Memory Panel: a Sims 4 Mod for Lifelong Memories

0. Your Sims will acquire memories / milestones when they experience something marking for the very first time ever.

A little ‘click’ and special effect plays when a memory is acquired. A special moodlet will also show.

You can also cheat-add memories.

SOME memories can also be retroactively added by the mod on first launch.

1. You are able to open your sim’s memory profile to quickly visualize what marking ‘first time’ events have happened in their life.
The memories of those ‘first times’ appear in CHRONOLOGICAL order.

Only the ‘first time’ appears in the panel. But the panel holds information about subsequent happenings too, and who things happened with, including who was first, etc. More on this below.

2. Through the panel, by clicking on an item you are able to quickly visualize what Sims your Sim has ever had specific relations or rapport with.

Highlight works only for memories acquired after mod install and not retroactively.

When in that window, clicking a Sim will give you some choices:

3. Sims might react differently to things happening for the first time VS later in life.

At the moment, this translates as additional moodlets & social bunny posts – for example, a Sim will get a different moodlet for being fired the first time and for being fire one more time. More impacts to come later 🙂

• There are social bunny posts, for those who have High School Years (the pack is NOT a requirement for this mod, but if you don’t have it, of course you won’t have the social bunny posts).

• – on first install, the mod will retroactively add to your sims the milestones / ‘first times’ it can deduct from your Sim’s relationships, etc. It can RETROACTIVELY deduce ONLY CERTAIN STUFF, since a lot of it depends on custom code in the mod itself, so, a lot of it can only be properly acquired after the mod is installed.
  NOTE: WHEN RETROACTIVE, the mod has no idea when each thing happened, so, the retroactive stuff is added in an order that is always the same one. WHEN RETROACTIVE, it also has no idea who was fought with, or kissed / woohoo’d with first. This stuff is only for memories acquired after the mod was installed.
• There is also a menu under ‘actions’ to cheat-add or cheat-remove memories.

• There is a Social Interaction to ask other Sims about their memories / milestones. Depending on friendship, you’ll get a displeased answer, a partial answer, or a full answer.
• If you shift + click on another Sim, you will see a cheat to view their Memory / Milestones Panel.
• When a Sim woohoo’s for the 1st time in their life, or kisses someone for the fits time, they will have a special additional status with that sim:

Creating and editing the life story:

Sims can start their Personal Bio / life Notes at any time from the Memory Panel.

They can edit it from the memory panel or from the inventory.

Only the Sim who created the bio / note can edit it, but any Sim can read it.

Safekeeping life notes / stories:

Bios can be stored in inventories, shelves and chests.

After death, bios / notes go to the Household Inventory; you can retrieve them from there.

Why does the bio also appear in the inventory? Because a patron requested that I make Bios able to be kept after a sim’s death. Originally I didn’t make them visible in inventory, but to make it possible to fetch them and store them in chests etc after death, I had to 🙂
At some point I want to make a special box for them 🙂
