How does memory system works?

How do you use memories in sims 4?

I've noticed that we can take a screenshot and create a memory. But then what can we do with it?

And how does the game choose the emotion
associated with it? Is it random? Is there a way i can choose it?

    I have noticed yesterday that it isn't always the emotion my sim had at that moment.

    Where there more than a single sim tagged? Maybe it was their emotion. In early days I used MCCC to change the mood to what I wanted and created a whole catalog of moods to recall at will. But I stopped using this because screenshots/memories could have been organised better and there were easier ways to change the mood.



    Oh it may be that! It makes sense. In both screenshots there was a different person. In the inspired one my sim was talking to a conservationist he just met, and in the sad one my sim was swimming alone but there's a girl on a boat passing by him and she actually looks sad...

    What i find weird about this system is that sims doesn't recall anything. You need to go there and make them recall. And they are actually 'recalling' emotions only, not what made them feel that way... atm the only use i see for it is to make some kind of book of memories for me, not for the sims. I'ld love if there were some way of exporting it to a file.
  • @telmarina I find sometimes that memories of sims in certain save files are shared by sims in others. Does that happen to you too?
  • @Coffeecrumblecake i haven't noticed that... that's bad... i wish memories were held better...
  • Taking a screenshot doesn't capture a memory. It goes to your screenshot folder.
    I'm guessing you mean taking a photo with the camera or phone. Then it has to be take photo of, or take photo with, to capture the aura emotion. Event then I think there may be only 3 or 4 emotions that can be captured?

    (Oh, if you chose the take photo of or take photo with, it also makes copies to your screenshots folder)
