The way to get these actual memories is kind of out of the way, which is probably why a lot of people don’t know about it. It needs to be done in a way that interrupts gameplay, whereas milestones appears through gameplay, and the only affect is a moodlet. It would be better if you could record the action and who it’s happening with, or where it’s happening, and when repeating these actions at another time, the sims would have a random chance of remembering the time they did it before, and get the appropriate moodlet.

It would be nice if it automatically did the memories when key events happen, I think there is a memory mod for that, but not sure, also, they should've tied the milestones to the memory system to record the memory of when a milestone happens.

Slice of life is a Sims 4 mod that hasn't been updated since 2022. It used to have a memory system associated with emotions without taking photos. I miss that. All the photos taken in the game are in the same place, so it's almost impossible to find an specific shot associated to the Sim you are controlling to. Sims 4 memory system is terrible.

I think I prefer the memory system from sims 2. In Sim 3 and 4 you need to save multiple pictures in our pc, while sims 2 just tell a list of things that happened with them.

they also have a hidden memory system thats not sentiments or anything, but they remember when a sim was rude or cheated on him/her, you wont see it anywhere in the UI but the sim will do more rude interactions with the sim who was rude before or cheated before

The Sims 3’s memories were very similar, but the Sims 2’s memory system was the GOAT. It’s too bad that it was a massive source of game corruption. Memories have been plaguing sims programmers since they were introduced lol

I always had to turn memories off in Sims 3; they made the game lag terribly because there got to be so many. It would be neat if memories were stored in a physical object, like a scrapbook so your Sim could flip through the pictures, but maybe it wouldn't be so laggy because the pics wouldn't be carried around in the world by all the Sims all the time.

Sims memory actually goes a little further than just micromanaging them yourself through pictures. If you take a lot of screenshots of your sims family and/or have them become really close; an option will pop up in their interaction menu that says like "Discuss treasured memories" or something like that. And they'll both get a moodlet from that. And they can also be effected by past interactions with other sims, which people don't really think about being memories, but are. The whole "this sim wronged/betrayed me" sentiment is technically a memory and effects their mood.

Lol, I literally found out that sims can read their diary and get moodlets, which are from reliving a memory. But it's random, I think. Been knew about the screenshot memory, but it sucks because we can't organize the screenshots.

What I think a lot of people don't realize is that moodlets are a short term memory system, but can also reflect the way a sim is feeling or may be thinking about at the moment.

Ok so the Sims 4 memory system is basically a cheat system for the emotions, they are not tied to any household specifically, you can have any sim look at them, and you can assign any emotion you want to them. Even worse, they are mixed with ALL of your screenshots so finding them unless you use them all the time is a nightmare. And when the Sims 4 basegame came out everyone complained about it not being as good as Sims 2 or 3 memory system. A few years ago when the sims team was pretending they wanted feedback on what players wanted in Sims 4, one the things requested was a memory system and they said "Oh we have one" and people argued no we have a screenshot system not a memory system and they acted confused like they didn't know what we were talking about. So I doubt they will ever give us a real memory system, they apparently think it was good enough and too much effort to make better. Like everything else. I'll be honest that I did not use it in Sims 3, but we used it all the time in Sims 2. In Sims 3 its disabled because it does contribute to slowing down the game, just another background process that is not necessary for my gameplay.

Tbh the emotion system is one of the worst things about the Sims 4 (right behind bugs.) They were really big about how great it was but it killed meaningful traits, stories, relationships, and consequences. Because it's such a large chunk of the gameplay, it bleeds into everything.

When a Sim take a photo, that photo do have a mood attached to it that matches the mood of the photographer. If you then place that photo somewhere in the world, you can activate it's emotional aura just like any other mood altering objects.

I heard you say you couldn't download the rest of the sims 3 expansion packs. I had the same issue with the EA app with the Into the Future expansion pack. Turn on auto update, start the downloads then force quit EA app and open the origin app. It will finish the downloads. You will still get the annoying pop up about switching to the EA app but the rest of the expansion packs will download in the background so just wait till they are done and then you can play as noraml. Hope it help! I still STRONGLY prefer sims 3 lol
