Getting abducted by Aliens in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack. The UFO appears and beams your Sim up and performs experiments on them for a few hours. Sometimes, males can get pregnant during this interstellar adventure.
Players often search for how to get abducted in The Sims 4 Get to Work, and for good reason. It's kind of hidden in the Expansion, with many options obscuring the real routes to make it happen. Aliens basically don't appear very often unless you seek them out. I'll list a few ways to do it. We have two honest ways and one via cheating that will all increase the odds Aliens show up and take your Sim to their UFO. I'm not responsible for any probe insertions they experience while on this trip, nor where they all the things are inserted, and I'm certainly not at fault if your male Sim comes back pregnant with an alien kid you don't want. The method below can also be used to make an alien-Sim hybrid if you romance a male Alien with your female Sim, as we will increase the odds aliens visit as well.
Every night, there is a slim chance for Sims to be abducted, but you can boost this greatly by taking part in certain activities. There is a hidden meter that increases and adds a buff that will last about 24h, giving you a chance to get taken that night. You'll need to keep this meter full to maximize the chance Aliens take your Sim to the UFO. When they do arrive, the Sim will head off to investigate a strange light. They are taken for a few hours then returned, Dazed. There is a small chance of Male Sims getting pregnant (like 25%).
Teaches you how alien abductions work, male pregnancy, and the different types of alien babies.
The Satellite and Out of this World Desktop computer can both be used for the same thing - Contact Aliens. This gives you a hidden moodlet for 24h, maximizing the chance for an abduction the next night.
Sims in the Get to Work Scientist Career, particularly high ranking ones, get objects that can help with abduction. The Scientist career gives access via the Out of this World Desktop computer that is unlocked at the last level (found in Electronics > Computers), and the Satellite Dish at Level 4 (found in Electronics > Misc). Both of these do the same thing, and it's on a 24 hour cooldown. Selecting Contact Aliens will lock the ability for the next 24h but give you the maximum level of that "Abduction Meter" we discussed in how abductions work.
Hit Control+Shift+C or press all four bumper/trigger buttons on PS4/Xbox and type Testingcheats on. Now you can use bb.IgnoreGameplayUnlocksEntitlement to allow your Sim to purchase the alien computer. bb.ShowHiddenObjects will let you buy the satellite dish. Both of these should be used in Live Mode as if you are in Build/Buy you need to go back in to see the objects. If you need help with cheating, here's a newbie guide and a full list of Cheats.

Search for The Truth is actually an ability that helps you get Abducted without using Scientist, which is a relief. You can use this a few hours and keep the hidden Abduction Meter full.
There is an interaction on the Telescope (Observatory) unlocked at Level 7 Logic, Search for The Truth. What this does is, raises that meter gradually for every minute you use it. Doing this for a few hours each day will give you the same result as using the computer/satellite. This interaction appears around 8-8:30 PM until dawn but won't be available if you use the contact aliens ability, as your meter is already maxed out. If you want to try for abduction that day, get on it early in the evening.
A male Sim is pregnant with an Alien baby in The Sims 4 Get to Work
In order to get footage for this, I did some save scumming so I'll share my method. Save the game around 9PM with the meter maxed out. If you make it until 3-4AM with no abduction, exit to main menu without saving and reload. For the next phase, save while your Sim is in the alien craft, immediately after the abduction. When you reload the game, the abduction should happen again. If you save scum now, you can keep going until you get a save where, within the 24h after the abduction, your Sim gets a tummy ache. This means the Sim is pregnant. I believe that only male Sims get pregnant.
An Alien baby (full blood). Half-breeds are also possible, and result from a Male Alien impregnating a Female Sim via Try for Baby.
As mentioned before, only males can get pregnant by the aliens. If they get a tummy ache, you're 72h and 3 moodlets away from the birth of your new alien baby. Don't worry as, if you don't want it you can send the baby back to the homeworld. There isn't much reason to do all this unless you want one though, so there's that. It does come in handy if you get twins, as I did, so yes multiple births are possible - I did not cheat while doing this.
Your Alien baby will grow up to have access to all the Alien Powers listed on that guide page. You can age them up to speed up the process.
Using the Observatory to contact Aliens can result in a visit to your home, which brings Aliens into your life. This means you can romance them with a female Sim in order to get pregnant with an Alien-Sim Hybrid.
