Good question. I was struggling with that one too. I tried to find cheat codes and popped up this excellent Sims 2 DS cheatcodes! It tells you where and when you can find mechanical and other skill points throughout the hotel and other places. The website's called: http://www.neoseeker.com/Games/cheats/DS/the_sims_2.html I hope this website helps. I worked for me!
You DO NOT need 5 mechanical skillsAll you have to do is:Go to the Penthouse between 6 to 10 pmOptimum Alfred is not there
possible places of mechanical skills in the managers suit hotel reactor at the back of the stairs at the basement near the basement in the atrium and in the casino
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.
Go to the bookshelf, and click "Study" then "Mechanical"
Buy a bookshelf (unless you already have one). Then, click on it, and go to Study.../Mechanical.

Yes, 5 stars is the maximum amount of stars on My Sims DS.

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.
by completing the game
5 stars
When you're supposed to defeat Alfred? You have to collect 5 mechanical skill points first, and then go to the penthouse between 6pm and 10pm. The Concierge told me that's when he goes out to "recharge his batteries".
you need 10 mechanical points and then go to the penthouse and they will be there ------ WRONG answer. you need more than 5 mechanical points and yes, they're in the penthouse but you gotta wait for 6 pm to 10 pm and the robot Alfred will go recharge battery. when he's gone you go steal blueprints. PS 6 pm in Sims time. as you know the Sims time is about one hour slow. WRONG!, you need 5 mechanical points then steal the blueprints while the robot goes and charges his batteries at 6 pm 10 pm (if you need to change the time on your DS to 6 pm or 10 pm or in between. Wrong, sims time is the same time that u put on your ds so u must have the wrong ds time !
earn micanicle 5 and break into the penthhouse.
