Loading... The Men Only Family

Your founder's widowed father was recently abducted by aliens. Three hours later, the news runs a story about a crashed alien craft. Your founder quickly comes to terms with the fact that their father is dead. Now, your founder is obessed with aliens and their place in the universe. Your founder has sworn that they will have the chance to do what their father couldn't: carry alien spawn and raise them like his own.

The point of this challenge is to create a 4 generation family of only males. The main way to breed is of course, alien abtuction. This is a shorter, male only legacy.

:alarm: ----------- Notice
With the help of a simple mod, this challenge can be played with females as the main characters.

Wow, I really like this challenge!
I'm going to try it so I can get some Aliens in some of my Alien-less neighbourhoods :)

One question though, how many seconds should you try the telescope before retrying? I haven't been abducted yet, so :P

Also, what do you mean by cheesecake? Does eating cheesecake increase the chance of twins? (AWESOME if that's true!). Because I'm still new to used mods/hacks, so I don't know if I'll be able to figure it out.

And why -5 points for each completely alien child?

Also, what is a PT and how do you get a Grilled Cheese aspiration?

You have to use the telescope at night, usually all night, in order to get abducted. There are a few mods that will adjust the odds of getting abducted, if you want to search for those.

Cheesecake comes with with OFB. If your sim eats it before doing a "try for baby" interaction, it will enable you to have twins. There are also several different mods/hacks/cheat codes that will allow this.

PT stands for Pollination Technician ... that is the alien supplied by the game that impregnates your sims when they get abducted.

The grilled cheese aspiration comes with Nightlife. You can set it by using the ReNuYuSenso Orb when your sim is in green or red aspriation.

Doesn't the sim have to eat it when pregnant, not before trying for a baby? That's how I've always used it....

Thanks katalina and lauratje :)

From what I'm hearing, it's during pregnancy, but I'll try both :)

I find it ironic that after I asked about the cheesecake, I got my first twins (both boys, +30 for me!) without trying the cheesecake yet :P

it's possible... I don't have OFB, I'm just going on the few times I've played around with it at other people's houses.

Sounds epic! Gonna have to try this :D

By the way... Can an elder male get preggers with the telescope, or is that for adults only?

Adults only. Elders cannot get pregnant/give birth whether they're male or female.

In the bonus points, where you say combine an alien child with another species, do you mean it grows up and marries another species or the father of said child has managed to become or is one of those other species????

Your founder should already be in level 3-5 of their job, so I don't really think that a motherlode is needed. Make sure all of your teens have jobs. All you really need in a house is a fridge, a single bed, a counter, a tub, a toilet, a telescope, and a bookcase. That is easily built with around 3,000 simoleans.


In the bonus points, where you say combine an alien child with another species, do you mean it grows up and marries another species or the father of said child has managed to become or is one of those other species????

Erm... here's an example. Your founder has a kid named Bobby. When Bobby grows up, he gets bitten by vampire. Done, bonus points awarded. :p Hope that lame example actually helps.

Hi, nice to meet you my name is Blossom. Thus, I am a girl. I am planning to edit this challenge, getting rid all of the handicaps and adding new (less stupid) ones. And, with a simple mod, this challenge can be played with females as well. ;)
