Alien Computer

A recolor of the base-game computer that gives it a sci-fi twist—available in 7 color swatches, with two variations: one featuring an alien graphic on the back and one plain.

Key features
  • Seven distinct color options for the computer.
  • Two design versions: one with an alien motif on the rear panel, and one without.
  • Replaces the standard computer price with a lower cost (listed at 5,000 Simoleons, compared to the original 15,150).

Requirements and compatibility
Requires the Get to Work expansion pack to function; compatible with base-game and other packs beyond that, as it’s a recolored EA object.

Mod release date
Originally released on February 27, 2020.

Gameplay role/impact
Purely decorative—a stylish variant that adds themed flair to your builds while functioning exactly like the original computer does in terms of use and interactions.

Is it Maxis-Match?
Yes—it’s a Maxis-style recolor of an existing in-game object, designed to integrate seamlessly with the base Sims aesthetic.

Community feedback
Widely appreciated for its aesthetic appeal and thematic charm. Players enjoy the alien-themed variant as a fun twist on the standard computer, and value the reduced price point for build variety. Its simplicity and compatibility make it a go-to decoration for sci-fi and themed rooms.

About the creator
Created by Hippy70, a modder known for creative recolors and aesthetic tweaks that enhance object variety. This mod has remained available since its release in early 2020 with no indications of transfers or adoption by others.

Editor’s Note
Great for players looking to add a playful sci-fi touch to studies, game rooms, or themed builds—without altering functionality. Pairs well with other Maxis-match sci-fi or extraterrestrial-style recolors and decor to complete the look.
