Alien Sims have a pretty cool trick in The Sims 4 because they can hide their alien appearance whenever they want. They don’t have to look human, but many choose to so they can keep their real identity a secret.
Sometimes, when a Sim finds out their partner is an alien, they don’t take it well and might even end the relationship. Most normal Sims aren’t big fans of aliens who show their true form.
That’s why a lot of alien Sims just look human most of the time.
Here are a few tips that can help you find alien Sims more easily.
Spotting Aliens in Disguise in The Sims 4
Alien Sims in The Sims 4 are pretty good at hiding, but they’re not perfect. Sometimes, there are little clues that give them away.
Here’s what to look for:
1. Unusual Traits: Keep an eye out for traits that seem a bit strange or non-human.
2. Glitches on Skin: Their disguise might not cover everything perfectly. You might notice small glitches on their skin.
3. Glowing Aura: When alien Sims get super emotional, like really happy or flirty, they might start glowing. The color of the glow matches their mood, so watch out for green, pink, yellow, and so on.
Just get them into a “Very [X] Mood” and see if they start glowing in that color. That’s a sure sign you’ve got an alien on your hands!
Science Career Advantage
If your Sim is into science, they’ve got a good shot at bumping into aliens in disguise. Keep an eye out and try to spot them!
In the game, aliens tend to abduct scientists more often.
⇒ Quick Tip:
- To stop aliens from abducting your Sims, lock those doors tight or reset your Sims before the aliens come knocking.
Woohoo Revelations
If you’re curious whether a Sim is an alien, one surefire way to find out is by woohooing with them.
After the deed is done, aliens reveal their true colors (pun intended).
X-Ray Machine Trick:
For Sims on the Doctor career path, utilizing the X-Ray machine is a handy trick.
Scan the Sims you suspect might be aliens. They might try to fool you, but they can’t trick the machine.
Use the Secret Handshake
Having an alien Sim opens up a cool opportunity: performing a secret handshake with other alien Sims. It’s a nifty way to spot aliens in disguise.
When there’s an alien nearby, you’ll notice the secret handshake interaction pop up.
⇒ Fun Fact:
- If a Sim uncovers another Sim’s alien identity, the alien can wipe that Sim’s memory clean. After that, they can just carry on pretending to be a regular Sim.
Happy Simming!