Doing all the stuff with the satellite and telescope will also trigger an event where a group of aliens visits your home. By doing so you can make alien friends, in order to romance them or just have them around in your save game. Aliens won't come very often if at all, unless you give this indication you want them around by seeking them. Female Sims can get pregnant by Aliens by romancing them and using Try for Baby. This results in an Alien hybrid, which doesn't have powers. Only alien to alien try for baby or male pregnancies result in a full blood Alien child.
I hope this was helpful to you. Please remember, even with a maxed out abduction meter, the odds are not in your favor. I say this because someone will inevitably say that this doesn't work. You have about a 25% chance of being abducted each night, and a 25% chance of it being an abduction that results in a male Sim getting pregnant. This means that you can reload several times, or it can take weeks in Sim time without you getting the end result you desire.

My male sims come back pregnant after 4 times
Holy ***** it actually gets the sim abducted!
Are both the cheats conected?
How do I stop aliens from abducting my Sims? I don’t want my Sims probed!
lol yeah, although I love getting my sims abducted it's not for everyone. Easiest way is to cheat in the Satellite Dish from the bb.showhiddenobjects menu. That way you can set it to prevent abductions.
Apart from that you can avoid all the actions known to increase the odds and chances are you'll never see any abductions, also do not have aliens or disguised aliens as your sims friends. You can tell which sims are disguised aliens as when they get into any 'Very' emotion they will glow. So a Very Happy disguised alien will glow green, Very Flirty, pink and so on.
I wanted to test how custom genders worked with abduction, so I'll share my results.
Sims categorised as 'male' are all capable of getting alien pregnant, regardless of whether they have the 'masculine' or 'feminine' frames, and regardless of whether they are set to 'become pregnant', 'get others pregnant', or 'neither'. Toilet & clothing preference are also irrelevant.
My testers categorised as 'female' went with the UFO 7 times each, total 42 abductions. None of them became pregnant on any othe these occasions.
tl;dr is what matters is clicking the mars 'male' symbol to allow alien pregnancy or the venus 'female' symbol in CAS to disallow. custom gender settings are irrelevant to abduction pregnancy.
I had no idea this was a thing! I just happened without any effort on my part. It was spooky!!!
It happened to my Sim also and I didn't even want it to happen. I don't like the funny creatures that Sims have lol.
does this work for xbox
Should do, I only play on PC but can't see why this wouldn't work on console.
I just had my male Sims abducted for the second time without trying and he is pregnant for the second time too
Is this only in Strangerville? or can it happen anywhere? Thanks!
Every world.
Um? Can you get abducted in the base game?
No, you need Get To Work to have aliens in your game.
ONE MORE THING does this work on PS4?
If you have Get To Work
Do you know if the resulting male pregnancy is always male? Watching a let's play n SIM has had 4 male babies in a row, although last pregnancy was twins.
The resulting baby being a boy or girl in the game is a RNG chance although the game will take into account the balance of genders already present in your worlds.
I just had a female Sim abducted, and she came back pregnant. So maybe there's been an update?
Might be a mod? Abductions should only cause male sims to become pregnant.
is there a way for a kid to contact his mother in that other planet?
btw i didn't even see what happened just that his belly going bigger.#
No sadly the 'Mother" doesn't really exist as a Sim in the game, just a face/name on the family tree.
I will play the sims on my XboX when I get it for Christmas and I want my sim abducted, but getting a male sim pregnant seems a little weird to me. Can a female sim get pregnant by the aliens?
No, only male sims can get pregnant form abduction. But if you find or make an alien in CAS then you can make your alien family the way you want to.
Also, can you have TWIN aliens? That would be SO cool!
Yes, I've had twin aliens form abduction in my games.
I've been trying to get my male sim abducted for about 2 weeks (sim time). I've even started trying with 2 different male sims. NOTHING! I've tried search for truth and the satellite... Ugh.
Stick with one save file and one household and do all the steps above as suggested in the guide and it will greatly increase the chances of an abduction. You can always sell the items later and leave the career.
I have tried this method a lot is there another Method with cheats?
Not that I know of
Yes
Ok I've been trying so much is there like other requirements that the artical doesn't say
No, the rate of abductions is so low (as stated in the guide) so all you can do is just keep trying. There might be some mods out there that can help but last I looked they hadn't been updated in ages.
I was playing the BFF household and Liberty git abducted twice in the same week. It was actually a little inconvenient lol
I have no idea why, although I think I married her to an alien so maybe her in-laws wanted to meet her
