I absolutely LOVE The Sims 4 style much better. I think it definitely suits the game better. 3 was much too realistic looking for me and I wasn't excited about 3 as much as I was about 4. I think 4 is very beautiful in terms in smoothness especially on the Sims themselves. I hated how every single piece of "fabric" in 3 looked extremely plasticy and I love that 4 actually has the right textures to things like sweaters, in that aspect they feel a lot more real than 3. I'm also not a fan of the stringy/feathery hair in 3 but I'm not really a fan of the extremely leafy hair of some of the styles in 4.
The landscaping in 4 is also a lot more lush and fuller in my opinion. Every single inch of the neighborhood is full of life and greenery whether it's bushes or a pathway or a flower. Everything in 4 is so bright and colorful and lively. I really love that about a game. 3 felt so barren to me, I wasn't a fan of it, it almost made it feel kinda lonely at points. I do miss, though, how in 3 when you grabbed a plant and placed it and the next one would be of varying size and on a different angle than the one before it.
So, both games had their pros but 4 has much more than 3 for me, I guess I just wasn't a fan of the super realistic look they were trying to go for. Especially when many of the textures just didn't work. 4 might be my favorite~ :3
