Abducted with the cheap telescope?
rohina:
Seriously, I have had so many abductions that I totally doubt the percentage likelihood. I always buy the expensive telescope, though. It's just so much cooler.
dizzy:
Cheap scopes are excluded by GUID, so if you have a custom scope that will always have a danger of abduction (unless it's designed not to be dangerous).
Otherwise, the odds are 5 in 10000 (5/100 of 1% chance per Stargaze - Loop).

Thanks for the clarification. I guess these abductions on the cheap telescope I keep hearing about are just glitches. Unless there's a hacked cheap telescope that has the same rate of abductions as the expensive one. I've never heard of one though, but it's been a long time since I've looked.

How, exactly? I've been trying like crazy and so far the only abduction I've had was when I played the Curious family in Strangetown, which is set up for that ... I have my adult males with expensive telescopes spending every night between 11:00 and 3:00 just staring into space. They're practically maxxed out on logic and still I get nothing.
Is it just luck of the draw, or what? Is there a cheat I can use if I get desperate?
Is there something else I should be doing? Eating cookies first? Any help would be appreciated.
Also, disappointingly, both of the guys who had babies in Strangetown (one is already preggers when you start playing) had kids with normal human skintones. I so wanted a green baby, so I played the Smiths ... and they had a brown-skinned baby, even though she's skin tone #1 (white chick) and he's green. What gives? Not that I don't like the little tyke, but I want a green kid! Is the randomness supposed to happen or is that another benefit of my slow chip messing up the game? (Hoping to get upgraded any day now ...)
Motoki:
You can use the cheat boolprop testingcheatsenabled true and then hold shift and click on the telescope to get the option to be abducted if you really want to cheat one.
As far as the babies turning non green, I know there's an issue if you move the curious brothers while pregnant between neighborhoods they baby will be human. I've also heard some reports since NL that the Pollination Technician is not showing up as the father of abducted babies anymore, so this may also be a source of the problem. As for Johnny or his dad, a lot of those Maxis premade characters have messed up genetics.
