Will some fiddling you kind of can. I did it accidentally once, not with an alien, but twins with two different fathers. My sim Keelin got pregnant from an affair and I used the insiminator to end the pregnancy and immediately get her pregnant with her husband instead. I was expecting she'd have just one baby with her husband as the father, but she had two, one with the husband, one with the lover. They were born at the same time, but as two singles rather than twins. As in the birth/naming sequence ran twice. I believe that as long as you end and restart the pregnancy within the same sim hour with the insiminator's reproductive controller that you could make the alien/human twins happen.
It doesn't work with other mods, the sim blender, for example seems to clear the pregnancy right away and not leave the "extra" hanging around.

@TychoH No need to take it out, just unban her. It sets a few sims as auto-banned, it's just a click to set them to allowed.

You can also click at Visitor Controller and "allow annoying"
For my point , about "why banning them in he first place?" is I just disslke them, Agnes and Charlatan mostly, but yes there is another ways to ban them, and the darn Humble, what I hate
The reason I will not personnally get rid of Visitor Controiller is the other features of it. (Secret society members not showing their outfits IS a feature to me it is supposed to be secret anyway No secret if anyone with lamasuit is so obvious

I feel like I'm in the minority because I like Crumplebottom. It's funny when she beats people up with her purse. I even got a custom purse from SimWardrobe so my own Sims can beat people up. Amusingly, it increases reputation.

I also like Crumplebottom, and unblock her when I remember to. I do wish VC creators had thought to make more of their features optional. I imagine most people do like the auto-ban, but manually unbanning for each lot for those of us who don't like it is a lot. And the side-features like secret society outfits, work outfits and whatnot. I've looked at it trying to figure out how to remove certain features, and it's not the easiest. Would have been great if they thought to include a BCON toggle or have two versions or something But ah well, one day I will learn enough to figure out how to adapt it to my preference.

@gummilutt - if you ever figure out how to fix the work uniform/secret society outfit thing could you write a tutorial on it?

I like crumplebottom as well! XD The first time I saw her climb out of the wishing well after a failed wish, I laughed my ass off No I don't like her, I love her! Such a funny addition. Typical sims.

Guessing it's not the kind of edit that is easily made into a tutorial, but if it's suitable then sure But will share my version of it either way, since I know it bothers lots of people.

Because some of us hate them. It's not like it doesn't have options.

Nope, not doable. SimsPE won't work on my machine. I've asked for and received help from the best this site has to offer; it's just a no go.

I am not sure if red flashing sims relate to videocards, and luckily it only happened to me around five times, but heck, does that scare me ****less...

Have you tried turning off your antivirus while using it? If I don't do it, I can't use the "build dxt" feature when making recolors. It also stops me from taking snapshots in the game.

A few months ago, I decided to make a new neighborhood and I thought of making a city.
Well, mission failed, and I ended up making a sprawling mountainous village and a seaside village, both with houses that are a good distance from each other. I'm definitely not a city person even in-game...
Also, not necessarily about The Sims, but I was a bit confused by the new layout of the Downloads pages and my brain wouldn't process it for a while. Silly me.

I can't even get to that point. The SimsPE won't recognize my game. This is an old problem and several people have tried their best, but there are some windows 10s that just won't work with that program. Mine seems to be one of them. That's actually okay. I'm not a computer person and I don't have the patience or the know how to continually try to get something so obstinate to work.

Oh, bummer. Guess that's yet another reason for me to avoid anything higher than Windows 7 for as long as possible.

Less a random thought, more a random observation:
I'm currently on a cruise ship (Norwegian 'Escape') and their onboard internet has all of modthesims.info blocked as 'porn'. (It literally says NCL - Content Blocked: Porn.) I only loaded it by putting up a VPN.

And meanwhile, up here in Canada, some of the big telecoms are asking the CRTC to initiate an internet censorship to combat "piracy." Or so they say. Many of these telecoms also own television and radio stations. I doubt they'll be happy until they can package up the internet and sell it in little bundles. Want to visit YouTube? Add another 4.99 to your bill.
The current head of the CRTC used to be an executive for one of the telecoms, too. It's inevitable.

Something about your post made me decide to try Mamba City sims (where Chris Hatch's stuff lives now). It loads no problem.

I'll see your 'meanwhile' and raise you one: Olympics overage (via NBC) in the US is so crap (with an incredibly high proportion of commercials, especially in the NBC Sports app), that I gave up and set my VPN to Toronto so I could watch CBC's coverage instead.

@Rosebine My desktop looks just like yours! My husband is appalled.
But mine's alphabetized, because there's an automatic function for that, so I can find things. D is for DnD and Drivers . . . wonder what Drivers those are, this computer or some other computer's? (And it's MY fault my desktop is messy when it gets used for backup? Well, okay, yeah, 90% of it is my stuff.)
