How do I get a family re-union memory?
cwykes:
Family re-union memories used to be really easy in base game. Just invite the family over and you'd have family re-union memories everywhere. Pescado had a hack to stomp on them (noreunionmemories?) and fix the buggy code that spawned blank memories around the hood. The hack was discontinued as of NL patch 2, but either something awesome is still stomping on the memories or I'm missing something about the current version of the "scenario".
So, what do you actually have to do to get a family re-union memory?

Opinion is divided on this one.
Some say you need 10 family members present at the party, but I disagree.
Inviting family members who live on another lot seems to be essential.
What I personally believe is the crucial issue, is having three generations of family members present at the party. I was trying to get the reunion memory and made my sims get married as I thought it would help if the producers-of-grandchildren were married. There was one (adopted) child at the party, and my sims got the reunion memory at the wedding party, there was no need to have another party.
I was playing with all EPs and the zip file of MATY hacks.

You definitely don't need 10 family members, because I had reunion memories with less.
I am also not so sure about the three generations, at least you don't need grandparents. Three different age groups could be right though. One memory dates from a graduation party, with the parents, students and younger teenage siblings.
It's the Brokes, they get reunion memories every time they have a birthday party. They don't get them when only Dustin and his wife (who is the daughter of Brandi's husband) come over for a visit.

Wait, how did the game allow that? ???
EDIT: Sorry, wasn't thinking. I assume Brandi re-married, then?

Not so hard really - My one playable sim in one hood married a CAS townie, who was created with a CAS daughter. He now is an elder and has the hots for both mother and daughter. The daughter does not list as family for him, but is family for any of the other spawn of that marriage. There is a bit of an "ewww" factor, I admit, which is why I have set ACR settings to "spouse only" for him.
Meanwhile, fiancee of one brother is actively also pursuing the other brother as well (she dated both of them in Uni), which is OK cos the other brother is engaged to someone else and has hots for her and the original fiancee. Confused? You won't be after the next revealing episode of "Soap".
I should just say that I have had 3 generation parties before and do not recall ever getting a family reunion memory. I would check on that, except that I find the memory system to be more or less irrelevant (except to count "best friends" or "woohoos" for LTW purposes).
