Does anyone use the Memories thing?

A Simmer reminded me the other day that we used to have a sort of memory timeline detailing the big (and sometimes not so big) events in our Sims lives.
Things like mastering skills, going steady with a new boyfriend/girlfriend, graduations, first kisses, engagements, new jobs, weddings, births etc etc etc.

I understand that there is a more complicated and slightly less accessible system in TS4.

Does anyone use it? If so, what sort of things might I like to know about it in order to start using it for myself?

  • I haven't used this feature since The Sims team changed it in the December 2015 patch that literally rendered it useless....I was so mad I vowed to quit The Sims 4 due to cutting my story telling game play to scraps. Obviously that didn't take lol. But to be fair The Sims team have been getting so much better that I've since forgiven them for butchering my game play. I continue to play The Sims 4 with a smile and a scream (when my game crashes) and will continue to do so with the upcoming vampires game pack!
  • Whatever it is you wonder if someone is using in the game, being clothing, objects, functionality or whatever, someone is. If it's widely used is something different.

    I agree. Another problem with it: I cannot figure out the order in which the photos appear. This means I am unable to navigate my way to find the photo I want quickly. Does anyone know how to do that quickly?
  • I'll have to look at my sim's memories when I start my next rotation. I'm curious about what the game thinks are worth recording.

    My next rotation is finally a return to the Zalrian Household, so I'll have to see what my Twins have for memories while I wasn't playing them.
  • I don’t use it, I play rotational and like to clear out my screenshot folder between each family.

    You mean you go into the Screenshot folder and manually delete or transfer the undesired screenshots into a separate folder?

    Yeah, I move them to an external SSD card.
  • Another defect of the memories thing is it's limited to under 1 1/2 lines. Nothing meaningful to say with that.

    It seems to be missing from the Console version of the game. I couldn't find it.
