Default No alien abduction
I need a "no alien abduction" hack for my medieval nbh I know there is a "stolen by fairies" mod, but I'd prefer them to not be abducted at all. It just doesn't suit in this nbh. And I want to be able to use a telescope without being nervous about that, haha.

Technically telescopes weren't invented then, so you could just not use them.

Yes, but there are medieval telescopes that look like trees, rocks, medieval statures etc. I just have the stolen by fairies. I can only find one for sims 4.

There were no telescopes back then? I didn't know that lol I knew pianos didn't exist so I removed them from all gwrych lots I use (as well as the stealth computers, TVs and phones), but didn't know about telescopes. I bet violins didn't exist either. Whatever, ignorance is bliss! They look old enough

Thank you so much!
I'll justify using telescopes in my noble and royal families with that they got them from the elves who use secret elvish technology XD

I looked it up out of curiousity. The first telescope was invented in the 1600s.

in shipped version, just the "expensive" telescope has a chance of abduction. the "cheep" telescope; no abduction at all.

That's helpful. Just don't use the expensive one.

This was only true until Freetime completely changed the way abduction works. If you have Freetime, you can get abducted with any telescope.

Quote: Originally posted by sims.fandom.com
In FreeTime, all telescope actions carry a chance of alien abduction, but the top aspiration benefit for the Knowledge aspiration, Summon Aliens, allows a Sim to create a spotlight with a flashlight and telescope, which greatly increases the chance of abduction. This benefit can be used with the Astrowonder telescope as well as with the Farstar e3. If the Special Event Camera is enabled, the cutscene will play no matter which telescope is used. However, if the Special Event Camera is disabled, a Sim abducted while using this benefit with the Astrowonder will simply vanish, as the Astrowonder has no abduction-specific animations.

realized over the weekend:: just player directed abduction with the "cheep" telescope.

about custom telescopes; I take all of them are based on either of the shipped version telescopes. at least with the interactions and BCONs/BHAVs.
