Be nice to have some more stuff in the War Room about how things really work. It was a bit sad to see there's been nothing new there for so long.
Are peasants not allowed to start topics in the War Room? I have never sought to try it. Well, I just checked, apparently I could not start a new topic there if I wanted to, but I could start a poll. Very strange...
When the TJ's 'higher odds' hacks were hosted here, I am almost certain he stated in the description that abduction odds do not increase with time in a unmodified game, but that his mod made it so that they did.

That's why I also had a gender equality mod. Both, pixel men and pixel women got pregnant.
I hope that mod is also easy to re-find. I'm hoping it was TJ's. I better go check.
The one I have been using for a long time is by Smonaff at MTS2. It seems reasonably stable and apparently plays nicely with TJ's hack.
Zazazu:
I usually just tombstone an alien pregnancy after a female is abducted, because I don't want same-sex pregnancy as a general rule. It's a pretty rare occurrence.
As for abduction odds, the same post I read way back when saying that start-stopping viewing was the key to abduction also said that it always happens in the first 15 minutes of stargazing. This is patently untrue, as both my recent abductions have been after at least two hours of uninterrupted searching.

I also read almost everywhere that abductions don't go on after 3 AM. I had people abducted as late as 5 AM. If they were teens, they had to race to the bus, and they usually were in pretty bad shape need-wise.
MadameUgly:
I've had early morning (2 am ish) abductions before, too. I also had a rash of abductions of sims that were just young enough to still get preg (adult males 5 days from elder?--I think those were just coincidence, but it was weird).
Is there any truth to the rumor that having more than one sim stargaze at the same time will increase odds of abduction?
And (one last question) anyone have a male plant sim abducted and get impregnated? I'm trying for an alien/plant hybrid and am trying to resist just using the tombstone of life and death to do it.

I don't like same sex pregnancy among sims either, but for me the alien pregnancy for males is different. It is alien, after all, and hilarious.

I have had early morning abductions also, but the stargazing in those instances started well before 3 AM as I recall.

I'm glad I thought of that! But almost embarrassed that I had not thought of it before. Now I have something new to try. Can plantsims even get pregnant by 'normal' methods?
