The announcement that the new pack for The Sims 4 is Journey To Batuu, a Star Wars crossover, stirred a huge debate about the crossover of the two franchises. However, regardless of how you feel about the pack, it’s not the first time aliens have entered The Sims 4.

The alien life state was introduced back in Get To Work, the very first expansion in the franchise. As an occult they are very much lacking in comparison to vampires and Spellcasters, and as such have been largely forgotten about. With more aliens coming into the game we wanted to take a look at some of the best sci-fi builds to get us excited about aliens again.
