Some memories should be that special for a sim, and the importance of these memories depends on their traits.  Like the sim in the above idea is a green thumb sim, and let's say an outdoors sim would enjoy fishing with his kids, since his father fished with him.

Ooh, this is a super awesome idea. This could bring a more family like atmosphere to the sims. Also say a sim totally clashed with his father so they never got to share the fishing experience together. This could depress the father and cause tension between the two sims. FAMILY DRAMA!!

And then, on that Sims birthday, their friend will rememeber that and buy them something green, like a green shirt or jumper (sweater, to most of you). I just thought that would be rather cute.  {unsure}

Maybe sims wouldn't be able to remember the different favorites of other sims...but we could. We are the ones picking gifts for others. That would add a little bit of a challenge. Then once a sim receives the gift he will see its his favorite and be really happy. Actually I guess sims should be able to remember these things, since we want our sims townie friends to get appropriate gifts. I suppose every item should just have info on it like color, kind of style (diva, stylish, casual, plain, hideous) and any other specs you guys can think of. Then sims would be able to recognize their favorite color, but if its a trendy item.
