Say no to abductions!

[Chuckles_82]

Don't want your sim to get abducted? Lock their doors, and they'll have a route fail tantrum, but stay firmly on the ground. On a community lot? Buy a bunch of garden gnomes, which can be dragged to inventory, and then place them in front of exits. If they're outdoors, you could try placing the gnomes around them, though I haven't had to try outdoors yet. Share any other ways you know to avoid letting your sims get abducted.

That is so helpful- thanks for posting!  The number of abductions I've been getting is driving me crazy, especially while trying to play the challenges!

I don't use the telescope or pick up space rocks ever.   This lowers the likelyhood of being abducted to something like 5%.  It's the picking up of space rocks, having them on your lot and using the telescope that increases those chances.   I've had one abduction in 6 weeks.

You can also avoid being abducted by resetting your Sim. It'll clear out the queue, even clearing out things you can't clear out normally, like being abducted.
