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?

    @Admiral8Q if you go to the screenshot's manager after taking a screenshot there will be there an emotion that you can associate to each photo. But you can't pick the emotion, the game does. Thats what im refering to. I haven't tried the photos taken with cellphone yet. But will do.


    Actually I recommend not using the cellphone. I use the best camera in-game.
    For a screenshot it just takes a picture that goes into a folder. An in-game photo will have an emotional aura in-game if it was deliberately taken of someone while one of the emotions are active. You can't chose it. For example, this is a screenshot I took of the toddler making a musical fart. (Pressing C) Her older sister thinks it's funny, Dad is like, "Oh seriously?" :D

    At the top of the screenshot is a photo he (the Dad) took of his wife while she was flirty. That has an aura of 'flirty' that can be turned of or off.

    So, it will always be associated to an emotion that someone in the screenshot had.

    The photo at the top was taken with dad's cellphone? And you could activate an aura? So you can associate the emotion to cellphone photos in the screenshot manager and make of them frames with emotional aura? Sounds good. I was looking for this or any kind of use for the memory system... thank you!

    If you buy a camera for your sim, then you can use it from that sim's inventory. (like a homework book) You can use the cellphone too for taking pictures, but you will only get small photos.
