Alien pregnancies: is there a chance of impregnation not happening?
Regina:
Okay--first time I've run into this one so I thought I'd ask others if they've had any similar experiences.
So, here it was, 1 a.m. and I was thinking I really should get headed to bed (yes, I'm a wimp--I do sleep--too many years of not enough sleep has had detrimental effects on my health :P) and I had my Little Mr. I'm-a-Knowledge-Legacy-Sim stargazing. This is something like my umpteenth gazillionth Legacy family I've started because no matter how I start I always end up thinking, 'but I could've done it better!' and re-start. Barring any major disasters like my PC blowing up or something like that, this hopefully will be my Legacy family. LOL
And now to bring this back around to the subject. When my sim was expelled from the spaceship I didn't hear any lullabye music, which I didn't think was too odd considering there've been occasions when I just don't hear the music. And since it was past time I get myself to bed I was thinking, 'there's a real quick way to find out for sure' and shut down the game and loaded up SimPE. Sure enough, SimPE is showing that this guy isn't pregnant.
I've only had very few abductions in my game, two that were spontaneous and two that I managed with a hacked telescope. In my first, the sim was too old to get pregnant. The second was manipulated and he came back pregnant. The third was spontaneous and he came back pregnant. The fourth was manipulated with a female sim and although I had the mod to allow females impregnated by aliens she came back not pregnant. I wasn't too concerned thinking that maybe the mod just didn't work or some such.
At any rate! What I'm wondering is if this was some kind of fluke that the sim didn't get pregnant or is it like when a pair of sims try for a baby, that there is a chance of failure conceiving? Because if there is a chance of failure I am going to be extremely disappointed. I was so excited at the thoughts of him having an alien baby (never mind the fact he has a toddler daughter and a newborn son by his wife).

Okay--now don't everyone come running all at once to answer this! ;D
I'm going to town to run some errands. Hopefully someone will have some answers or even more ponderings by the time I've returned. :)

If he's close to being an elder he won't get pregnant. I think he has to have more than 3 days left of his adult time span. I'm sure someone else will correct me if I'm wrong here!

'Tis correct. This fact applies to males the same as it applies to females.
Regina:
No--you're right, and I was going to include ALL the details in my original post and forgot that one! LOL
He has at least 10 days to go before becoming an elder.
