Aliens???

Post by sheridanhoughton » December 10th, 2018, 5:30 am

I am playing with West Victoria Island, and have recently installed Seasons. I was looking to see which sims were available for one of my sims to marry, and using MC I selected age, gender, no relation, etc, and also town family. And was rather bemused to see that I had a family of aliens listed as one of the town families. They weren't in any of the houses, and I thought I had SP set for no aliens, because I have never had them in sims 3 before. Now I am really confused (not that is is hard to confuse me).  any ideas?

Every world will have a household of 5 NPC aliens.  In new worlds the game will create one NPC alien a night until there are 5.  They hibernate off world and are used for alien visitations and abductions.  Unless the creator of West Victoria Island created some resident aliens, those sims wouldn't be living on a lot.  I've never seen aliens move and become residents by themselves or though SP.

I didn't know SP had any settings for aliens, so I'm not sure what setting you changed.  I know you can use Retuner to set the chances for abductions and visitations to 0.  But, the alien household will still be there hibernating like other NPC service sims who only make an appearance in the world until needed.

Sounds perfectly normal if you have Seasons installed.

I've never seen a SP setting to get rid of aliens all together as far as I can recall. The only one I know of is the one to prevent them from moving into a house when immigration is enabled. Or rather, using them as genetic base for immigration families moving in, I should say.
