MC Occult overrides the EA settings on valid genders for pollination - it enables ladies to be pollinated by default and also prevents anyone who has a fertility setting that doesn't match their sex from being pollinated at all - including sims you might've neutered (this can't be disabled, you'd need to either remove the sim's custom gender trait or remove MC Occult). I've also had someone say that they've had MC Woohoo prevent guys from being able to be pollinated, but I believe this was changed in a later update and now works again (I don't use that module so can't confirm either way.)

If you'd like to increase the chances of alien abduction and pollination, you can use this mod's Mysterious Skies lot challenge on your residential lot - it does keep the chances of pollination at 25% per abduction, but it massively increases the odds of getting abducted to about 50% per sim, per night, including visitors on your lot. I don't think MCCC overrides Mysterious Skies, but haven't done a lot of testing there.

Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you! Also, is it okay to use this mod with Kuttoe's Home Regions, or will its tweaks to alien spawning be a problem?

The default setting of Home Regions will effectively prevent aliens from generating at all in game unless a sim is in the Scientist career, makes it to Sixam, or has Get Together and attends alien bar night. I'd strongly recommend at least enabling disguised Alien walkbys if you plan on using the Conspiracist Hub at all. There should be a toggle, as of the 8th of this month.

I've used Home Regions for a long time and was still seeing plenty of "generated NPC for Walkby_DisguisedAlien" in my MCCC logs (while not playing a scientist) well before the toggle got added? I definitely intended to leave them on, so it sounds like it won't be a problem, anyway. :D

Oh, interesting 🤔 I wonder if alien generation was just a problem for my custom walkbys then? It may work fine for you in that case.

Edit: it looks like Home Regions does impact my NPCs spawning, but this mostly impacts the Conspiracy Hub. Kuttoe did add instructions on how to opt-out certain sims, so I'm looking into that now. In the meantime, I'd recommend using the "International Lot" lot trait if using the Conspiracy Hub or Mysterious Skies.
