A couple of months back or so I was browsing through threads on boolprop and noticed someone mentioning something about alien abductions not occurring whenever there were ghosts around in the lot. I paid it no mind at the time, but lately I've been wondering it there's some truth to it.
In my OWBC, because of the Ghost Hunt bonus I chose, there have been ghosts around since the generation 1 sims were in their teens. Cody did stargaze for some time before that point, but with no luck. Then Börje took up stargazing duty during the time he lived in the main house as an adult, then the gen 1 heiress Olive's husband Fergus (since he's a vampire, he has been stargazing for a long, long time - he has teenage grandchildren now), and more recently gen 2 heiress Lethe's husband Vernon joined his father-in-law in stargazing every night. As I have 8 graves on the lot at this time, there are ghosts around every single night as well, but I have no clue if it's having any effect on the chances of abduction or not (the pre-ghosts time Cody spent stargazing without getting abducted was not that strange, I've had sims get abducted only after trying for longer than that, so I can't conclude anything).
I've begun to fear that I won't get the alien I need as part of the base game bonus. Does anyone have any TS2 experiences that would support or refute this ghost-associated lack of abduction theory?

Granted, not all of those are main house kids, but I love them all already. :)

Hector, Lorens & Ravi (Börje and Yvonne's sons) have now been added to the list. :)

If you didn't mind, could you go vote in my OWBC gen 2 heir poll (here at LJ or at Boolprop) if you haven't already, please? (Even if you're not up to date in the chapters.)
I have a bunch of votes over at Boolprop, but I think only Esme voted in the LJ poll, and I wanted to have an official gen 2 heir(ess) soon-ish. Thank you in advance!
