Alien pregnancies: is there a chance of impregnation not happening?
Regina:
You're right, I didn't say. LOL
There were only four others, so plenty of room for an alien baby.
I know I can be pretty lame and overlook things but if I'd overlooked that one I would've had to make fun of myself here! ;D
Regina:
Okey-dokey! I just did a bit of testing. I'd removed the Multiple Pollination Technician mod, then went into Strangetown and had Ajay Loner abducted. (I changed his aspiration to Knowledge beforehand so he wouldn't be too traumatized.)
When he came back from the alien ship, there was no lullabye music (I turned my speakers up full blast so I wouldn't miss it). So, I checked him in SimPE and he is now pregnant (invisible).
I also gave him three logic skills so we could get through the day in meditation mode and here's something new I noticed: his aspiration meter did not go down while meditating! I rarely used meditation before because every time I did my sims would nearly go into aspiration failure. Hmmm. Like my daughter says, a way to fix those vampires who just won't stay in bed until sundown?

I noticed the same thing last night while I was playing around with the handhelds in my test neighborhood. I would have my Sims play for about 6 hours on the handhelds, force their wants to reroll, and then meditate until 4PM when relationship normalization occurs. I don't know if this a permanent change or an unintended side effect of another change, but I will definitely be taking full advantage of it when a non-perma plat Sim in my Legacy family is getting close to dying!
Regina:
Gynarchy, I hear you on that one! Many people recommended having your sims meditate through pregnancy. I never did because their aspiration meters went down so much. I'd keep them doing what they wanted as much as possible and either put them to bed for naps in addition to a good night's sleep or in a worst-case scenario have them use the Eclectic Energizer. That thing's a treat for pregnant sims! Some aren't so bad, but when Alistair was pregnant with his alien he lost motives super fast. Funny thing, his wife who has a very similar personality, was a breeze during both pregnancies. I never used the energizer on her at all and he was in it nearly all the time.

Okey-dokey! And thanks so much! I'm thinking they were supposed to get pregnant every time. And yeah--weirdness on that teen getting pregnant! Did the poor fellow make it through college with a baby? And did his child come home with him okay from college?
I had to use a teleporter (merola's painting) to get the baby back to his parents' house, then he just left college as usual and I put him back in his parents' house. Thankfully, the painting kept all the family tree info secure so I didn't have to use SimPE to fix up any relationships. He is now married and in his own place, and she is now a toddler. But she didn't age at all while they were in the dorm, so his first day back at 6 pm he had to help her with her birthday.
