Game guide:Making an Alien

This is a guide to creating aliens in The Sims 3. Aliens are not featured in The Sims 3 (or any expansion pack to date), however it is 100% possible to create a basic alien without using cheats or hacks. As Create-A-Sim in The Sims 3 comes with a tool which lets you choose an exact skin tone, you can create an "alien" by making a Sim have green skin as well as various other alien features. If you want a "real" alien, follow this guide below:

Step 1: Cheat: First, before entering Create-A-Sim press control-shift-C, opening the cheat console. Type in "unlockoutfits on". This enables you to make your alien have an "alien" costume.

Step 2: Basics: Next, enter Create-A-Sim and make them have light, but not too light, green skin. Also give them a name. Make their first name be either Pol Tech (Pollination Technician) or Colony Drone. For a last name pick a number. If you're creating a Pollination Technician make it a smaller number. For a Colony Drone, a bigger number. Next, adjust your alien's weight and muscularity. It is suggested to give them average weight and very high muscularity as aliens are "superhuman". Don't forget to pick their age (Young Adult life stage recommended).

Step 3: Hair: Thirdly, make them be near-bald with green hair to match the skin, making him look like a bald alien, that is if you want a hairless alien as in rare cases aliens have hair. Facial hair is optional, but not recommended.

Step 4: Looks: After making your alien bald it's time for a few facial features. Tweak your aliens' faces to make them have: Step 5: Clothing: Fifthly, give your alien garments. You can make them have normal clothes to make them fit in, or they could still be in their Colony Drone outfit or Pollination Technician jumpsuit (you'll find the extra outfits from the cheat you entered earlier).
 * large eyes with black pupils
 * small ears
 * a long, gaunt face
 * a small, flat nose
 * black hair (that is if your alien has hair)

Step 6: Personality and Lifetime: Now time to create their personality. Make them have an interesting or complex personality as they are obviously not normal compared to other Sims. Make them be artistic, ambitious, hydrophobic or something like that. Next, pick their Lifetime Wish. Make it be something adventurous like "Seasoned Traveller". Choose their voice. Make it sound like an alien.

Step 7: Family Ties: It is suggested that your alien lives alone to start off with. But if you want, you could create a fellow alien sibling or something. It's up to you.

Step 8: Bringing your alien into SimNation: When you've done, place your alien in a lot and do what you want with them.
