Woo! Honestly, editing Enhanced Aliens was the main cause of the delay since I wanted a compatible version, but eventually it was done. I'll add a note now, but just confirmed the Nyx_Compatible version should work with both my alternate-unlock-criteria version and GOOD_BOYgoneBAD's version of the mod.

So I have a weird problem. I have a sim whose a hybrid spellcaster and alien (her mother is a spellcaster who got abducted and pregnant) and for some reason, her children's bloodline is only growing stronger, despite the fact that I know the other parent was neither spellcaster nor alien. Does this sound like a mod conflict, or did I just biff something up?

Ah, other than that, these bloodline mods are all fantastic, thank you for them.

What bloodline do you mean they were born with? Strong Alien Bloodline? The only explanation I can see for that would be if the parent from the abduction already had an Alien Bloodline?

In the basegame, Aliens can't get Spellcaster bloodlines, for the record. You'd need an external mod to change that, unfortunately. I believe TwelfthDoctor1 had one.

No, let me clarify--I have all the packs except for some kits, Batuu, and the new Wedding pack--I definitely have realm of magic. The sim who got abducted was a spellcaster, I have a mod that allows hybrids, so that baby was a spellcaster and an alien, who grew up and had several children of her own, all of whom had strong bloodlines in both spellcaster and alien bloodlines.

So, I think what happened is I underestimated how... robust the genes are for the bloodlines? Usually, my occults might have one generation that passes on the lifestate and then it abruptly dies off in the family. This was probably just a misunderstanding on my part, so you can just ignore me.

I'm not sure I understand. One parent is enough for the bloodlines.

For example I have a little sim who is the daughter of a spellcaster plantsim who has a weak magic bloodline and a weak plant bloodline, and a mermaid who has a weak mermaid bloodline. The little one has all three strong bloodlines.

Only now just realizing I think I used that figure of speech wrong lol, is it supposed to be spaguetti? o well I think noodles fits the description. But yeah, honestly, I made a lot of these bloodlines ages ago when I was a noob and neglected to label literally anything before exporting from mod constructor... Technically nothing has broken so far, but the more time that went by and the more I learned, the more I started to think maintaining any of these mods if they ever did break was gonna be an absolute nightmare... so yeah lol, had to eventually fix the noodle code. >.<

Are you going to update this for the infant update? Love these mods and I can't play aliens without them.

Thank you for the updates on all of these. They make the occults much more interesting.

Hello! I had a question. In terms of the new updates you added in June, am I able to download the Enhanced Aliens Edit version if I don't have the other Enhanced Aliens mod? I'm having trouble understanding the difference between that one and the other new update, and which one I should download.

If you don't have Enhanced Aliens, since it's a multiplier there should be no errors, but to get the Energy benefits you need the regular one. The Enhanced Aliens one affects only Brain Power (not Energy), which is a custom need there. So I would recommend you get the regular one.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Is the Enhanced Alien version the same as the Nyx Compatible version? The one I was using was the Nyx Compatible version, but it is listed as "OLD", so should I now be using the Enhanced Alien version instead?

I'm getting Weak Alien Bloodlines on Sims born to CAS-made sims, no aliens in their ancestry at all. I could use it for storytelling except that it seems to be all babies.

Requests? Yes! See my journal entry for palette options! Shameless plugging of my Sim sites: (TS2) · TS4

baniduhaine_AlienBloodlines_EnhancedAliensEdit.package, though looking at the date modified, it's not the newest one, it's the 4/26/2023 one. Maybe I just need to download the updated version.

Okay. To confirm, you use Nyx's Enhanced Aliens as well as this mod? Because if you don't, it will be trying to insert a trait inheritance for a parent trait that doesn't exist, which can make it apply to every newborn instead of just the ones whose parents meet the test conditions. If you don't, then use the regular AlienBloodlines.

I feel rather silly now. I could have sworn I had it installed, and you know what? I apparently did not. That would do it. Thanks for helping me figure out where the weirdness began.
