This was a fun theme. I had a little backstory in mind when I made my alien girl – which you can see in the screenshot of the gallery upload. Basically, I decided she had crash landed a spaceship here, and really only wanted to be able to fit in – but kept going about things the wrong way. She ends up seeing herself as more human than alien, which is why she avoids the alien “uniform” when out of disguise. Her disguise is far from flawless, too, because she’s trying so very hard to fit in, but just doesn’t know how.
Alien
Sim Creation: Create an alien Sim and their disguise. If you don’t have Get to Work, make an alien-looking Sim.
For the Build: Make them an alien-themed home base somewhere in the Sim world other than on Sixam. Use debug cheats to get to the alien plants and decor.
I absolutely adore her non-disguise outfits. I felt she would feel free to adopt her own style, and her cheerful smiles while I took her outfit screenshots only made me like her more.
Her disguise is adorably awkward. She tries so very hard to fit in, but just doesn’t really “get” the whole human fashion thing. I feel she actually spends very little time in disguise, just when she’s out and about in the world and feeling particularly out of place.
For this build, I had no clear idea when I started building… and then after a couple hours of building on stream and seriously not liking what I was coming up with, I bulldozed it after getting offline and just started over. I had a vague idea of observatory towers, and rounded green decks.. which I will say, I’m totally not great with rounded shapes. So I spent hours messing around with things until I had a shell I sorta liked. From there, decor and furnishings took me ages. I had to look up tutorials for the landscaping, because I really am terrible at it. I’m not sure the landscaping is any better after the tutorials, but maybe practice will help!

See you next time for a quick tour through my mini day five build!
I am a 47 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and five young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I am also in the EA Creator Network and an Ubisoft Partner, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!

Your Alien is very cute! Love the build too.
I had so much fun with the build and CAS for the alien theme. Glad you like it!
