What do you use to tell stories for your Sims?

I’m not a storyteller player, so I don’t know if it really applies, but whatever I’m imagining that my sims experience is is all in my head anyway, I rarely remember to take any screenshots, and even when I do I never do anything with them. The only thing I sometimes use screenshots for is to use them for paintings and photos to hang on the sims walls. With the first families I created for my custom hoods I took some family photos to make portraits for next generations, and also some photos that my sims later painted that I hung in the city hall to be like “portraits of the founders” sort of. But I’m at the sixth generation by now and I just rarely take photos anymore.
