honestly I don't feel like sentiments will do much in my game because they vanish so easily and they seem to be oh so very vague
they really should have brought back the permanent memories like ts2 instead and then added cheat to remove particular ones you don't like
because now i don't like how your sims get memory loss about important moments they remembered just fine before because they got another random sentiment and it kicked out other one
as for the particular sentiment honestly don't care way or another it seems to just be another happy buff creator
@Simmingal I feel like they are avoinding those SIms 2 styled memories, cuz thats what could cause a save file or even the game to corrupt in Sims 2. BUT we are in 2020, they should have thought about better solutions than avoiding the problem, cuz honestly... memories was what made Sims 2 the best (except for those random and useless cockroach memories).
Yes. Those "Met someone new" memories were a pain in the rear. They would totally clutter up.
I do think memories like in the Sims 2 would be really complicated, especially if you're allowed to erase some. A sim trying to reminisce on a memory you just deleted could totally break the whole game. They would need to find a really good solution in order to implement those in the Sims 5 maybe.
@SimmerGeorge but in sims 2 we didn't had the option to delete memories, unles you're using mods, but then you're going against how the devs made the game. Sims 3 had the option for you to delete the memory, but not the problem was that everyone in the hugest worlds possible had memories (and more useless memories than in SIms 2) and they would bloat up your save. Even if you deleted them, the devs made the delete feature in a way that it left only the important thigns that wouldn't allow the game to corrupt.
I think they should learn with those two experiences. Don't add a bunch of useless "went to", "met someone new" and "seen cockroaches" and similar stuff, add the option to delete memories in a way that it doesn't corrupt my save files and the save files of those who download my sims from the gallery, and finally just create memories in the current active family. I know it won't be a problem for most rotational players, since most don't let their households progress while playing other households. And I bet they can add an toggle option to let the game create memories for the unplayed sims if desired (not as the main setting, since in Sims 3 the toggle didn't work to stop auto-memory).
@Karon Oh yeah I guess I didn't make that clear. Yes we couldn't erase memories in the Sims 2 but I know many people are requesting Sims 2 memories + a new feature that allows you to create your own and delete memories for future games. I was referring to that and meant to say if memories were like the Sims 2 but also with those additional features the team would have a very difficult time trying to make them work without issues.
