Galaxa Space Car

A UFO in The Sims 3 is an item that an alien automatically has in its inventory. It is the fastest car in the game, as it seems to come down from the sky next to its destination after leaving its earlier lot. They only fit one person at a time, so an entire fleet is needed for a single family.

Aquiring a UFO
There are two ways to be able to use a UFO.
 * Add an alien to your household by either using testingcheatsenabled to add an alien you see to your home, or meeting an alien and convince them to move in with you. The alien will have a Galactica Space Car in his/her inventory, which can be moved to a parking space and used.
 * Use buydebug to go into debug items, and under Miscellaneous there will be the UFO. Like a car, it must be placed in a parking space.

UFO Upgrades
If your sim has a level 7 Handiness skill, they can upgrade the UFO in two ways, but only one upgrade can be on a UFO at once.
 *  Space Cannons allows the alien (or whoever owns the UFO) to invade a lot by clicking on the UFO, selecting a lot, and beginning. If the sim is evil, they will get the Fiendishly Delighted moodlet.
 * Space Travel lets the driver travel to three planets: Jupiter, Mars, and the Moon.  Your sim will come back with a special moodlet and perhaps something new in their inventory.

Invading with your UFO


Alien Invasion, only possible with the above upgrade, takes a while but is quite fun to watch. First, your sim flies to your selected lot, and the ship hovers for several minutes, luring sims over to the lot as they run to the ship to see what's going on. After a significant amount of sims are gathered, the alien will shoot lasers into the crowd, singing sims and scattering them as they yell and scream. The law will not attempt to do anything about it, and there are no consequences whatsoever.

Space Travel with your UFO
Space Travel works a bit like using the Time Machine in The Sims 3: Ambitions. Your traveling sim will be non-viewable for the duration of the trip, and it's possible to rotate between household members, but notifications about events that your sim was part of will come up at the side of the screen, and your sim will return with a special moodlet and an addition (or absence) of items in his/her inventory.
