I MUCH prefer the textures of the towns and objects in TS3. And worlds like Sunlit Tides and Monte Vista can take my breath away. The towns in TS4 are okay but they lack the depth and realism of the ones in TS3.
While I had no problem making Sims in TS3 that looked the way I wanted them to (never understood the "pudding face" complaint), I do think the Sims in TS4 are much more expressive and fun. I wish there was a way they could have combined the more realistic faces with the great expressiveness.
