I like the facial structure, but I have some questions about your note:
If I would use this one as a replacement, it would pass on the green XM Sims hair (if downloaded) or - if I don't have that hair - I would end up with an alien which has any of the custom hairstyles I have? Meaning that if I am unlucky I have an alien that passes on blond dreadlocks or some other custom hair that I have been too lazy to delete? Could I modify the file, so that it has black hair as default again?
Did you make the alien skin/eyes genetically LESS dominant as they currently are? I currently have one alien pregnant (Chloes Singles) and the father has custom skin/custom eyes. I would be quite happy to hear that the alien skin/eyes are dominant even towards custom genetics, because I would like them to appear in the children. Since I have not replaced Pollination Tech (yet), I don't see abduction as an option to keep or increase the alien population.

I don't believe it is possible to make the PT's skin or eyes "less dominant". The PT has homozygous, un-binned custom alleles for skin and eyes, whether you use a default replacement or not.
If Chloe Singles isn't genetically borked, she should have one skin allele from the PT (green) and one from her normal father (S1, S2, S3, or S4). She displays green skin because the PT has two alleles for the custom green skin. Her child has a 50% chance of receiving a green skin allele from Chloe, or the other normal skin allele, which originated from Chloe's normal sim father. If Chloe's breeding partner is a CAS sim with un-binned, custom skin, then he also has two alleles for his custom skin, and that is all he can pass to his children. Because Chloe's partner is homozygous, his custom skin is what will show on the child, even if the child should receive one alien skin allele from Chloe.
Depending on the combination of EPs you have, this may vary. EAxis have changed the rules from time to time. This is just what happens in my game running all EPs up to Seasons.
Basically, you can never count on the offspring of aliens to show green, as all alien sims born into the game are really only half-breeds.

I don't know if they were truly bred in-game, but from what I have seen, none of the Maxis sims carry the genetics of their parents. Chloe and Lola have alien genetics on both sides. It's like Lilith and Angela (they have genetically red hair despite Mary-Sue being black haired). I think the only one who carries the genetics of mother and father is Cassandra Goth.
seelindarun:
Ah, so you checked Chloe and she is homozygous for her alien skin? Then, if her breeding partner is also homozygous for his (un-binned) custom skin, their child has a 50% chance of showing either skin. However, that child is obviously going to be heterozygous, no matter what it shows, so things get a bit uncertain as you go on down the generations.
