Your Sim will eperience delusional episodes that may permanently change their traits.

Advance Technology

As an Oasis Landing citizen, you will need to know some basics of Advanced Technology skill.

Some of the new objects in Oasis Landing are linked with this skill.

Level 1

Let’s start off with the Level 1 of this skill!

What will the Future hold? It’s anyone’s guess! Advanced Technology might appear daunting at first, but the Advanced Technology Skill will be gained at an accelerated rate while visiting the Future. With practice and patience, your Sim will know how to use Advanced Technology like a pro! Novices will have the ability to change the Future on the Time Portal, program the Fruiti Bobs recipe into the Food Synthesizer, and unlock additional Dream Pod dreams.

The best way to level up is to use the JetPack/Hoverboard. They help you transport your Sim much easily + your Advanced Technology skill will grow.
