Advanced technology is a skill introduced in The Sims 3: Into the Future. As Sims build this skill, their ability to successfully use future-tech objects increases.
Sims can learn and increase advanced technology skill by using drink synthesizer, food synthesizer, dream pod, holo-computer, holo disc, jetpack, sonic shower (even if their Hygiene motive is already full), and hoverboard. They can also take a Space Training Class at the Stellar observatory.
