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.

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.
> @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.
Nice! Thanks
I heard there is occult milestone 🙂
All the sims err'day
So far so good.
All the sims err'day
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!
