Extraterrestrials are among the occult which can be created at the beginning of The Sims 4. They can do anything normal Sims can do, whether it’s going to school, working in a career, or having kids. However, they have a few abilities and interactions that can make the gameplay more intriguing.

How to Become an Alien in The Sims 4

Currently, there are three methods to create an Alien; in CASE, getting abducted by aliens and having children with one. The first is the simplest. Simmers can click on the + icon in Create a Sim (CAS) to add another Sim to the household. There is an option to add occults and one of them is aliens.

Aliens have two looks; their everyday look and a disguise (human look). Players can customize the everyday look by changing skin color, adding weird facial markings, and more. The disguise is done like any other human look in CAS.

The second method is a bit strange. Work in the Scientific career will allow players to have access to a Satellite Antena. It basically allows players to Contact the aliens and impregnate Male Sim, or to protect the hearth against kidnapping for 24 hours. Keep in mind that a lot of materials are needed to make a satellite dish.

If players do not enter this particular career, it is possible to obtain it through cheats. Open the cheat console by pressing:

• Ctrl+Shift+C for PC
• Command + Shift + C for Mac
• R1+R2+L1+L2 for Console
• The four shoulder buttons for Xbox One

Then type Test cheats True Where The tests deceive, and cheats will be enabled. After that, type bb.showhiddenobjects. Then the Simmers must enter Build Mode and type Satellite in the search box. Just place it on the Lot and that’s it.

After getting the dish, select Contact the aliens will cause the male Sim to be removed from players. The creature usually appears between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. Have a high Logical skill and using the Observatory in The Sims 4 can really increase the risk of being abducted.

This may not happen on the first attempt, so Simmers should keep selecting Contact Aliens every 24 hours until it happens. Players can also save at 9 p.m. and wait until 4 a.m. If nothing happens, they can reload the save and try again.

When an abduction occurs, small lights flicker in a specific area. If the male Sim stands in this area, he will be pulled up by a beam of light from a spaceship. The Sim will be taken to Planet Sixama hidden area in The Sims 4. After a while, if he comes back with a stomach ache and is uncomfortable, then congratulations, the Male Sim is pregnant. The pregnancy then continues normally. Once the Sim has given birth, players can either keep the alien baby or send it to its hometown.

Because pregnancy has a 25% chance of success, players can save while the Male Sim is removed. If he doesn’t come back pregnant, they can reload the save until the aliens impregnate him.

The last method is to Try for baby with an alien. It doesn’t matter if one parent or both are aliens, the baby will be born one. However, two alien parents will have a baby that has all of the alien abilities, while a baby of one alien parent will only have some of the abilities.

If Simmers have trouble meeting aliens (because most of them walk in disguise), they can try going to a bar on a Tuesday night between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. Tuesdays are usually Alien night, so the chances of encountering one are quite high.

Alien Abilities

Aliens can do a lot of cool things besides dressing up.

Aptitude	Gesture	The description
Analyze personality	Friendly	Check Out Other Sims Traits
Empathy	Friendly	Being able to feel the same emotion the other Sim is feeling
clear memory	nonsense	Reset the relationship to zero, as if Sim and Alien never met
Scare with the probe	nonsense	Take out a probe and scare the other Sim with it
Raise dead alien collectibles	–	When interacting with an alien collectible, the aliens have the choice to bring it back to life
Transmute elements, metals and crystals	–	By clicking on an element, a metal or a crystal, the aliens have the possibility of transmuting it The results, however, are unexpected. So if players transmute a rare crystal they can get something better or worse, it’s completely random.

Aliens who only have one alien parent can use some of these abilities, but not all of them. Only pure aliens can use all these powers. Aliens that have been abducted by a human also have full abilities.

The Full Control camera can be placed anywhere and will take an image depending on the angle it is at: on the ground, on a table, on a tripod, etc. It should be mentioned that the camera will not work if placed in inventory.

Also, this mod is compatible with other mods, such as modern family portrait. Like the Full Control Camera, you can find it by typing “camera” in the search box.

It’s hard to believe that teenagers didn’t appear in The Sims games before The Sims 2. In fact, The Sims only had three life stages: baby, child, and adult. Since The Sims 2, seven life stages have become standard, as toddler, teen, young adult, and elder have been added to the mix. But many Simmers still feel like a stage in their lives is missing: tweens.

