Pollination Technician

A Pollination Technician is a member of an alien civilization, who can be referred to as any member of the crew of the UFOs that abduct Sims stargazing through a telescope at night. A Pollination Technician is the other parent to alien-Sim hybrid babies caused by abduction. They can impregnate male Sims with advanced technology.

Each neighborhood has its own Pollination Technician. The Pollination Technician doesn't actually exist as a Sim in the game, but as a set of DNA that is passed on to alien children. Unless mods are used, a neighborhood only has one Pollination Technician; by default, all Sims in a neighborhood that were born through alien abduction are either half- or full siblings.

The numbered Pollination Technicians only exist in the family trees of pre-created families.

When a Sim is impregnated by a Pollination Technician after being abducted, the Pollination Technician will be anonymous, but will appear in the hybrid child's family tree.

The Pollination Technician can be removed from the family tree of an alien-Sim hybrid toddler or child if that hybrid toddler or child is taken away by the Social Worker and later adopted. When this happens, the Technician and the birth father will both be replaced by the members of the adopting couple. Also, programs such as SimPE can be used to remove the Pollination Technician from the family tree.

Trivia

 * In the Swedish and Norwegian translation of the game he has the number 11 at the end of his name, named as Pollineringstekniker 11.
 * The Pollination Technician will never appear as deceased in a Sim's family tree.
 * In every neighborhood, he has no age bar. The only exception being Strangetown where he is an adult.
