Hello again very long time supporters & higher tiers! 

Thanks for your support, I say it all the time but I'll never say it enough. You are the stars in my sky <3


Here for suggestion / poll time, here the topic is: 

* Memories / Milestones to Add to the Memory Panel mod! *

 First let me give you a list of the ones that are going to be in first release (it's actually 21 not 18, math is hard):
- Became an Occult
- Became a Widow(er)
- Born in [insert world]
- Cheated on a Partner
- Was Spared by the Reaper / Nearly Died
- Had an Abortion
- Had Children
- Had Grandchildren
- Got a Job
- Got Fired
- Had an Official Relationship
- Had a Permanent Separation
- Kissed someone
- Woohoo'd with someone
- Moved to another "world"
- Sold a masterpiece
- Published a book
- Was abducted by aliens
- Was cheated on
- Had terrible reputation
- Had great Reputation
- Was World Famous

Other ones from events of my mods that I will add: had a miscarriage, (maybe) joined a religion; what else do you want?

Other ones from game event:
-
I considered 'survived a fire" but, this happens to every single sim, so, I don't know.
- Past that, I haven't had a chance to think, since I've been focusing on making the ones listed above to start with;
- Basically I'm looking for stuff that's not common enough to happen every sim day / to exactly every sim, but stuff that's still relevant enough to warrant being listed... 

So, throw in your requests! :D

 'WooHoo' and 'Kiss' as well as reputations & being famous were ones the game already tracked in a hidden way so I just added my stuff on top of those. If I find other such along the way, I will add it too as that's generally easy.

Best,
Lumpinou

Could you add "has a STD, UTI, HIV/ AIDS if the sim has told someone that for infections or temporary disease for memory

You could add some animals memories, like: adopted a cat/dog, lost a cat/dog etc...

"Moved out of childhood home" for those of us who tend to just stay in the same house for generations while just adding on to it lol. Also, "My First Bill or something cutesy about bills and adulting. I do miss the memory book!

on this same vein, maybe something like "Empty Nest" for when all the kids move out

Will kids have memories too? I'd love to see something like "got an A," "first friend/best friend" and "first crush."

lumpinou

If they get different memories from adults, some of them will have to disappear at aging up because I assume they would be tinier things that maybe won't be so memorable anymore later - even so, an A is more of a moodlet worthy thing than anything imo haha. Kids get them all the time. As for crushes, I stay away from that topic for child Sims due to some very perverse mods circulating - 'made a best friend' among others can be considered though totally!

Not sure if it has been mentioned but what about the first time you cheat on your other half when you have the loyalty trait?

children could have the memory of a new sibling - a parents divorce - a parents new marriage - death of a pet - having a new pet - honor roll in school - scout memories - fulfilling an aspiration - vacation memories - shared moments with family ... Childhood memories can shape reactions as adults, they can be very powerful in influencing your approach of situations.

I am very much aware of the impact of childhood memories on humans yes. :) We are in a case where the game itself can only handle so much stuff thrown at it, so we have to be picky on what memories we put on Sims and leave on Sims forever. Pets etc is a yes for adults and kids both. Same for divorce. Etc etc. But stuff such as 'had a fun Halloween' would not make it, because if I went and loaded markers on Sims for every such thing and left them forever, it's an exponential increase very quickly, and the game would become laggy. That is why we are here: to suggest and decide what events should make it to the memory panel, and decide which ones are fine to have just moodlets, sentiments, relationship statuses, etc. If I see a few of you say you want a specific memory that I myself would have skipped - then I will add it. If I see cool ideas and suggestions, especially if they are repeated by several of you, I will add these. But can I safely add absolutely everything? No, unfortunately. So, there are levels of pickiness we can have: either completely skip a lot of stuff, or put it in but remove it at adulthood. Merging similar things together etc is also sometimes viable. Point here is I work within the limitations of the system I am given by the game. In ts2, memories were an endless roll and things could repeat etc, they were their own thing and built to have stuff added to them again and again and handle that. In Ts4, there is no system built like that or for that purpose, and nothing in Ts4 can be added infinitely onto Sims without risk of hurting performance, therefore one has to be picky. This is true in every modding project and it is a concern that defines the mod designs I come up with from the very inception of a project, so that we can have lots of new features without making the game slower

I have a question...one of my sims was diagnosed with gonorrhea and it says take medicine but where is the medicine?

Sheila Lobert

Had Twins/triplets, Went on Vacation, Saved a life (such as from fire), Delivered a baby (for doctors/midwives), Got a WTD, maxed a skill, reached top of career, completed an aspiration, won the lottery, became a millionaire, went broke ($0), made a BFF, went in a rocket ship, woohooed in public, became a 5 star celebrity.

(If you wanted to look at things from other mods - not for initial release, of course - birth complications, plane crashes, etc.)

lumpinou

That's never just up to me, collabs are exactly that - I can't just add stuff from other mods without asking and oftentimes, it also needs bilateral integration. Due to that, indeed that would not be for very soon :) What mod has plane crashes?

I am sorry. I did not mean to imply you are unaware of the importance of nenories from childhood. Your mods are amazing and you know the game way better than us players and how to deal with ir. It was more an open-ended thought ... take care. ✨

i can't seem to have a memory for getting engaged or breaking off an engagement.. Maybe that would be great for a suggestion? Also how about owning your own restaurant/retail?

lumpinou

Owning a business already has a memory for it. Engagement I don't know yet what to do with since once you are married, it is implied - so making it switchable \ auto removable upon marrying perhaps.
