Male Pregnancy

[Playalot]

No..he got abducted in my game play today. I haven't had a chance to post that chapter yet. lol

I have two different files, one that was specifically geared to get abductions (Scientist with the aspiration of nerd brain so there was a rocket).  He went to Sixam, had the satelitte and the wormhole generator... He got abducted twice.  First time, no pregnancy.  Second time, there was... but then the game crashed.  And of course, the last save was JUST before the pregnancy... after trying and trying and trying to get him abducted again (which he never did), he did meet a female alien that he moved in and tried for baby with, but still no alien pregnancy.  I think the best solution would be to up the chance of pregnancy but either a button to turn things off, OR the ability to cancel the interaction if one doesn't want alien pregnancy or abduction.  I don't want alien babies all over the place, but I just want one or two!

I even have a second file that I was trying with and no abductions at all for him.

The simplest approach they could at least try is to make the abduction interaction could be cancelled and of course lower the chance of abduction if the sims is not actively looking for it. For female alien to male sim pregnancy problem, I thought the simplest solution would be make the other sim who your sim ask try for baby be the host of the alien child. They could also make a new interaction that will guaranteed male to be pregnant and not the female if the interaction succeed.

I kind of like the fact that there's a chance for both male and female to get pregnant.  I tried for that a lot in the second file.  But no dice.

That's why I thought maybe they should include an interaction to ensure only ONE of the parents got pregnant while also keeping "try for baby" for a chance for both.

Been trying to get Don Lothario abducted and knocked up and having the worst time trying to even get him beamed up. I have the satellite and every 24 hours I click it to contact aliens and no dice. Thought it would be interesting to have Don himself with child since he has been "very busy" with having seven children with four different women, it would be a nice revenge for him not keeping it in his pants to understand the pain of hormones and labor, lol! I have only had two abductions thus far in my game, only one was a male that resulted in a pregnancy, and I am tired of trying to get him abducted at this point and he is a an elder now and running out of time. I think my final option to get him pregnant is to have him "Try for Baby" with an alien with the fertile reward and hope that both him and the alien get pregnant.

@snackrafice , as far as I can make out EA have hotpatched the female aliens getting male sims pregnant out. The links that oshziu posted above have some info on that.

@snackrafice Your only hope is that the abductions is finally work and Don eventually got pregnant. Right now only female aliens would get pregnant with male sims if they choose to try for baby. For now we can only hope that they tweak this again in the future by keeping abduction rate low while making pregnancy rate still high like before. The only reason I hate male pregnancy is because it always uncomfortable to them (even after the second time when they should know what is happening). It's like male only got the bad effects on pregnancy unlike female who at least got happy when they know they are indeed pregnant.

I didn't see this link so sorry if it's been posted and I'm being repetitive. 

The chances of abduction and male pregnancy have been patched.  The notes from the patch are here.

Our overly-friendly visitors from Sixam were a bit too amorous. We've reduced the frequency of alien abductions and further reduced the frequency of male pregnancy thereafter. We know our men are good looking but that's no excuse!

There appears to have been some imbalance in the game as some players were experiencing multiple abductions but other players were  experiencing few or none.  I know I'm one of the players who hasn't experienced any at all.  Before the patch or after.

My only guess is the RNG (Random Number Generator) / something that determine all chance based interaction (the bug reports in sims 4 prefer the term Randomizer) in a game is somehow broken in some games that is why this issues is different for each player.

Drat! I didn't realize that they patched out the male pregnancies through simple woohoo with an alien Sim. Thanks for the tip! I guess all that is left is to keep my fingers crossed and hope that Don gets pollinated through a UFO abduction before his lifepspan comes to a close. D=

I'm so disappointed to hear that! I absolutely loved having this be a result of a woohoo



I wish everyone the best of luck with their male pregnancy efforts!

OK so long after giving up trying for a male sim to get pregnant from an alien abduction, it finally happens! Which is good news! I basically had just stopped bothering about using the satellite in my dynasty game to prevent abductions because nothing ever happened anymore and then I had 8 sims in the house anyway. Well, an elder died, a few of the sims got abducted a few times and then the first time my YA heir gets abducted he gets pregnant!

So, yeah! Finally a male pregnant through alien abduction.

Woo! *blows horn

Whelp! As soon as I gave up hope that Don Lothario would get abducted.... BAM! He got beamed up! Took me by surprise since his age line was sparkly and he was due for a visit by the Grim Reaper. Basically once I gave up on using the satellite to try to encourage an abduction that it finally occurred all on its own. I got annoyed that the results of using the satellite only got Don a phone call from aliens or a bunch would just bust through the front door and eat all the food in the household's fridge, RUDE! After he was abducted I tried to keep calm because a single abduction doesn't mean a pregnancy and I didn't want to be let down. So after Don almost set fire to the house by grilling burgers and extinguishing the flames I got the confirming sparkly belly, woo~!! Glad it finally happened to Don, now he can feel the wrath of all his baby momma's, lol!  But poor Nina, she is going to be stuck caring for this nooboo all alone because Don will pass shortly after the alien baby is born.
