Memories: Difference between revisions

'''Memories''' are collected by Sims in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''.

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}}

In ''The Sims 4'', the memory system is like a mixture of the one in ''The Sims 3: Generations'' and the photo album in ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2''. You can use all of the screenshots you make as a memory of the Sim. Every memory can also have its own [[emotion]].
