I voted for realism, because I want my Sims looking like little people.
I want a game where not only the emotions and interactions between the Sims will be improved (from Sims 2 and Sims 3) but the art style, too. I want moving hair, curtains which swing in the wind if the window is open, truly wet Sims when it´s raining.... I want more detail in the grass and the trees, in the structure of the textures and patterns!
I don´t understand why this is seen as uncanny valley! Are people not able to distinguish between a game they are playing and reality? Do people really think about this pixel characters as "somehow real people" and think that realistically Sims are what? Alive???
I really don´t get the argument that The Sims were always meant to be cartoonish as well. Who said that?
I think that the Sims in Sims 2 just look as cartoonish as they do is attributabled to the specs of the computers a decade ago! If they were able to create more realistic looking Sims at that time I think they would have done them! Just the programs hindered them!
So saying that the Sims were meant as cartoonish pixel people is just an argument to defend the awful art style they´ve chosen for Sims 4.
