Line 18:
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.
After 3 Sim hours, the abducted Sim will be returned. Until then, an icon of the UFO labeled "Return Home" will appear in the Sim's action queue, and his or her [[motive]]s will fluctuate wildly. If the Special Event Camera is enabled, the Sim's return will trigger a cutscene. Otherwise, the UFO will appear, hover above the street, and unceremoniously drop the Sim onto the street. This does not harm the Sim, although he or she will bounce. Other Sims and pets on the lot will come to watch, at least if they are awake. The front of the UFO opens when the Sim is ejected. This can be seen in the cutscene, or if the game is paused at the right moment and the display is rotated so that the front of the UFO is visible. If the abducted Sim is an [[adult]] male, he will always come back [[Pregnancy|pregnant]], so long as he is more than 5 days from becoming an [[elder]], and there are fewer than 8 household members when he is abducted.<ref>[http://www.cyjon.net/node/174 Cyjon notes] that ''FreeTime'' introduced a reduced chance of pregnancy.</ref> In three days, he will give birth to a half-alien baby whose other parent is the unseen [[NPC]] [[Pollination Technician]].

[[Knowledge]] Sims will gain a positive memory of having met aliens, while Sims with other [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspirations]] will gain a negative memory of the abduction. Other Sims will not be affected by the abduction, though they may acquire memories of it, with Knowledge Sims gaining a positive memory of the abducted Sim having met aliens. Additionally, to be abducted (or have a relative abducted) is often a [[Wants and Fears|want]] for Knowledge Sims, and a fear for others. In fact, it is not unusual for an abducted Knowledge Sim to return with a want to meet aliens. If a Sim is abducted more than once, he or she will get a separate memory for each abduction. The odds of being abducted are very low, on the order of 0.05% percent for each animation cycle.
