That said, I am MORE than happy to test this for you! It will take a while, though... my only adult recently turned Elder, so I have to wait for his firstborn son to grow out of Teen.

Hostel, anmaku: Thanks for the kind words

Proxian_girl, it works too for teens. I haven't tested children yet; I didn't enable them to get abducted, but I don't know for sure if they can be abducted at all. But teens will surely work

Well, yeah, but I was hoping for an alien pregnancy. I don't think Teens are allowed to WooHoo, let alone get pregnant, without hacks...

YES! It shows in Buy Mode! That's good enough for me!

I think kids can´t get abducted. At least it didn´t work with the other hacked expensive telescope, that used to be here.

Thanks a lot for yours, as I now can decide, when my sims will get abducted and still use the expensive telescope. If anybody knows a way to let kids be abducted, please tell me. I want to have Samantha Mulder (from the X-files) abducted as a child.

@ abel1980:

You're right, of course... I forgot that males come back pregnant, and though I use InTeenimater for teen pregnancies, I really wouldn't want to see a pregnant child. So I'll refrain from enabling children to get abducted.

But you can still use the ingame's cheat: Open the cheat window by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-C, enter "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" in the neighborhood view, load the lot, select the sim you want to get abducted, then SHIFT-leftclick on the telescope. You then should see the option "*Get abducted".

I just made two sim guys, a house, and a neighborhood, so I should be getting back to you in a couple of hours on whether or not my test worked out okay!

Can't wait for the result Since it's already 7:45pm where I live and I've spent the last days deep in Sim-hacking, I'll take an evening off and watch good ol' boring TV *laughs* But I also sent you the re-worked TeenStar PC which I created from scratch to make it base game-compatible. Would you be so kind to test this one also and PM back which options are available to you? This would help me in discovering possible faults before I go public with it. It comes in a handy zip. Thanks in advance!

Kein Problem! (that's probably the only German I can speak reliably) Go ahead and watch your TV! The Abductor 100 worked beautifully-- and I'm uploading some screencaps of the event to photobucket so I can provide evidence!

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i...itingaliens.jpg -- Here's my brave little sim Allen going out to be alien bait in his underwear.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i...egacy/score.jpg -- Here are the aliens.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i...egacy/irony.jpg -- And now Allen can't wait to do it again!



EDIT: I had some trouble getting the resulting baby to grow up into a toddler and finally had to resort to a cheat to do so. I've never had any trouble getting babies to toddlerhood before, so I think the telescope might be to blame.

There are no abduction animations for children.

Unless your using a hack, the only sims that will come back pregnant are adult males. Squinge has a hack that let's adult females get pregnant when abducted, and I have the one that lets teens male or female get pregnant. Since children can't get abducted anyway it should be ok for them to use the telescope.

It's probably not the telescope. Besides it's the spaceship that contains the code for alien pregnancy, not the telescope. And probably if there was a problem with the telescope it would have showed up before the baby was born. I've had this problem before myself, and have never been able to figure what causes it.

PS - Great job on this CtfG.

*sigh of relief* I was starting to think maybe The Sims 2 just didn't like me. *buys back the telescope and gets Allen's hubby Aidan pregnant* ^.^

Smonaff, thanks for the compliment!

Proxian_girl, as I PM'ed you, I had the same problem back in the times when I had only the original game. Back then it was a human baby that didn't want to age, and it took about 18 hours of patient waiting until the age process finally started. I'm sure it was a problem with the original TS2. Maybe the first patch ( thesims2_update.exe ) will fix that. Or simply use the birthday cake. This will always work. (BTW: cool pics! )

It doesn't seem to work in my game. It shows up fine and works as a telescope but I still can't get abducted. Is there something else special you have to do?

No, nothing special that I can think of right now. Use the "Abducter 100", place it outdoors (for testing on a level higher than ground floor) and start "Stargazing" at or shortly after 7pm. Adults and teens will get almost immediately abducted then.

I have all the EPs and SPs, and it doesn't show up

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Where could I find it?

First, please make sure that the extracted .package file is stored in folder given in the Readme file.
Second, you will find the telescope in Buy mode, "Hobby - Knowledge".
Third, if it still does not show up, check this link: Custom content not showing up (all / some / none)

Totally Love this one. I am still waiting for the Pets version of Inteenimator. But this worked really great, My guy was immediatly abducted. Had same problem with babies, used birthday cake 2 times to get one kid to grow up. Love the alien green color of the Abductor.
