So, you want to inject a little extraterrestrial flair into your Sims 4 life? You’ve come to the right place! There are a few exciting avenues to explore if you want to make your Sim an alien. One way is to create an alien Sim directly in Create-A-Sim (CAS). Another way is to have your Sim get abducted and impregnated by aliens, resulting in an alien offspring. Lastly, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can transform an existing Sim into an alien using cheats and mods like MC Command Center (MCCC). Let’s dive into the specifics!

Creating an Alien in Create-A-Sim (CAS)

This is the most straightforward method. When starting a new game or adding a new Sim to your household, you’ll be greeted by the Create-A-Sim (CAS) screen.

Steps to Create an Alien in CAS

Access CAS: Click the “+” icon to add a new Sim to your household.
Select “Add Occult Sim”: You’ll see various occult options, including Aliens. Choose “Add Alien.”
Customize Your Alien: Now, the fun begins! You can customize your alien’s appearance, including:
- Skin Color: Choose from a wide range of otherworldly colors, from vibrant greens and blues to more muted tones.
- Eye Shape and Color: Give your alien unique and captivating eyes that stand out.
- Head Shape: Alter the head shape to create a truly alien look. Elongated skulls, large foreheads, and unusual contours are all possibilities.
- Clothing: Dress your alien in clothing that reflects their personality.
- Everyday Look vs. Disguise: Aliens in Sims 4 have two forms. A normal and a disguise (human look) that is used when the alien is around other Sims. This allows them to blend into the human world, but it also allows you to have fun creating the alien’s true form and their alter ego.

Alien Abduction and Offspring

This method involves a bit of luck and strategic gameplay. Your Sim needs to attract the attention of extraterrestrial visitors.

How to Increase the Chances of Alien Abduction

Use the Scientist Career: This career path significantly increases the likelihood of alien encounters.
Use the Satellite Dish: Purchase and place the satellite dish from build mode. Have your Sim use it to “Search for the Truth.” This will boost their chances of contact.
Go Out at Night: Aliens are more likely to abduct Sims who are outside at night.
Collect Space Rocks: Space rocks are more likely to attract aliens.

Pregnancy from Abduction

If a male Sim is abducted, there’s a chance they will return pregnant with an alien baby. The pregnancy will progress like a normal Sim pregnancy. The baby will have a chance of being a pure alien, a human or mixed alien.

Transforming a Sim into an Alien with Cheats and Mods

For the more advanced Simmer, cheats and mods offer powerful transformation options.

Using Cheats

Open the Cheat Console: Press Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard.
Enable Testing Cheats: Type testingcheats true and press Enter.
Enable Full Edit Mode: Type cas.fulleditmode and press Enter.
Modify in CAS: Shift+Click on the Sim you want to transform and select “Modify in CAS.”
Change to Alien: In CAS, you can now change the Sim’s species to Alien and customize their appearance as described in the Create-A-Sim section.

Using Mods (MCCC)

MC Command Center (MCCC) is a popular mod that offers extensive control over your Sims game.

Download and Install MCCC: Find MCCC online (search “MC Command Center Sims 4”) and follow the installation instructions.
Click on the Sim: In live mode, click on the Sim you want to transform.
Access MCCC Commands: Navigate to MCCC > Sim Commands > Occult Commands > Convert to Alien.
Customize: After converting, you can use MCCC or the cas.fulleditmode cheat to fine-tune their appearance.
