go on to buy perks and press L R & square at the same time get the cheat perk then go onto it and press the improve mechanical skill
Buy a bookcase. Click on it, and press "study.../Mechanical". Do this (while fulfilling Needs and Wants) until your sim has Mechanical 2.
click the book case and click study then click mechanical then wait
Once you get 5 mechanical skill points you have to complete the mission "Earn Mechanical 5, break into the Penthouse, and steal the Blueprints" and when you obtain the blueprints for the antenna you have to take it to the alien emperor: Emperor Zizzle.
Anywhere.... usually in the hotell or in the restaurant place.
mostly by building stuff and starting fires.
try when the sink or shower brakes down:)
you have to find them at certain spots at certain times of the day.
There are a few things you can do. There are books on the shelf that let you study it. You can also gain them when something is broke and you try to fix it. WARNING! THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU FIX SOMETHING IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MECHANICAL SKILL POINTS YOU ARE LIKELY TI GET ELECTRICUTED!
Buy a bookcase and click on it, choose the "study" option and then mechanical, once your Sim has a few points you can have them earn more by fixing things if they break down, if they don't have a decent amount of skill points call a repair man instead, other wise the Sim will end up getting electrocuted.
To fix things on sims 2 you have to get your mechanical skill high then you click on the object you want to fix and then your sim will if you don't want to study to get your skill high you can call a repair man to study just buy a bookshelf. :)
i think you just have to look around, i heard that there is a cheat to make your skill points increase or decrease but you will have to look around on the internet for that. Hope that helped.
You can either build a sturdy bed or create tools or build a bench or create a raft or bridge
