it would make traits deeper because depending on the traits your sims would think of a memory as good or bad an evil sims would like some bad memories like fire or a death of sims they don't like and family sims would think of there wedding fondly while for noncommittal sims it would be a bad memory it would be kind of like the seasons calendar but with meaningful life events

They could just really remake The Sims 2's memory system into the game as it's actually quite completed. Maybe we could get a new trait as Strong Memory, and a sim with that could remember some smaller things (for example, gaining one skill point, flirted with someone, or it rains).

I believe a memory system would be a good think, and it would be a step toward my idea of Phobias/Phobia Conquest.

I know about that and I don't think it really counts it didn't really tell you anything about the memory you just took a pic and and put an emotion
to it I want something like in sims 2 or 3 where its easy to get to and life events are note worthy I don't think they should have a memory of everyone they meet like in sims 2 just the big or meaningful events