RELATED: The Sims 4: Mods That Bring Features From The Sims 2 & 3 (Plus One Bonus Mod)

The differences between kids and teens, or teens and adults, varied in The Sims 2, 3, and 4. In The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, teens looked different from adults. They were noticeably shorter, had different interactions, and even different clothes. In The Sims 4, however, teenagers are more like adults than they ever were. While it’s great that teens can now share clothes with adults and elders, some Simmers feel like teens have lost their childish touch. For gamers who wish their teenage years were more like… well, teens, ItsKatato’s pre-teen mod adds a whole new stage of life to the game, complete with college, mood swings, and all the other joys of being a tween.

8 A pre-adolescent trait

As a child ages in the game, they will age with a pre-teen trait. If you create a tween in Create-a-Sim (CAS), they won’t automatically be assigned the trait, but they can still be manually turned into a tween by going to the tween sector menu and selecting “add tween”. . trait.” This works like any other normal trait in the game; it is not a reward trait, so it will take up one of two trait slots (both tweens and teens have two slots for traits).You can still edit your Sims’ traits here, just like you would if they were teenagers. This way, Sims can unlock one trait as a preteen and another as a teenager – which somehow makes it seem like your Sims can have more traits than they could in the vanilla game.

seven Tweens look different

ItsKatato’s inspiration for this mod came from the fact that teenage Sims look too much like young adults. Many players tend to rejuvenate their teenage Sims as they grow older to mimic the younger tween look.

RELATED: Sims 4: Best Trait Combinations

Now tween sims will automatically look younger than teens. They will be smaller than teen or adult Sims, and their facial features will appear softer and younger. They also look more animated, but these Sims still fit perfectly into a vanilla game. The mod supports default skin overlays, skin details, and other CAS content, so your tweens will always match other Sims in the neighborhood.

6 Go to college

Instead of going to high school, all pre-teens are automatically enrolled in middle school until they turn teens and start high school like the rest of their Sim peers. Middle school works the same way as elementary and high school: it’s a rabbit hole that your Sims will frequent Monday through Friday. Tweens even have their own homework books — they look like high school homework books, but in red instead of blue so they’re easy to identify. If a pre-teen Sim loses their middle school assignments, another book can be purchased on the computer, just like other assignments.

5 No more mood swings

With The Sims 4: Parenthood installed, teens will experience random mood swings. They are powerful emotional addicts (usually anger, sadness, or embarrassment) exclusive to the adolescent stage of life. These are hard to get rid of without a lot of effort and they usually last for a few days in-game.

RELATED: Sims 4 Parenthood: Best Traits Ranked Best To Worst

Pre-teen Sims will also experience mood swings, but they’ll experience them more frequently than teens, and ItsKatato says they tend to happen quickly. They seem to be just as intense, too. Luckily, none of these phases involve the bear suit like the childhood phases do.

4 Hygiene and body changes

This mod adds an in-depth hygiene system for pre-teen Sims. Preteen Sims can now apply Body Spray, Deodorant, and Lotion. Following hygiene routines will bring positive improvements to Sims, but using too much or too little can have consequences. Using lotion after showering will give Sims skin that is soft to the touch, but their skin will turn dry if they forget. Applying deodorant slows the deterioration of hygiene for any Sim wearing it, and deodorant and body spray make Sims smell nice. The body spray will also give Sims a confidence boost, but using too much will make them dizzy. Pre-teen Sims can also have voice issues, but there’s no silver bullet for this; it is part of growth.

3 Tweens work with all lifespans

This mod works with short, normal, or long lifespans, but it does require a bit of setup. This means that the mod files must be modified when the game is closed, using the configuration file generated with the Mod. To change the lifetime settings, change the “preteen_agespan” value in the config file to the number of days you want your Sims to be preteens.

RELATED: The Sims 4: Best Adult Clothing CC Designers

The default number is 7 days, but you can change this number as you see fit. However, you may want to align your preteen lifestage with the game lifespan. In The Sims 4, Sims are teenagers for 7 days in a short lifespan, 13 days in a normal lifespan, and 52 days in a long life.

2 Compatibility issues

To use ItsKatato’s Pre-Teen Mod, you need to have The Sims 4: Parenthood game pack installed, as well as Lumpinou Mod Mood Pack. The Sims 4: Snowy Escape was also used, but only for animations. So for players who don’t mind some missing animations, the mod is totally usable without Snowy Escape. ItsKatato’s Preteens Mod is also compatible with Adeepindigo Education Review Mod.

If you already use Education Overhaul, you can download a Pre-Teens add-on to integrate college features.

1 New features are coming soon

ItsKatato is already working on new updates for the mod. These will come in modpacks meaning they can be easily added and removed without affecting the base mod. The first to come appears to be a new romance system specifically for tweens, to make romantic interactions more age-appropriate. Other planned updates include a College Deep Pack, Self-Care Pack, and Puberty Pack, which will likely add more depth to the hygiene and mood features already released in this first release.
