This is an example of a townie that I discovered in game to be an Alien with his human disguise on the left, and his true Alien form on the right. Although, I have found myself overly suspicious of game generated townies because there’s a decent chance he or she may be an Alien.

This is a new feature for Aliens with The Sims 4 and one that I wholeheartedly embrace.

Possibly the coolest feature of Aliens is the ability for them to disguise themselves as Earth-bound Sims when out among the general public. If all of that is just a little too, well, Alien for you, thanks to a free update, you can make your Alien try to appear as human as possible by giving them hair, human eyes and makeup as well as clothes. They can have grey, blue, turquoise or purple eyes reminiscent of a galaxy far, far, away which is truly unique! In addition to the standard green-hued Aliens of yore, your other-worldly Sims can now have a variety of skins tones ranging from palest white-blue to vibrant greens and rich purples. You can customize your Alien Sim further by giving him or her unique make-up and tattoos that really make them stand out from the crowd.Īnother interesting feature are the eyes that are unique to Alien Sims. Here I’ll highlight the new features and game play that you can access while playing as an Alien. Now, Aliens are back and better than ever in The Sims 4. With The Sims 3, Aliens were given a little more substance with alien-specific social interaction as well as that nifty space-ship vehicle they could zoom around in.

In each iteration of The Sims franchise, Aliens have been improved upon in both appearance and playability. In The Sims 2, Aliens were referred to as Pollination Technicians and didn’t offer much more in terms of interactions, but the novelty of possibly getting abducted and the concept of male pregnancy was enough for the time. With the release of the first expansion pack for The Sims 4, Get To Work, came the first “supernatural” life state – Aliens! Aliens have been a part of the Sims games since The Sims 2 and have been a long-time favorite of Simmers of all ages.
