The Alien Tech badge just says 'your sim' so I suspect any sim who is capable of doing the upgrade would work. It is just that I currently have a household of mostly witches. And my only fairy/genie doesn't have much handiness skill so I had no choice but to use a witch - and I got her to magically upgrade it.
Well, you have to be of a certain "Handiness" level to perform individual upgrades. If I remember correctly, you need to be at least level 3 to make items "Self Cleaning". Most of the other ones can be found there:
carls-sims-3-guide.com/skills/handiness/
In the case of the UFO, I *think* the required skill level is 7 for each of the three upgrades (Again, if I remember correctly, "Laser Guns" to gain the ability to attack a lot and create massive hysteria, "Improved Space Engine" to gain the ability to travel to space and perform a rabbithole adventure, and "Tractor Beam" to gain the ability to abduct a sim, and then release him/her with a "It was only a joke!"), and they takes like 10 hours for a sim with level 10, so that's why "Magically Upgrade" is preferable by far.
I know the handiness has to be high. I don't know how high - I think my sims was probably at level 10.
I tried one of my other witches and she couldn't do it due to lack of sufficiently high handiness skill.
All I was trying to say is you don't HAVE to use a witch. Meaning it is still possible to do the badge if you don't have a witch with sufficiently high handiness skill in your game.
I didn't try to do it any way other than by a magical upgrade so I don't know how long it would take to do it with a hammer.
And after getting the badge - my Sim took autonomous control of the ship and caused mayhem with her laser cannons. She had little sims down on the ground running for cover. I don't think anyone got hurt though.
