I would think that with how your other sims continue to grow in TS3 when you're not playing them, that it would be more important than ever to have memories in tact.
I couldn't agree more! I loved looking at my memories and striving to create new ones. You could then upload your family for everyone to download and see the life of your sim through thier memories.
I completely agree. Memories were one of my favorite parts of TS2. I really hope they bring them back. I think that is my biggest disappointment with the whole game. Hope EA is listening.
