Can you disable automatic memories?

I have recently been playing sims 3 including all expansions so far. Generations has memories, which is great, except that everything seems to be a memory. Every time the game come up with a memory, I just click on the close button. For some reason, it gets added to my scrap book. I like the memories that I add to it, but it takes forever to delete the unwanted memories, because you need to delete them one at a time.

Is there anyway to keep from having this problem, such as a disable button?

Solution 1:

something i forgot: no you can't turn them off.

in short go to the options screen: pick the wheels symbol (third symbol from left). on the left side is a enable memories checkbox notification(or disable it).
