Really hope the new milestones were getting will be as good as the Sims 2s memory system

Anybody got a feeling the milestones will work like memories in the Sims 2, I've always wanted a working, automatic memory system in the Sims 4, I just hope it will work properly with memories automatically saved such as getting married, having kids, getting a pet, moving house etc, getting sacked from a job, that's the sort of gameplay I'm hoping were get.

    Yes, they're like memories but supposedly better.

    I don't expect it to be better, but different, hopefully good in its own, Sims 4 way.

    Sims 2 memories could be passed through Sims via gossip and have consequential results. I remember I was playing a family of three; father, mother and reen daughter, who had a positive dynamic, well adjusted family. I switched households to play some romance Sims, went to the goth club to hit on whoever was there. The father showed up outside so I took my Sim out there to flirt brazenly, out on the street, with other Sims passing by. They had a short flirtation, I think had one kiss and then he left.
    Eventually I went back to playing the family, and the teen had a friend over who had been by the club that night. Suddenly my teen's relationship plummeted towards her dad and she went to her bedroom and cried. I was confused for a time, wondering what happened to their relationship, until I saw there was something about his "betrayal" in her memories. I'd had no idea that this could happen, that her friend could pass that information onto her. Changed their relationship forever, took a long time to get her to stop hating him, but she never told her mother and he never did it again. That was some amazing gameplay.

    So I definitely don't expect that level of memories to exist in Sims 4, I think it's something that would have to be programmed from the core game in the beginning. But in Sims 4's version, I think it will be able to change a Sim's emotions when they think of their Milestones, so in its own way it will have a unique effect on Sims that will hopefully feel different for each Sim depending on their personal experiences.

    I do hope they will include a lot of different types of milestones, unique to traits and special circumstances whether good or bad, so that they don't start to feel like they are the same for every Sim. We really need more distinguishing characteristics.

    Hmm I would like to be able to click on an object or menu or something and scroll through past memories of my Sims. Can't do that currently, but maybe with milestones we'll be able to.

    @Future In the livestream they showed milestones appearing in a menu! I'm not sure but it might have been one of the menus at bottom right.

    The milestone looks cool. I hope they added milestone for every pack that can use it. Would be nice to get milestone to climb Mt Komorebi or first trip to spa or for Get Famous.

    I heard there is occult milestone 🙂

    I hope they are better, I have loved sims a long time and have always been good with as long as I can play, the bad isn't an issue. However I remember some game breaking bugs with damaged memories I remember if a Sim had something wrong like a kid getting one that only an adult would have that was leading to Uninstall re-install corruption 😆 . Excited to see how it goes.

    I really liked the feature so far. My sims auto remembered some things they did in High School years!

    They did forget some other things they did that I think are milestones but I guess the game wasn’t made to keep track of them back then.

    I think this is the best time to make new sims!
