does it work with patch 1.24?

@Chocobo: I'll just copy my notes about the patch from the overview page:

figured it out

This sounds really really great.

I seem to have a problem though...
I downloaded, unpacked and tried to start the .exe file but it does absolutely nothing.

Edit:
I checked with task manager, it seems to open but it closes before the window could show up. I tried running it as admin too but it's the same.

@Anaria: Which version of Windows are you running? Maybe you're missing some .NET framework libraries.

.NET 3.5 was missing, now it's working.
Thanks

@Anaria: I'm glad it you got it to work. Thanks for letting me know.

hope some one can help please... am I totally missing something??
I download the package file... unzip, but what is the memory_modder.exe??
all i have when i unzip is the velocitygrass_no_automatic_memories.package

no .exe at all... what have i missed please?
i am used to downloading the package files to my mods folder, and they already to go!!
thanks in advance.

@pdnz: If you want the tool to create your own package, you need to download it. It's the TS3_Memory_Modder_Game_Strings.zip. You downloaded velocitygrass_no_automatic_memories.zip, which is a pre-generated package that stops all automatic creation of memories.

thanks great! :D

I am using a macbook and the file wouldnt open for me. Can you tell me if it is compatible or not?

@teeteelouise: The pre-packaged files should work. The program is a .NET program. I think there are ways to get them to work on a Mac with Mono, but I can't say for sure that it works and don't know how to get that running I'm afraid.

I just found a thread to get tools to work on OS X. Maybe one of the options listed there works for you and you can get support if it doesn't.

This is GENIUS!!! Thanks so much--again! When I saw my townies getting memories arounbd me I knew simething was up. I don't want any inactive sims getting memories unless I'm playing them--wth, EA? You're clogging up people's games with this needlessness! I'm trying to get the 200 memories badge, but after I hit 135 my game crashed, and wouldn't upload any more to the site--grrrr....now I'll have to do the last hour of needless memorizations all over again! And my sim just got mauled at the mausoleum, too!

I downloaded the tool, but everytime I try to use it, a message pops up saying that there's an error and it needs to close...I need help!

Thank goodness. This changed my life... Or my Sims' life, at least. Thanks again! :D

@Jeela-Nu: Which OS are you running on? Another user said that .NET 3.5 was missing for them. Could that be the reason?

I've been annoyed by that automatic memory thingy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D

Is there anyway to quickly delete the memories i disabled as ones made before i had this tool!

@Karlissa: Twallan's Master Controller has an option to delete all, duplicate, or imageless memories, but deletion based on the list that this mods creates it's not possible with it. It should be possible to write a mod that does that. I'll make a note of that suggestion.

Thank you!

Hey there. I just wanted to check and see if anyone more Mono-savvy than me (which wouldn't be hard) had gotten the tool to run with Mono. When I attempt it, I get the error "Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException: No access to the given key". There are a bunch of references to the datatype "Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey", so I'm guessing the application is trying and failing to reach something in the Windows registry.

Failing that, I have a Windows-using friend who has the same expansions I do. Can I run the tool on her computer and produce a package file that I can install on my Mac, like the "Only Important Memories" posted here?

Thanks so much for this! I'm using "Only Important Memories" now, and it's such a lifesaver. But it seems like the longer you use something great, the more you want to tweak it .

- Gay marriage in the screenshots! Yay!! -

Thanks for sharing this! Great idea ^^

@echoweaver: Sorry, I still haven't looked further into the Mono issue. If you have a friend who can create a package for you on a Windows machine, you can use that package on your Mac.

@Loolitah: I like to use my main Sims 3 couple for my screenshots :D

Hey, I was wondering if you plan to update this mod when the Pets expansion comes out. This mod is a life saver, and with Pets having memories...ughh. -.- I'm really hoping you would! I dunno how I'll play the game without this. o.o

@CatCreature: I just checked and the tool should work fine with Pets. I've updated the "no automatic memories" flavor of the ready-made packages. The "only important memories" will come at a later point, though anyone can manually update it with the tool.

I've added quick instructions in the latest update message in the overview.
