Oh, bugger....alien issues!

[simtarts]

So....

Not to be too spoilery, but SOMEONE in the Asylum House was abducted by aliens and impregnated as a result of said abduction. Baby was just born, and it has ALL NORMAL genes! I reloaded the lot and re-inacted the labor again, and still, all normal genes, nothing alien at all.

I'm not sure if it's the PT replacement I'm using that's causing the problem, or the hacked telescope. The thing is, I don't remember where the hacked telescope came from, it's just called "telescope_x10" in my downloads folder. The PT replacement is the fixed version of stakeit_uk's set. The PT replacement worked when I tested it in game a while ago, but that was via hacks and not through a real (or hacked) abduction.

Rar, hopefully I can fix this somehow. :/

Aside from that, I'm having a weird week, emotionally speaking. I don't usually post about personal stuff here, though, so I guess I won't start now, heh. *is mysterious*

Are you using the uber!hood? Because there is a fix that you need to do for multiple-PTs to work here (http://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/29848.html).

Oh no, I am pretty sure my computer could not handle the uber-hood. But thanks!

I don't think the telescope would affect genetics. It's gotta be the pt set, try with another family by forcing an abduction and see if the result is the same.

The sim is giving birth to a clone of himself even if I swap out PT sets. :/ It's not that huge of a deal, but I don't want it to happen again in the future. An abduction can be forced by boolprop, right?

Yes, you would just enable testing cheats and then shift click on the telescope.

That's what I thought - I've just never tried it. I'll test around with it later to see if I can get to the bottom of what happened.

Clone babies tend to happen when the second parent, for whatever reason, has no Sim DNA file. If you have SimPE, are the new PTs showing up alright in that neighbourhood's Sim Description list?

I did not check in SimPE (I'm on a mac), but I think that the DNA was not showing up. Anyway, I fixed the problem - it was caused by a hack that allowed for abducted females to get pregnant, too.
