If you think about it, my suggestion is kinda useful for this. Regardless of how bland the Sims themselves currently are (which they are, arguably), I think it'd be nice if we can write stuff about them so that when we continue to play with them and their household, we remember what kind of Sim they are.... and their experiences.
I liked the biography systems because it was always fun to go in and see what experiences the sims had. The Sims 2 memory system was perfect for this, because once you paired that with their biography, you found yourself being something of a detective trying to piece their lives together, and they are vague enough for you to fill in the blanks, but specific enough that you knew precisely what the team was going for when they were creating them (i.e. The Pleasants)

I don't want to sound like I'm belittling how hard game design is, because it really really is, but as an IT student who specializes on game design, I can say that the addition is relatively simple and small. I even think that modders can accomplish this

I couldn't have said it any better. This is perfect.

Where do we submit this idea? How do we start a petition or something? Haha @Duvelina
