Photographic Memory 2.0
🕑 Added 2021-09-22 10:08:13 +0000 UTCCreating better memory and photo options for simmies have always been a huge goal of mine. Photo objects are by far the biggest challenge I have ever encountered. Not only is the coding difficult, but the objects themselves are confusing to figure out. But thanks to each and every one of you, I have been able to grow and improve my skill set over the past 10 months allowing me to create the Photographic Memory Mod 2.0!
This new and improved version has been a WIP for months, but making the Ink For Yourself Journals really motivated me to get this finished! The original Photographic Memory was released in January and let you create two styles of prints (portrait and landscape) from any photo object. The Photographic Memory Mod 2.0 builds on this idea and adds so much more! With tons of new photo objects, improved UI, and customization interactions the options are endless!
I will be doing a livestream this Sunday at 2 PM MDT showcasing all of the features. And if you have any questions before then let me know!
In true fashion, below are the over-explained details!

I'm dead. This is EVERYTHING. I always forget to do formal photo shoots and this is AMAZING -- plus I've been using the journal nonstop since I downloaded it (genius. adds such dimension to be writing dialogue in my sims' voices -- makes their characters that much clearer to me and gives me a legacy document) and this will enhance it SOO much!!! THANK YOUUUUU. xoxoxo
Yayyy I LOVE this. <3
Eipi
Absolutely genius!!!!!
Seeo
My goodness This is incredible!! Why aren't EA kidnap you still now? 🧐 I think they are maybe blinds.
Doranne Bunch
Wow! This is amazing! I was so excited to see you had finished this cc. I cannot wait to use it in my game. So exciting! Thank you! :)
Gina Waters
how do you use this? is this an object or will a menu pop up on items that use photos? Im confused.
Christina West
This looks awesome!! On the subject of photos, is there any way that you know of to include screenshots as photos?
Leigh Bennett
You are truly so brilliant - I was telling a (non-simming) co-worker about you this morning. Look at you! You're the topic of water cooler talk! This is a mod I will definitely use every time I play. You went above and beyond any expectation I had when you first mentioned it. I know I keep saying Maxis should hire you but I've decided they don't deserve you! Only we can love you for all your worth. :-D Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us and making this game so amazing. <3 OH! A story before I go... my ex-husband used to tell people I had a "photogenic memory". I still laugh about it and "default" to that even though I know better. When I saw the name of this new mod, I momentarily thought you'd misspelled it. [mad cackling]
Eva
Jeej! I love adding photos to my sims’ houses and lives, thanks for making this! Can I also create a photo from an image created by the snapshot function? That would be te absolute cherry on the ice cream :) you rock, thanks for making my sims awesome!
Azuhra
This looks so useful! I lived the first version for this mod. The idea that I can swap images to paintings and cross stitch frames too? That is brilliant! Also, this may require a pinup photo for a pinup calander, but you didn't hear it from me 😁 Thank you for this!
Wendy Hubble
Wow. This looks wonderful. I was just hoping for something like this as I was photo journaling my sim's way through the Strangerville saga. I may have to go back and do it again just so I can use this.

I can't wait to try this - the original mod is incredible, this takes it to a whole new level. Thank you so much :)
