Alien pregnancies: is there a chance of impregnation not happening?
yetyak:
I had Vidcund Curious who is predisposed to come back pregnant, come back not pregnant about 6 times. Same with Lazlo. Moved them out of that strange house and wham, Lazlo had little green twins. Never did try again with Vidcund.

Just noodling this whole thing I got to wondering if mayhaps there was a mod in my game I might've missed. I keep all my mods in sub-folders in the downloads and knew I had moved everything out of those. I just now got to looking down the main Downloads folder list and ran onto the mod for a better looking pollination technician. I know this one is pre-NL and I'm not even sure how it got into that folder. But if it wasn't compatible with NL I wouldn't be surprised if it could prevent an alien pregnancy.
Er, wait a minute--it wasn't the better looking one, but the one that chose from different pol. techs.

I was wondering about mods myself, but you've already got round to posting about them :).
If you enable boolprop TestingCheatsEnabled true and shift-click on the expensive telescope, you can Force Abduction. When I did this, my sim came back pregnant. It would be interesting for you to try this a few times and see whether any of the abductees get pregnant, or some of them, or none of them... Or you could just use it to "fix" this situation.
Edit: Ack! Remember, there is a "not a bug but a feature" of NL which removes the Pollination Tech from the alien child's family tree! So it wouldn't surprise me that a Pollination Technician hack could break abduction pregnancy!

That seems weird, because I remember when I went to Strangetown to check it out because the abduction was coded to happen, everything progressed normally.
Yes, I thought I'd start up the game without this mod and test it out. If it is indeed the problem, I'll force this guy to get abducted again so he can get pregnant. After all, he is my Legacy sim and he WAS abducted by aliens and it's just NOT FAIR if he should miss out on this point! ;D

You didn't say how many other people were in the house. If there were 7 and a pregnant wife, or something, then he couldn't get pregnant because there would be too many people. Otherwise, it is odd. I've had tons of abductions and the adult males always come back with the little green spawn.
