How to Use the Research Archive Machine in The Sims 4

Initially, players will primarily use the Research Archive Machine to research subjects. This interaction allows Sims to simultaneously work on their Research and Debate Skill as well as the skill connected to the specific subject being researched.

As Sims increase their Research and Debate Skill level, they will unlockmore advanced interactions for the Research Archive Machine:
