How to Find Aliens in The Sims 4
Collections are so fun to find and the sims 4 aliens collection is found by travelling in a space ship or on Planet Sixam!
You could finish this collection without any DLC but it’s much more fun with The Sims 4: Get to Work.
How to Find Aliens in The Sims 4
To work on the aliens collection you have two options that depend on what DLC you own. You can find these by exploring space in a space ship with the base game and by visiting Planet Sixam if you have Get to Work!
Explore Space (Base Game)
To explore space you’ll first need to purchase a spaceship and build it. You’ll look for the Steampunk Flyamajig in build mode for 5,000 simoleons.
You’ll be purchasing a platform for the ship to go on, you will need to spend another 1,000 simoleons to actually build the ship.
Once the ship is built you can click on it and choose explore space. Your sim will enter the ship and fly up and you’ll start getting action cards. Your choices on these action cards impacts what happens for your sims.
When you read through these you may find some are related to aliens and you’ll want to think about your answers. It will take a while to get all of the aliens this way, but it is possible!
If you add the expand cargo bay upgrade your sim will be able to bring more goodies home which means there’s a higher chance of them coming home with one of the 10 aliens.
Collect Them in Planet Sixam (Get to Work)
Planet Sixam is a secret world in the game and you are able to travel there by doing the install wormhole generator upgrade on your sim’s space ship.
Once this upgrade is installed you can choose to travel through wormhole and when you do your sim will get into the space ship and you’ll get an action card called through the wormhole and when you click beam down you’ll go to Sixam.
Once there you can walk around and look for small volcano shaped rock formations with green light coming from them. You’ll click on these and choose collect and you will find an alien!
After collection the alien will appear in your sim’s inventory and you can choose to keep it, or sell it. You’ll also get a notification that lets you know your sim found an alien!
