Talk:Alien abduction

Abductions from University
I've yet to have my young adult Sims use the Farstar e3 telescope on campus, so I'm wondering how the game handles this. Does it simply apply the "no pregnancy for YAs" rule, or do the aliens see campuses as off limits? Dharden (talk) 15:37, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims (1) Alien Abduction

I read the article to know what happened to my sim who suddenly dissappeared off the lot. After that, I tried my best to get him abducted again to change his traits (which have worsened). In the process, I discovered the game code AI of abducting Sims, and that to intentionally get your sim abducted, he has to stargaze (but not by day or night), by the hour between day and night as the sun rises and sets (you can notice the difference of lighting).

I edited the article explaining this helpful trick for players who want to alter their sims traits, but later, as I passed by the article, I found it has been changed back to the FALSE: there is a low chance of the Sim getting abducted if you use the telescope at night.

Please do not change my edit, as it is true, and I got some Sims abducted up to 5 times in a row by applying this trick. If you still doubt what I'm saying, try it. Try stargazing in the twilight hour (as in star gazing, and finish as well before the sun has fully risen), or stargazing in the hour right before the twilight hour (as in start before the twilight, but finish during twilight).
