Alien: Difference between revisions

Aliens are capable of growing hair on their heads and face just like Sims, however, they are only capable of producing black pigment naturally, as they don't possess genes that create other colors.<ref group="n">[[Pollination Tech 9 Smith|Pollination Tech#9 Smith]] is the only known exception to this. He has genes for red hair, as expressed in his daughter [[Chloe Singles|Chloe]].</ref> They have dominant green skin that is universally the same tone throughout the species. They have dominant black eyes, seemingly with either black iris and black sclera, or possibly with the entire eye being the receptor. Alien eyes may be much larger than Sim eyes, may have a distinct oval shape, and may be sharply tilted, though some aliens have eyes that are generally Sim-like in size, shape and tilt. Alien ears can vary in shape, being either very small or pointed at the top, suggesting semblances of races, like Sims. Faces are almost always long and gaunt, with either small Sim-like noses or pressed up slits in the center of the face. However, it appears that some aliens do have noses that are Sim-like in size and shape. Mouths usually have thin lips, or none at all, and the inside of the mouth is light blue, the gums being the most prominent. Teeth are essentially the same. Alien bodies have the same metabolic rate as those of Sims. They age at the same rate, and gain or lose fitness when they exercise or overeat just as Sims do, with no advantage to either. Since the inner mouth is blue, it is safe to assume that the blood of aliens is blue also, indicating that it is [[Wikipedia:hemocyanin|hemocyanin]] and not hemoglobin present in their bloodstreams, an indicator that they are not mammals. If so, it is very inconsistent, as lifeforms with hemocyanin cannot eat the same foods as those with hemoglobin, whereas those aliens who have chosen to live among Simkind eat the same food Sims do. As it is not known what aliens eat on their own planet or ships, it is possible that those who choose to live off-world are first adapted to be able to eat the foods of their adopted planet. Aliens seem to be slightly more resistant to  [[Temperature|heat]]  than Sims are{{Fact}}. However, aliens are just as vulnerable to cold as Sims.

*'''Transmute Metal, Crystal, and Elements''' - Aliens can transmute metals, crystals, and elements that are placed in the world, changing it into another  one as well as changing the Rarity.

Alien abduction returns in  ''The Sims 4: Get to Work''. An abduction can occur anytime at night (9 pm to 4 am). When an abduction does occur, the Sim will stop whatever they're doing and go to the spot of abduction. The Sim will then be beamed up by a blue light into a UFO and be flown off. The Sim will then come back a couple hours later with a moodlet pertaining to aliens and abduction.

*In  ''The Sims 3'', if both  ''Seasons'' and ''Supernatural'' are installed,  a [[witch]] is capable of stopping alien pregnancies via their Sunlight Charm spell since the related moodlet registers as negative instead of positive unlike regular  pregnancy.

**If this spell is used after a day has passed, this will trigger a "Became Thin" memory if  ''Generations'' is installed.

*In  ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', aliens have a special birth certificate, gravestone, and urn.
