▲The '''Horrorwitz "Star-Track" Backyard Telescope''' is a good way of increasing a Sim's [[Logic]] skill. However, a Sim who spends a long time looking through it (two or three points without taking a break), may be [[Alien abduction|abducted by aliens]]. A blue sphere will appear, and the Sim will vanish for a few hours. When the Sim returns, their [[personality]] will have been reversed, and they will think about aliens for quite a while afterward.
The telescope has a [[fun]] rating of '''4'''.

Line 19 ⟶ 28:
In ''The Sims 2'', there are two telescopes, the '''Astrowonder''' (§550) and the '''Farstar e3''' (§2100). The price isn't the biggest difference - Sims using the Astrowonder ''won't ever'' be [[Alien Abduction|abducted]] (unless cheats or hacks are used to force an abduction), but with the Farstar it's possible. If an adult male Sim who is more than 5 days away from becoming an elder gets abducted, he will come back pregnant.
[[Child#The Sims 2|Children]] can use the telescopes, but will appear to levitate while doing so, as the booster stool they normally use will not appear. This was fixed in the [[The Sims 2: Apartment Life/Patch|''Apartment Life'' patch]].
In ''The Sims 2'', a telescope can be used indoors, so long as it is pointed out a window. The window can be single-tile or multi-tile, but the left side of the telescope has to be facing a window for it to be usable. This can be seen in the [[Tinker family]]'s house in [[Bluewater Village]], which has a Farstar e3 pointed out a second-floor window.
Line 25 ⟶ 34:
In ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', using the telescope builds [[enthusiasm]] for the [[Science (hobby)|Science]] [[hobby]]. All of the telescope actions have a chance of alien abduction, but the [[Aspiration Benefits|Aspiration Benefit]] for [[Knowledge]], '''Summon Aliens''', allows a Sim to create a spotlight with a flashlight and the telescope, giving them a huge chance of abduction. This can be used with either telescope, but will not be available if the telescope is indoors. It is also unavailable on the telescope at [[Hobby lot#Science: Aspirational Laboratories|Aspirational Laboratories]]. It also appears to be different from other telescope actions, as it does not appear to build the Logic skill. In ''FreeTime'', Sims can also earn [[Simoleons|money]] by discovering new celestial and astral bodies.
▲Being abducted is easier with ''boolprop testingcheatsenabled true'' - with this cheat active, shift-click on the telescope of your choice and add the command "Get Abducted" to the queue, in order to have the Sim taken by aliens. However, this method isn't perfect as nearby Sims will not get the memory of the abduction without using hacks. This method does not work after ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' is installed.{{clarify}}
Using a telescope during the day allows the user to "spy" on their neighbors. If they are caught, however, the angered neighbor will rush onto the lot, head straight for the spy, and shove them, causing a decrease in relationship. The first Sim instance in the neighborhood data, as seen in [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] (not necessarily the first Sim created), will always be selected for the angry neighbor. If the player is playing with the family/household of said Sim, the first of the secondary family will be the angry neighbor instead. The following table lists all the default angry neighbors in the pre-made neighborhoods:

Seth Zaidi is the first Sim created in Strangetown. If he is resurrected, he will be the shoving Sim in the neighborhood. If Mary Melons is resurrected, she will be the secondary shoving Sim.
===Astrowonder Telescope===

|desc = At the turn of the first millennium, Morrigan Hemlock fought for the inclusion of astrology into the scientific realm, but could never convince the authorities of its scientific legitimacy. After nearly a 45 year battle, Morrigan turned to astronomy as a scientific endeavor. This telescope, first coined as a "star gazer" is what Morrigan used to wow the crowd of scientific experts, and thus forever lost her love of astrology.
