If you get a Windcarver (looks like a surfboard) from the Community Living Center and put it in your Sim's inventory then select 'Use Instead of Walking', your Sim will gain a little Advanced Technology skill every time they move about. The Buried in the Sand and other opportunity chains serve as an introduction to some of the activities your Sims can take up while visiting the town and tells a story to help solve the mystery of a crashed ship outside town in the Wasteland. When ready, have your Sim (or a group of Sims) step through the portal to visit the Future World of Oasis Landing.
SIMS 3 INTO THE FUTURE PART 10 PORTABLE
The Portal is portable and may be put into your Inventory when deactivated, but must be placed in order to be used. If you need a replacement Wellsian Time Portal or didn't get your own for some reason, they can be bought for $750 in the Buy Mode > Outdoors > Outdoor Activities tab. You are also able to Summon the Time Traveler through the portal to speak to him about the Future and even make a friend of him, if you are not ready to go. Once you have the Almanac and have completed the Opportunity, you are ready to enter the portal at any time and can freely close/open the portal and move it to a better spot on your Sim's lot (close it and then put it in your Sim's inventory). He'll also speak with you about future destinations like the Bot Arena and let you know about advanced technologies and means of travel. While the Time Traveler is visiting the Present, you can talk to him to learn about the Almanac of Time and changing the future. You can find the Almanac of Time by the Phone and Collection Journal in your all your Sims' inventories. You'll be given the Almanac of Time, which lets you alter the Future, view your Sim's descendents, and learn the requirements to get a Legacy Statue of your Sim built in Oasis Landing.

Collect the power cells scattered around your lot and give them to the Time Traveler to improve your relationship. Emit (Surely a Back to the Future reference) will give you an Opportunity called Help a Time Traveler out. Shortly after you've loaded up the neighborhood and moved in your Sims a portal will appear on your lot or somewhere else in the world, through which a Time Traveler will emerge. So pick a town and load up the game (or previous save) if you're eager to check out the new Future World included with the Expansion.

Its fate will be altered by your Sim's actions in the Present. Oasis Landing only exists in the Future, and can be traveled to in-game from any town you decide your Sims will live in. When starting the game, you won't see the new town Oasis Landing in the list. There are a few opportunity chains to do, and the first I recommend you do, Buried in the Sand, offers great rewards while the others introduce you to new gameplay elements from Into the Future.

I did this while notetaking for other articles and threw it together to help clear up some other players' confusion on accessing the world and highlight how helpful some of the Opportunities from the Time Traveler are once you've arrived. This article details my first adventure in the Future town of Oasis Landing, the same tutorial/Opportunities that other Sims 3 players will encounter if they continue working with the Time Traveler upon arrival.
