Aliens were originally introduced in the Sims 2 and have since been added toThe Sims 4. In order to get the alien occult in The Sims 4, you must have the Get To Workexpansion pack. They have both a human form, which usually looks like a typical Sim, and an alien form, which usually looks otherworldly.

The alien occult, while interesting, is missing a lot of content. They don’t have a skill tree or anything particularly fantastical about them other than being able to transmute collectibles and a few mind tricks. So if you are looking for some mods to spice up the alien occult, we have compiled a list of them!

8Occult Milestone

In Rolwen’s milestone pack, there are milestones available for every occult, but in order to have all of them available, you will need every pack that has an occult included. Milestones track significant events in your Sim’s life and can give them new interactions as well as random moods.

While the occults have some milestones, they don’t have many, so Rowlen decided to create a mod that added more importance to certain events that could happen surrounding the alien occult. Milestones such as erasing someone’s memory or discovering aliens are real are now available through this mod.

7Alien Landing Zone Lot Trait

If you were hoping for your Sim to meet some aliens, or trying to get your alien to befriend other aliens and are having a hard time trying to, this mod is just for you. Now you can make friends with aliens until they decide to randomly erase your Sims' memory.

This lot trait will specifically draw in aliens. Your Sim will also receive a certain buff upon entering this lot, depending on whether or not they are an alien and have certain traits. Aliens will arrive without their disguises on, so beware!

6Get To Work- Aliens Reloaded

Onemorekayaker’s mod is for those who love aliens and want more gameplay available. There is a lot of missing potential for aliens, and this mod really adds a lot to this occult. This mod also heightens aliens' ability to keep their secret, so it will be harder to find aliens.

Included in this mod are many new interactions for aliens and alien-human hybrids, new abilities, new alien lore, new brain power motives, and more! This mod has a lot to discover and new gameplay for aliens.

5Plumbob’s Stellar Stuff

There are some pretty basic options available in CAS for aliens, but there isn’t much. If you have been wanting to give your alien a bit more of a space-themed outfit or even some more furniture, this mod provides just that.

In The Plumbob Tea Society’s mod you’re able to find new options for hair, jewelry, nails, furniture, and all sorts of clothes, and they are all galaxy-like. What’s nice about this mod is you can either pick and choose the content you would like to download, or get it all in one download.

4Stealthy Aliens

Aliens can be easily discovered while they are out interacting with other Sims, which can be a little frustrating if you don’t want your Sim to be discovered. One of the easiest ways for aliens to be found out is when they feel a certain emotion too intensely, and they emit an aura indicating their feelings.

If you would rather the alien secret be more well-kept in your play-through, this mod prevents aliens from emitting an aura when they are feeling something quite strongly. Now you can keep your aliens undercover while they are out.

3Polite Aliens

Playing with aliens can be very fun since they have special abilities that normal Sims do not have. These include being able to empathize with Sims, analyze Sims' emotions, and wipe the memory of Sims.

These abilities can be rather fun to use, until your alien or an alien your Sims is trying to build a relationship with alien suddenly wipes their memory. With Kuttoe’s Polite Aliens mod, it will prevent aliens from autonomously using their abilities, which means only you will be able to control when these abilities are used.

2Alien Bloodlines

As mentioned before, the alien content is lacking compared to theother occultsthat are in The Sims 4. There isn’t anything customizable or buildable with aliens, where werewolves and aliens have skill trees, and spell casters have bloodlines.

With the Alien Bloodlines mod, though, Baniduhaine has added bloodlines to aliens. This mod, depending on your generation of aliens and their bloodlines, will affect how your Sim builds skills, their career performance, and some of their needs. This will make playing multiple generations of aliens more unique and worthwhile as the bloodlines change and progress.

1Aliens Can Consume Transmutable Objects

Now this mod is a little more fun and adds just a little extra detail to the aliens. Transmutable objects are the metals, crystals, and elements you can findaround the different worlds. Aliens can transmute them, which can either bring up their value or drop it.

With this mod, though, aliens can consume transmutable objects! Simply collect the item, find it in your alien’s inventory and eat it! Eating them will restore their brain power or energy to full. It’s time to empty your inventory full of random metals.
