digital story book

Okaaay, so I dont know if this idea has been brought up before, or put this way, but I was reading a post about story telling in the general forum and this came to mind while I was working on my comment.

A full blown, exportable digital "book" with the household/neighborhood story, with added screenshots and videos.

Like opening a scrap book with the household's turn of events from their creation to the latest generation, where you get places to stick media clips, and flip pages, and OF COURSE a cute little button to share it with the world so they can read it too if they decide to download that family so they know where their new sims came from and how much work it took to put that family together. I would love that.

> Just imagine having digital "books" with photo albums for each neighborhood and household from the first sim and family you create, thorough the generations since then, how they advance in their careers, the change in values, the new generations and how will they differ from that first sim...

> I think this is the actual problem with storytelling in the sims 4. it's part is so small in the game compared to the new smart sims interactions, that we are not rewarded or being prompted enough to influence the "puppets" by our imagination, It's like we are watching a movie, or a sitcom ( :) ), with so much less contribution to the events.

> I know a lot of people are fine with the occasional video, photo, or their own memories when playing the sims as if it was a dollhouse like the one we give the sim children to grow their skills, but apparently I'm too much of a millennial to imagine myself a story-line without being "rewarded" with a way to log it properly in a "book" to read over later.
