Not everyone needs to like the same thing. Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

I totally agree with the video. Memories could be so much more. They have a basic framework that they completely ignored. Most people don't even know this feature exists. I know there are concerns about Memories causing Save Corruption, but as long as they give the player the ability to turn on or off memories, or to choose which memories they want to save, this shouldn't be an issue. Just having a notification saying "Your sim gained a memory of getting married, do you want to save this memory?" is an easy fix. Being able to choose the the emotion and the sims who have the memory would be great as well.

Of course she can have her own opinion I just won't listen to it.

And I have a specific memory saved for two sisters Melissa and Sarah . Then using cheats I decide to make Melissa and Sarah's neighbor their older brother, cheat their relationships to max then delete Sarah after deciding I no longer want two sister? How would memories be effected without corruption?I used that scenario because I do stuff like that ALL the time. And I just don't know if that would be possible with memories. If there is a away around this with causing problems I would love to have memories. I really don't like the screenshot system we have now. It's very weird and impractical.

She actually just posted a thing about the 20 things she likes about the sims 4. I find it interesting that earlier you asked who she is and then all of a sudden you know she's "negative" about the game. Which is it? Just because someone finds something they don't like about a pack or is giving constructive criticism about the game in general, which she does a great job with if you actually watch her videos, doesn't mean they're negative. The sims 4 has A LOT of faults, but it also has GREAT features as well.If you have nothing constructive to add to a discussion and don't want to listen to the opinions of another simmer (Youtuber or not), who is also a consumer may I add (She spends her own hard-earned money on the game as well as we all do), then why comment at all? @Karon I'm going to take a look at this one as I saw it but was watching something else at the time. I'm sure it something that I can agree on, as memories should be reworked. (This is me going on without watching) I think sentiments and lifestyles are a step in the right direction. and I feel like they can expand with memories from there since we have sentiments that are permanent. But I'll be back after I watch the videoEdit: Coming back from the video. I agree. I remember how the memory system worked when the game first came out and I actually liked it. In a way, it kind of reminded me of how screenshots and the making stories in the sims 2 was. I still believe sentiments and this system could work together really well. It's been a while since I've visited memories of the sims 4, so I had no idea they changed, but yea would love a revamp of it.

Though why did they remove the emotion feature from memories and reflective upon them? Does anyone know?

@DragonCat159 they didn't, you can still have an emotion tied to the memory and refelct upon them, the only thing they removed was letting us change/choose freely which emotion we wanted the memory to have. I understand why they did this, cuz everyone would use this to cheat how their sims were feeling when they wanted us to buy emotion potions and experience the emotions organically.

I think Cindy was a bit harsh on Snowy Escape but I completely understand why because I felt the same way after Island Living. Sometimes I’m just feeling done with the game, that’s the vibe I got from her in that video, and sometimes that passes. She’s not always negative about TS4, she has started a TS4 Lets Play in her streams, there are mods she feels are essential and that makes it playable for her. I personally can play without mods but I am a fan of hers. I like her suggestions and I think if someone has watched the videos they would have heard her say she knows not everyone plays like she does or needs to play that way.

Yeah the sims 4 definitely is a love/hate relationship for me. I agree we need TRUE memories. Sims shouldn’t be happy after a sin just slapped them in the face or shouted forbidden words at them.

Certain events (childbirth / death) could be saved as a long time Memory and be remembered at random
(will give MEMORY MOODLETS with the same buff as back then).

MEMORY SYSTEM SIMS 4
https://thumbs.modthesims2.com/img/8/0/7/1/7/6/9/MTS_DiLight-1487502-6YVMaeidbFI.jpg

Green X = Positive sentiments / events
Red X = Angry / Negative sentiments / events
Yellow X = Embarrassed sentiment / event
Blue X = Sad sentiments / events
Brown X = Redefined memories
(earlier positive memory that has changed temporarily after gaining a negative sentiment)

Orange with a “!”-symbol!X = a “struggle” Life Struggles Pack
Golden with a “!”-symbol!X = a treated “struggle” Life Struggles Pack

Sims remember their memories and will at random get a moodlet with the memory (Memory Moodlet)
(eg. "Simsis was born") that have the same buff as back then (e.g. “+1 happy”).
This moodlet will give them the interaction share memory with other sims that are included in the memory (e.g. parents can share a memory of a child birth). This will make the other sim remember = trigger their memory moodlet.

Redefined memories = sims will get a Negative moodlet (tensed/sad/angry) when remembering these memories. The Redefined memories will turn back into Positive memories when the negative sentiment disappears.

I feel like the sentiments were their failed attempt in a memory system. Don't expect them to make anything better than that. This game is old and the engine is limited. I'm sorry to dissapoint anyone but they cannot do much more with this game.
