I enjoy the memory system in TS2. Yes, it is indeed one of important features in the game. I believe that TS4 used to have the feature where it pair with photos?
Yes. At launch there was a Memories system where you could take a screenshot, designate it as a memory, then choose which sims the memory applies to and assign an emotion to it. Then, when your sim reminisced about the memory, it would give them a moodlet of the corresponding emotion. It was great both as a storytelling element and a gameplay mechanic.
After the patch that they implemented before "Get to Work" came out, though, The Memories system was folded into the screenshot manager, player control was taken away from assigning emotions to memories, and finding memories was made a total mess because instead of only seeing the memories for your active sim when you went into the menu like before, now you see all of your screenshots from every household and every save (memories, photos, "paint-from-reference" screenshots, and general screen shots, all mooshed together with no rhyme or reason) which not only makes the whole thing lag like crazy, it also makes it nearly impossible to find the memories you want!! It was one of TS4's best features at launch...and they destroyed it... -_-;
Wow I honestly dont remember. So many bugs and disabling patches that have been implemented.
Now my memories are messed up! XD
Yeah, I'm still sore about it because I used that feature all the time in my gameplay. Preserving memories for future browsing, using the reminiscing feature for screenshots or practical purposes...I LOVED it! It was so original and innovative!! It added an element of realism to the game that previous Memories systems just didn't have...AND it didn't have the potential to break the game over time like TS2's did!!! Losing it was one of the biggest mechanical blows dealt to this game, let me tell ya...
