[UPDATED] Tattered Diary (Custom Memories)
Icon | Name | Description | Category | Ver | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Got Fat | Oh no! I shouldn't eat that much... | Personal | v1.1 | Sometimes putting on weight is a sign of depression in my game. | |
Got Fit | All right, back to normal! | Personal | v1.1 | So that Sims working on their looks would remember these vital steps. | |
Got Sick | I feel really bad. Seriously, I need help. Maybe there is some special medicine out there? | Personal | v1.1 | Hinting SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station in the description | |
(Sim) betrayed me! | I can't believe it! Why did (Sim) do this to me?! | Relationship | v1.0 | It used to be a Depression memory, but I decided to change it. This one provides various interpretations for stories. | |
Met Grim Reaper | The last thing I remember is bright white light... | Personal | v1.1 | For ressurected Sims to remember they were dead, lol Why wasn't it there in the first place? | |
Adopted! | I'm happy to have a new family to love! | Family | v1.1 | Now all the adoptees can mark the beginning of their new life. | |
Went to School | It's time for me to study hard and make some friends! | Education | v1.0 | It's an important thing to remember, don't you think? | |
Had a Great Vacation | It was an amazing experience! I can't wait to come back! | ??? | v1.0 | I use this memory to make visual borders of a vacation. | |
Got Pregnant | There's new family member on the way! | Family | v1.0 | Some of my Family sims like to remember when they got pregnant. | |
Joined Secret Society | I can't believe I'm in! I feel so special! | ??? | v1.0 | I always wondered where this one was.. | |
Had a Miscarriage | I lost my baby! I should've taken better care of myself. I'm not sure I want to go on living anymore... | Family | v1.0 | This one was made to replace InTeen's memory, but it works without it. | |
Dropped Out | I guess the college life just isn't for everyone. | Education | v1.0 | This one wasn't present for the actual Sim who drops out, only for his relatives. |
Please let me know what you think about these memories! I'm ready to change anything just comment or PM me
Finally! Finally I've made it!
It was a lot of research and hard work, headache, blind eyes, hungry days and sleepless nights aaaand...
I introduce to you the mod I've always wanted myself. It was the reason I started modding at all! Whoa I'm so happy!
It would be impossible without these MTS creators: Echo, Phaenoh, Michelle, Sophie-David! Thank you!
This mod consists of an object (Tattered Diary) and a bunch of custom memories I've created.
It gives your Sims the opportunity to remember not only roaches or skunks, but the first day at school, for example
Let me show you how it works!
This is the diary in-game. This beautiful object was extracted from BV, cloned and recolored for me by Michelle. Спасибо!
You can find it under Misc/Misc, it costs 0$.
Pie Menus depend on age, e.g. "Went to School" option is children only.
I've put them into directories by Category: Family, Relationship, Education etc.
Attention!
This mod is Base Game compatible, and you're able to add the memory "Joined Secret Society" even if you don't have University EP.
Instructions on updating
If you already have Tattered Diary in your Downloads Folder, delete it completely, with all the memories, then put there version 2.1.
For you convenience the folder, the package file and the diary in-game was renamed to v2.1!
If you've made some memories following my tutorial and find it difficult to link them to Memory Manager, PM me or post in the tutorial thread, I'll help. Do not update in that case!
If this mod is new for you, please read the following information really carefully! Ask if you have any questions.
IMPORTANT
There's no easy way of uninstalling this mod without potential neighborhood corruption. As long as all the files are in your Downloads folder, it's safe to play, but if you decide to uninstall this mod, you should delete all the memories generated with it in SimPE, then clear out all the gossip using BatBox. There's no proof that uninstalling the usual way will hurt your game, but there's no proof that it's safe either.
Please back-up your data and use at your own risk! Thanks for understanding!
There is an issue with my Memory Manager which might affect Tattered Diary as well. Please do not put it into your Sim's inventory. Gummilutt seems to have troubles. I couldn't recreate the issue, and other people report no problems too, but still, use with caution.
UPDATE! Tattered Diary 2.1
- Changelog:
1. Fixed icons for Vacation and Pregnancy memories (no more blur, better textures).
2. Miscarriage and Pregnancy memories are now in two versions - for an active Sim and for a relative.

Family: Parents Broke up (instead of two Maxis same memories for both parents), Sim Left the Family (when parent moves out after break-up), Had a Miscarriage (if you don't have InTeen or to replace its miscarriage memory), Sim Got Pregnant (for family members/friends of a future mother), Put Sim up for Adoption (to pretend child taken away by Social Worker was your idea).
2. Vacation: Became Savvy Traveler (collecting all the mementos).
3. Creature: Released Pollen Cloud on Sim (to use with [Black_Spirit]'s turn into plantsim mod).
4. Education: Graduated High School (pretty self-explanatory).

2. Added new pie-menu group - Relationship.
3. Minor fixes - New Memories (9):

4. Hobby: Gardening, Flower Arrangement (these are more specified than Enthusiasm thingy).
5. Pets: Obtained a Parrot, Obtained a Hamster (available for children and teens). - Bonus Feature:
I love the Conterfeit College Diploma by christianlov, but sometimes I want my pre-uni adults to be expelled or dropped out. I add the memories, but the UI never changes Now fixed!
1. Get the "Expelled" UI under "Education.../College Status.../Expelled"
2. Get the "Dropped Out" UI under "Education.../College Status.../Dropped Out"
Be careful! Once you choose this option, you won't be able to switch back to "Graduated" or "Graduated w/Honours" UI!
UPDATE!
Tutorial on making your own custom memories.
There are 6 memories at the moment, they are:
1) Went to School (children only) - I add this one when toddler grows up to child.
"It's time for me to study hard and make some friends!"
(more pics at the top of the thread)
2) Had a Great Vacation (child-elder) - I don't like the way vacation memories work in game, so at the beginning of the vacation, I add memory "Went to Island" etc, and when sims return, I add this memory because I want "visual borders" of their vacation.
"It was an amazing experience! I can't wait to come back!"
3) Got Pregnant (teen-elder) - sometimes I make my Family sims remember that moment.
"There's new family member on the way!"
4) Joined Secret Society (adult) - I just couldn't understand why they remember greek house and don't remember that?!
"I can't believe I'm in! I feel so special!"
5) Miscarriage! (teen-elder) - I've made it to match InTeen's miscarriage memory (there was only mother's version). Now you can add it to father and other family members too or if don't play with InTeen, you can use it for both parents.
"I don't know will we ever overcome this loss..."
6) Dropped Out (adult) - when my sim drops out of college, all the relatives get the memory "Dropped Out" about him and he doesn't! Fixed!
"I guess the college life just isn't for everyone."
I work on more memories, if you have any creative ideas, feel free to comment or PM me and make requests here!
And please guys subscribe and wait for updates!
I will be improving the mod and updating it a bazillion times.
Make sure you got the last version!
Keep in touch,
~DiLight.

About Me
Here you will find some mods affecting Sim memories and other stuff.
I love playing with memories so this is my #1 passion.
Feel free to PM me anytime, I'm absolutely ok with this.
If you're making a request, keep in mind that I mod only for Sims 2 (cause I play only Sims 2 :D)
and I'm not an advanced modder at all (but it never hurts to ask).
My greatest achievement at the time - tutorial on making custom memories, check it out!
So this is it. Read my journal for more info on my work.
Love you guys!
Keep in touch,
~DiLight.
