Just been puttering in Strangerville a bit the last two days and wondering if a sims' skills and abilities are even relevant or if this is more like a traditional role-playing game where you just have...
- Level 3 Programming: Hack the lab computers for more evidence. Level 9 required to fix them afterwards. - Level 5 Fitness: Impress military personnel enough to get the infection scanner. - Charisma (unsure about level): Seduce military personnel into giving you the scanner. - Level 5 Military career: Order military personnel to give you the scanner. - Any trait that helps building relationships faster: Befriend a scientist to get them to complete your hazmat suit.
However, as others have said, none of this is actually necessary, there are several ways of gathering evidence and items needed for progression. If all else fails, and you have some money left, you can still bribe your way to some of the objects and buy others at the shop. I do think you have to befriend a scientist to get one of the components of the hazmat suit, but then again, you can always do this without any specific skills or traits, and I'm not sure the hazmat suit is even required at all. It may help
