'''Alien abduction''' is an event that can happen in ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 2 (console)]]'',

[[File:
In ''[[The Sims]]'', alien abduction is only possible when a Sim uses the "Gaze" option at night on the Horrorwitz "Star-Track" Backyard [[Telescope]] introduced in ''[[Livin' Large]]''. If a Sim uses the telescope at night, there is a low chance that the Sim will be abducted by an unseen UFO. A blue sphere will appear, and the Sim will
When a Sim is successfully abducted, all family members and [[NPC|NPCs]] on the lot will run over to the area of abduction and cry. While the Sim is abducted, their needs will stay static and their [[personality]] is changed, as well as their [[interests]]. After a few Sim hours, the abductee will return and will immediately think of aliens and spaceships in their thought balloon.
==The Sims Bustin' Out==
In ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', an abductee will return after about 8 hours with a changed personality. This might, or might not, work in the player's favor. It could be a way of changing stats that the player regretted having given the Sim, or it might drastically alter certain categories that the player sees as favorable; e.g. from very neat and not outgoing to

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Sims will only be abducted if they are using the Farstar e3 [[Telescope#The Sims 2|telescope]]. If the [[Cinematic|Special Event Camera]] is enabled, this will trigger a cutscene. Otherwise, a bluish beam will appear, and the Sim will be pulled upward into the unseen UFO, while attempting to hold on to the telescope.

If the ''[[Nightlife]]'' expansion pack is installed, a Sim who has been abducted at least once may be abducted while using the [[ElectroDance Sphere]] on medium or high, even if he or she was a teen when abducted the first time. A Sim abducted from the Dance Sphere will disappear and reappear some time later. Being abducted from the Dance Sphere does not cause a Sim's motives to fluctuate. Each Dance Sphere will only trigger one abduction, but the odds of abduction are much higher than with the telescope.

Aliens are very important to the [[Strangetown]] story (especially with [[The Curious Brothers]]), but play a lesser part in [[Pleasantview]] - except in the case of [[Bella Goth]] and the [[Caliente Family]]. <!--(In order to avoid needlessly posting spoilers on this page, please see the relevant articles for full details).-->
A player who ''wants'' a Sim to be abducted can use "[[testingcheatsenabled|boolprop testingcheatsenabled true]]", then shift-click any telescope, and select '''''be abducted'''''. This cheat does not work after

By default, alien abduction is disabled in ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'', but it can be enabled with mods,<ref>{{Wayback|date=20160414002337|url=http://www.sims2workshop.com/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=2810|title= Alien Abduction Hack Castaway at ''Sims2Workshop''}}</ref> and male pregnancy works in the game.

In [[The Sims 2 (console)|''The Sims 2'' for consoles]], alien abduction works as in ''[[Alien abduction#The Sims Bustin' Out|Bustin' Out]]'', except that abducted Sims will vomit and will yell at other Sims for no apparent reason. The Sim will not become pregnant or have a baby. One of the most popular methods of getting a Sim abducted is to make sure the Sim has high [[Logic]] and is in a good mood. Have the Sim gaze into the telescope for several hours, and at some time, he or she will be whisked away by a beam of light from the sky.

[[File:Alien Abduction In The Sims 3.jpg|thumb|220x220px]]
Aliens and alien abduction return in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]''. Abduction can occur when a Sim is on the same lot as a UFO, between the hours of 12 am and 3 am. A Sim who has been abducted will have a negative [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 3)/Life status#Aliens|"Abducted"]] [[moodlet]] for 10 hours. There is a 2% chance a Sim will get abducted at night. An additional +13% chance will be added if the Sim stargazes through a [[Telescope#The Sims 3|telescope]], and an extra +38% chance will be added for each space rock in a Sim's inventory, up to +75%.
When an abduction occurs, multi-colored
Female Sims only receive the "Abducted" moodlet after an abduction. There is a 33% chance that a young adult, adult, or elder male Sim will get the [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 3)/Life status#Pregnancy / Babies|"Unexpected Weight Gain"]] moodlet after the "Abducted" moodlet has expired. After the "Unexpected Weight Gain" moodlet has expired, the Sim will give birth. Unlike ''The Sims 2'', the baby will be purely alien, not a hybrid. Also unlike ''The Sims 2'', the Sim is treated as a host, not as being truly pregnant. This is probably why elder males can carry alien babies, even though elders cannot become pregnant. Since male Sims carrying alien babies are not considered to be truly pregnant, they do not receive maternity leave or change into maternity clothes.
Another difference from ''The Sims 2'' is that the player will be given the choice of sending the baby back to the alien

[[File:How I'm Leaving Area 51.png|thumb]]
Alien abduction returns in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]''. An abduction can occur anytime at night (10 pm- 4 am). When an abduction does occur, the Sim will stop whatever they're doing and go to "Investigate Weird Light". The Sim will then be beamed up by a blue light into a UFO and be flown off. The Sim will be returned a couple of hours later with a moodlet pertaining to aliens and abduction.
The interaction "Investigate Weird Light", which replaces all items in a Sim's queue at the beginning of the event, cannot be canceled.<ref>Although abductions cannot be stopped in ''The Sims 4'', there is a [https://deaderpoolmc.tumblr.com/tagged/mcccrelease mod] that allows the player to prevent them.</ref> However, it can be stopped by blocking the Sim's way to the weird light, such as locking the doors for the Sim.
Both female and male Sims, including aliens, can be abducted. Only males will return with a 25% chance of alien pregnancy, while females will only receive the moodlet.
Sims in the [[Science (career)|scientist]] profession are more likely to be abducted. The satellite dish, the Out of this World Desktop, the worm hole generator, and space rocks also increase the odds. The satellite dish and the Out of this World Desktop can also be used to contact aliens (with a 24h cooldown), which may trigger an abduction.
==Trivia==
*In ''The Sims 2'', pregnant male Sims are treated the same as pregnant female Sims. They have a pregnancy morph and wear maternity clothing, and get time off from work.
*In ''The Sims 2'', if a young adult male gets abducted while at university, they will not get pregnant until they graduate and move to the main neighborhood or another sub-neighborhood.
*In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', pregnant male Sims are treated differently. They gain weight and develop a pregnant waddle, but do not have a pregnancy morph until later and still wear their regular everyday clothing. They do not get time off from work.
*In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', when idling, an impregnated male may occasionally pat his stomach in concern over the "Unexpected Weight Gain". To the Sim's alarm, this is followed by a strange green glow emanating from the stomach which eventually fades again, hinting at the alien pregnancy.
*In ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', if there is a satellite dish on the lot, the player can click on it and select the "prevent abductions" tab to eliminate the chance of alien abduction for 24 hours.
