Get to Work: Secret Area

Exploring the Alien World of Sixam

Sixam is explorable by Career Scientists and those Sims proficient in Rocket Science

The World of Sixam is the new 'hidden' area in The Sims 4 Get to Work, where your Sim can meet Aliens and collect rare objects. In case you didn't notice, Sixam is Maxis (The Sims Developer) backward. There are two ways normal Sims can visit this place: via Rocket Science or the Scientist Career. Two new crystals and metals can be found here, the former of which can derive a new Element, with three new forms of Plant life to grow in your Garden. There is a six-piece collection of Geodes you can find, which give Environment boosts, as well as alien plants to be harvested and grown back home.

Rocket Science and the Wormhole Generator Upgrade are the primary means of reaching Sixam

Method 1: Rocket Science
The primary method for most Sims to reach Sixam is to reach level 10 Rocket Science and install a Wormhole Generator for $1,000. In all, the project will cost you $7,000 and some time. The extra upgrades aren't needed. Your Rocket will simply have the ability to Travel Through Wormhole to reach Sixam.

Method 2: The Scientist Career
Reaching level 10 in the Scientist Career, you can upgrade your Wormhole Generator by attending work and using the Invention Constructor. You can learn all about that career in our guide, but here's what you need to know: initial construction of the Wormhole Generator requires level 6 and a scientific breakthrough along with 2 uncommon metals, crystals, and two of any elements. The upgrade itself is free to use, just requiring you to place the Wormhole Generator on the Invention Constructor and select upgrade. This is the more time consuming route between the two, but Scientist is a great Career and offers loads of money-making potential so is by no means a sink like Rocket Science.

Fang Flowers can be harvested from these trees

Exploring the World
Look for the Geodes, which are like balls on pedestals, along with the small Quill Fruit Plants and Wild Orb Stalks. You can also harvest the glowing blue trees, which will give you Fang Flowers.

Quill Fruit can be picked, but look also for plants known as Wild Orb Stalks

The dig spots and crystals are obvious. You will likely encounter Aliens here, who can be befriended.

Cheating to Get an Alien
While on Sixam, if you want an Alien, there's an easy way to add one to your own Household. Simply enable testing cheats via Control + Shift + C and then typing, testingcheats on. Shift-clicking an Alien will then allow you to Add to Family.

Use the Electroflux Wormhole Generator to Go Home at any time

Returning Home
Click on the Wormhole Generator to return home, no matter how you arrived.

Once your sim has arrived in Sixam you can direct your sim to go here by clicking on the ground. There are parts of Sixam, just like any other Sims 4 world that a sim can not get to.

These are the only two methods to get to Sixam that are under direct control of your played sim. The other way is a work opportunity that your level 10 scientist may or may not get. If you are lucky your L10 scientist will get the work opportunity to attend an alien party on Sixam as part of his daily at-work requirements.

I found there is another way. If you do Control + Shift + C and type testingcheats on and type enter and then do bb.showhiddenobjects and then enter, then go to build mode and search for a Invention Constructor and buy one and a wormhole thing, then you just update the wormhole thing and then you an go to Sixam Hope this helped!

Do ctrl + shift + c and type in "bb.showhiddenobjects". Now search for ** DEBUG ** in the build mode and you may be able to find the fishing signs. Now you can fish ANYWHERE.

That's if you want to use cheats. For a vanilla game fishing is not an option on Sixam.

Hey Niva,

I haven't found anywhere that is says definitively, but Elder males can get pregnant by abduction, as well as Adults. I was shocked!

There are aliens everywhere in the worlds. I met a weird sim while visiting the park and i found her quite suspicious and a bit "out of this world" by the way she talked and she made this funny animation as if she was reading someone's mind so i collected a DNA sample from her and anylised it. The results did nkt reveal anything but after a while talking to her it informed me th she was an alien and later the same day i found another one wondering around .i already foumd like six just talking to people. I only have one question though: how do you get one to join your household. I know u can add one in CAS but they are just so stubborn maybe ill just stick with normal friends instead.
Lol

You can add them to your household by befriending them then in the friendly interaction you should see the 'move in' interaction.

I keep trying to get my Sim abducted, but the only thing that happens is an alien comes to my house. I'm trying to do the Xenophilia challenge but my Sim won't get abducted! Is there any way to fix it?

get a satellite (can be done while you are in the scientist career in get to work and invent on the invention robot thingy or simply just cheat it. Type bb.showhiddenobjects on the cheatbox and you can find it under the electronics;misc category), click on it, select "contact aliens" and any minute or so, an alien will abduct you. that's what i did to get my male sim abducted...and of course, have an alien baby ;)

No, that won't happen. Your male sim is safe to visit Sixam.

Sorry but that is impossible, aliens can not impregnate sims unless they try for baby or the target sim gets abducted. Also Cassandra in a vanilla game is not an alien just a regular townie sim.
