I used that picture to show that it is not fair to comparer the sims 3 with cc to sims 4 as so many people do that.

Agreed.

This is one of the farest comparison between games I have ever seen

True! I really don't like how TS3 sims look. Still love the look of TS2 sims a lot more. Even and especially without CC.

Btw: When looking at the Bella images, I have to asked, why did they make her so "pale" in this iteration? Did anybody noticed the difference between Cassandra TS4 version and TS2 version? I loved her original look.... well.

I noticed that, I wonder why EA did that, probably for the same reason the changed the Caliente family.

Why are people who create Sims so afraid to actually make them look like they did in a previous game? I find that very disappointing when people have the talent to do it, they just won't. Example, this picture of Cassandra has a totally different face shape and eye placement than the Cassandra from TS4. Why won't anyone actually give Cassandra in the TS4 a longish face shape like she has in the TS2 and closer placement of her eyes? than the short, squished up round face of this TS4 Cassandra? You know, I guess this is the fault of my art teacher many years ago, who kept telling me 'draw what you see'....over and over that was her advice to me during my two year course with her.

That must have sunk in somehow, because I see the TS2's Sim's face is a total different shape than the Sim in the TS4 as Cassandra. Not picking on anyone, but if people want me to be under the illusion the Sim from a past game is this Sim in the new game, then they are going to have to at least not just make it look like some distant representation, (which could be any other Sims with a different hairstyle) and at least get the face shape, the nose, the brow bone, and the cheeks correct.

But everyone can blame that on my art teacher who helped me win a first prize for all counties in a state competition when drawing a portrait for that state competition. It never left me...draw what you see.

Anything > the way TS2 sims looked. I hated, hated the way they looked. Their eyes and noses were atrocious. Thank god for cc.

Sims 3 were a little dead in the eyes but they didn't look bad. I prefer the look of the sims 4 people. Not to mention CAS is much better in sims 4. After awhile the computer generated townies all looked the same. My game only produced overweight dark skinned people with white hair. Sims 2 looks just ugly with the big eyes and... Outdated graphics but they where good for when the game was released.

If you hate TS2 sims, why do you have them as your avatar?

I think they both look great with CC. EA made sims tend to look bad in both, but I have seen player made TS3 sims which look great, too. Player made TS2 sims also look much better than EA made ones. They really got a bit out of hand with the noses and mouths on the TS2 premades, some are downright scary.

lol, I thought this.

She said she hated the way they looked originally, without CC, her avi is using tons of CC that's why she likes it :p

Neither TS2 or TS3 sims looked great without CC, but I'll always prefer TS2 sims to the weird squishy TS3 sims. IMO, no amount of CC can make TS3 sims look good, whereas for TS2 I've downloaded some custom skin tones (not the weird "realistic" shiny ones, they're Maxis Match but just in more shades) and a bunch of custom face templates. Combine with some Maxis-match CC eyes and you suddenly have the power to make sims that all look different without having to use those weird huge knobbly noses or massive Goopy lips.

I think the CC talk is a moot point anyway. Every sims game has horrible skins and demon eyes, I don't know anyone that doesn't use default skins or eyes in TS2 or TS3. That's the second thing 99.9% of new players are googling (the first thing is finding the censor remover).

The real difference is in the details. TS2 had better tools for the face, it doesn't matter how many sliders are there in TS3, if you can't make an ugly sim that will stay ugly in the game, what's the point. TS3 had better tools for the body, in TS2 you were stuck with skinny or fat.

True.

Because this one has cc? Logic please.

So does this mean you like TS2 sims with CC better than TS3 sims (with CC)?
