Sim Memories/Stories - Do You Create Them?

It depends on the household. For my main household that I've been playing ever since I started playing TS4, I do try to keep a picture and story record for important or significant events, as well as taking (way too many) screenshots to look back at every now and then. I don't write too much, just a few sentences or small paragraph to support the picture. I also have an ongoing story plan that I follow; crossing off and adding to as I go in Word. For other households that I occasionally play I just take screenshots when the mood takes me, e.g. if something important happens or just looks cute and put them in folders. Most of my sims are also often based on characters and/or stories that I summarise in my 'Plot Bunnies' Word document, which I keep in case I want to / get the chance to write. So yeah, I generally keep some form of record, but I also try not to get too bogged down by it and just enjoy the game.
