of their visit.

+'''Curious/Strangetown:''' The exception to the small chance of abduction is the Curious household in Strangetown, which will experience an abduction the first time you stargaze at night - it is scripted to do this by the game and is the only 100% (or increased at all) chance of abduction you'll find.
