List of Memories
The Sims 2 Memories
In The Sims 2, memories provide a basic form of storytelling about the Sims who inhabit the neighborhood. Many events that happen in a Sim's lifetime will create a memory, and some memories can be either positive or negative, depending on the Sim's aspiration or secondary aspiration[TS2:FT]. Unlike in The Sims 3, all memories are automatic; none can be disabled, and none can be removed without a witch's spell or the use of SimPE.

Notes
The Sims 3 Memories
You can help The Sims Wiki by adding it.
Scrapbook Memory System
Scrapbook Memory System in The Sims 3.
Memories were introduced with a patch made after the release of Generations. The system has been upgraded from that used in The Sims 2. Instead of using an icon to display a memory, the camera will take an in-game photo of the Sim and show a dialog box informing the player of what has happened. If the camera is not on the same lot, the Sim receiving the memory will receive a placeholder with a gray background. If the Sim is not in the active household, the memory will receive a watermarked background showing whether the memory is positive, negative, or neutral.
Memories in The Sims 3 are reconfigurable, and can be removed or have their descriptions and/or titles changed. The player can utilize the in-game camera and make custom memories, but a picture must be taken by the player before the memory can be placed in the scrapbook.
