The Sims 2 Message Board  

Hey, is it true that sims with high interest in sci-fi are more likely to be abducted by aliens while using the telescope?

And maybe this is a no-brainer - but how do you make them *more* interested?? Cos i know they can read magazines, but my idiot sim keeps picking up the mag, reading it for 2 seconds, then putting it down again!

He isnt reading maybe because he has his Fun bar all the way up, or some other need is all the way down and he isn't any mood. I would check his needs, maybe do a couple of wants and then try again after that.

And with the sci-fi thing, im not sure. But as a rough guess, I would probably say it is not true.

Ok, thanks for the help - my sim's reading, finally!

Just for the record, his sci-fi interest is all the way up now and he's been stargazing a few nights in a row, and the damn aliens still aren't taking the bait. So probably there isn't a connection.

IT takes time.


If you wanted to cheat to get abducted, just do Control, Shift, C, to open the cheat box. then type in:
boolprop testingcheatsenabled true


Go over to the telescope, Shift+click it, and then click on get abducted.


However, this cheat can sometimes screw up your game...


I hope I helped!
