Memories are stored in a panel in the Sim's Simology tab. There are positive and negative memories, and some memories can be either positive or negative, depending on Sim's [[aspiration]] or [[secondary aspiration]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}. For example, [[Knowledge]] Sims collect positive memories for being [[Alien abduction|abducted]] by [[alien]]s, and [[Romance]] Sims collect negative memories for getting [[Marriage|married]].

Memories are usually used as a subject of a conversation, in addition to [[interest]]s. Recent memories are likely to be the conversation topic and will eventually wear off and not become a topic anymore. Negative memories can be spread by gossip. Sims who have heard a piece of gossip can pass it on to other Sims as well. This is because Sims accumulate gossip memories which do not appear in the memories panel, but which can be viewed with [[SimPE]]. A topic of the gossip is started by Sims who witnessed a bad experience, or heard the story itself from other Sims via gossip or chat.{{clarify}}

In ''[[Bon Voyage]]'', a new memory feature is added. A suitcase icon appears in Sim's memories panel. Clicking it will show the Sim's [[vacation memento]]s that were collected while going on [[Vacationing|vacation]]. Vacationing Sims will receive a title based on the number of mementos they have collected. This is only a trivial feature, and collecting all of the vacation mementos will not give any sort of reward to a Sim. Each Sim has his or her own vacation mementos.

This feature is not included in the base game, however [[moodlets]] act as temporary memories. Larger event moodlets will last longer, ex: a death or divorce. Sad moodlets will make Sims cry every once in a while until the moodlet goes away.

Memories return in the update introduced by ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''.<ref name="Interview">http://www.computerandvideogames.com/296849/interviews/the-sims-3-generations-we-love-hearing-from-the-community/</ref> The Sims will collect them; it's possible for the player to change a Sim's memories. Instead of using icons to represent memories, the in-game camera will take a snapshot of the memory and, when enabled, will notify what memory occurred.

A tool to create memories will be available. Any user-made memories require a picture taken by the player, and will also require a title. If the camera is not on the same lot as the Sim in the active household who is receiving the memory, the memory will have a placeholder for the picture and a gray background. If the Sim receiving the memory is not in the active household, the memory will have a watermarked background depicting whether the memory is positive, neutral, or negative. Editing a memory provides a share function which can either upload the memory to the Sims 3 website or to Facebook as a status update. Players who upload memories may get items from the store (according to the number of memories uploaded).{{clarify}}
