Alien Abduction difficulty
« on: August 10, 2015, 10:58:03 AM »
Is anybody else having trouble making them happen without use of mods?

I've been trying to get another guy abducted, and its just not happening at all. I use the satellite because without that you have no chance from my experience. But when I use it, I get a phone call or a visit from a whole bunch of aliens, but no actual abductions.

This is a problem of the random number generator for the game, sadly.  It's really a matter of randomness.  You can go to EA answers and go to this thread: Bad Randomizer Complaining Thread to let them know the randomizer is playing up for abductions.

Someone already posted in there re: alien abductions since the update. To be honest, Im not 100% sure now. Before the update I was able to make it happen quite easily. Since the update not at all without mods.

This is a problem for a lot of players. Shortly after the release of the EP some players reported an ongoing problem with being abducted too frequently. The Sims team then "tweaked" the chance of it happening. I've had GTW since March and not had an abduction yet.

The patch notes

"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!"

I've only had one abduction without mods. That abduction was prior to the patch. The devs need to tweak it again because they fixed the heck out of it.  ;D
