The value of a memory is a relative score of how the memory affects a sim's mood. Positive values improve mood, negative values make it worse. The value of a memory decays towards zero over time. The minimum value is the closest to zero a memory can decay toInitial Value, Minimum Value and Current Value should either all be negative or all be positive; otherwise, a negative memory can have lasting positive effects.

[edit] Data Decoding for Memory Items

Memory items have a typical count of 0x0C (for memories about an object) or 0x0D (for memories about a sim, including the owner) DataWords. The following list shows the structure of the Data:

0x0: Quality (0 = Positive (Green), 4 = Negative (Red))
0x1: Year (seems to start in 1997, or 0 for no date)
0x2: Month (1 to 12, or 0 for no date)
0x3: Day (1 to 31, or 0 for no date)
0x4: Owner Instance
0x5: Subject GUID (low-order 16 bits)
0x6: Subject GUID (high-order 16 bits)
0x7: Initial Value (typical values seen: -100, -75, -50, 0, 50, 75, 100)
0x8: Minimum Value (typical values seen: 0, 5, A)
0x9: Daily Decay (some of the values seen: 25, 42, 96)
0xA: Current Value (absolute value should be between Minimum Value and Initial Value)
0xB: Unknown
0xC: Subject Instance (Optional. Subject Instance should be present when the Subject GUID refers to a sim.)

Notes:

Owner Instance and Subject Instance are the Sim Description SDSC instance number for this sim.

Gossip is a memory where the Owner (in the Memory Data) is not the Sim who owns the NgbhSlot. In this case, the Sim who owns the NgbhSlot has a memory about the Owner.

The Current Value of a memory is a relative score of how the memory affects a sim's mood. Positive values improve mood, negative values make it worse. The Current Value of a memory starts at the Initial Value and decays towards zero over time. The Minimum Value is the closest to zero a memory can decay. Minimum Value and Daily Decay are normally unsigned values; their sign appears to be taken from the Initial Value.
