I wish they would introduce an option to turn memories off 🙁 Damn Error Code 12 at this rate I won’t be able to play Pets, which means having 2 months to seriously upgrade my PC….
I just don’t get the appeal of the Unicorns, they seems like an almost useless after thought. At leasy with Vampires, Mummys and Robots they can be a fun part of daily life in your city, but the Unicorns seem pointless! It can start fires and ‘bless’ sims whoop de woo…
I would have preferred another ‘Sim’ creature like a werewolf, maybe one that turned into a wolf (dog) once a month or something. At least I can see the fun in that…
I think you can turn them off in the Game Options screen. Idk, but look there.
