I've seen this happen occasionally while actively playing a human sim chatting with an alien.

I've also found out this can happen while I'm not actively playing the sims affected. I switched households and when I came back to the family, I found that the wife know thinks her husband is a known alien. But he's 100% human - I did spot them both chatting with an alien while out at a festival while I wasn't controlling them, so that could be when it happened.

What happened is this: My Sim was at a dance party with a friend. So she was in a group, though only with one other person. (I'm not sure if the grouped condition is significant, but mention it just in case.) She got into a conversation, which became a multi-person conversation. One of the NPCs in the conversation was an alien. This alien was not in my Sim's group, but was a part of the multi-Sim conversation. Said alien NPC used an alien power. Suddenly my Sim got a whole set of notifications that she'd discovered an alien in disguise -- one for each Sim in the conversation. Yes, every Sim in the conversation was tagged as a 'Known Alien' to my Sim. Now I have human Sims like Luna Villareal and Geoffry Landgraab marked as 'Known Aliens,' among others.

I don't know if there's anyway to 'undo' the tagging, but it would be nice.  Hopefully this will be noticed and fixed -- that would be wonderful.

I've added this

I don't know of any way to remove the tag. There might be a cheat ...

Does anyone still have this issue ?

Ummm . . . not really sure here.  I am now using the MCCC mod and its option to disable autonomous alien abilities.  So the situation no longer arises.  Honestly, I've drifted away from TS4 quite a bit of late.  Not playing very often.  But I'll see if I can set up a situation without the mod and see if it still happens.

I have this issue.

I was playing some other sims in my rotation, and when I came back to a particular household I checked the relationship bar and noticed that the wife now thinks her husband is a known alien, even though they are both human. They had a group conversation with an alien while I wasn't playing them and the "known alien" tag was applied to the wrong sim.
