Which graphic style do you prefer Sims 3 or 4?

I don't know really, I quite like bits of both. Sims 4 I like the bright colours and the way the sims look, but in sims 3 I love the scenery and the water, some worlds like sunlit tides are beautiful in my opinion.

I'm the same, brackencat. I find Isla Paradiso absolutely amazing, I love the water effects in Sims 3. But then theres something very calming about Willow Creek.

I definitely like the Sims 4 style better. To me it seems more cohesive than previous games. I feel like it's easier to make sims look different, they all kind of looked the same to me in TS3. And I definitely agree with you about the uncanny valley - definitely something to steer clear of!

I LOVE the comic style of sims 4. I think it looks so much better than sims 3, especially the sims themselves.

Sims 4 graphics are better but I prefer Sims 3 art style myself. It isn't completely realistic but it suggests it is. It makes reality a little bit better so to speak. Sims 4 is further away from reality and some will prefer that, I don't.

I don't agree Sims 3 moves into uncanny valley. The definition of uncanny valley is "a hypothesis in the field of aesthetics which holds that when features look and move almost, but not exactly, like natural beings, it causes a response of revulsion among some observers." For me that's for instance the taxi driver in GTA when he looks over his shoulder.

He gives me the creeps. Like Yul Brynner did in Westworld (a film that handles about robots that get on the loose). I know CC can make sims in 3 (and 2 for that matter) highly realistic and therefore maybe uncanny, but that's a matter of choice. The vanilla game is far from uncanny, it's just not realistic enough for that.

What I prefer in Sims 3 (and I know it's the opposite for others), is that it looks more 'crispy'. It all seems a bit more mellow and 'sweet' in Sims 4. I can imagine someone prefers that (like people prefer different music styles) but I don't.

Sims 4 all the way imo. I don't like how most of the sims looked in TS3, but I love the cartoony style TS4 has and how the sims look c:

I like the style of the Sims themselves in Sims 4 better, but Sims 3 worlds can be so beautiful, especially in the snow. Sims 4 worlds are beautiful too (I like the vibrancy) but there's something about the realism of the Sims 3 worlds that just really works.

Sims 3 for me, i find that apart from the lighting TS4 just looks somehow cheap.

I love TS4 style a lot. As for TS3 sims I still think that the piggish looks and the pudding faces were really horrible. The worlds in TS3 were nice but the sims were horrible and the randomization was a nightmare.

The result of using the randomizer is really horrible

A big problem of TS3 is also the sims in CAS has that shine to them, faces, clothing, eyes and hair but once you put them in the world they get the vampire eyes. I don't like that. TS2 and TS4 do not act the same way.

@TheSimer how do you save selfie pictures?

I like TS4 much better, by the way. Everything looks so vivid and the sims doesn't look like play-doh with dead expressions. But I really liked Sims 3 worlds and object details.
