@Sharonia I dont even see whats realistic about sims 3 graphics. It looks dated and has for a long time. It's also very shoddy texture wise. Not sure how anyone can glean realism from those lifeless doll eyed sims either.
Not that 'realism' is a complete necessity in a game (I actually like it Sims games aren't photo realistic), but the following never ceases to frustrate me playing Sims 4.

Of course it will be all in the eyes of the beholder and it will come down to personal preference, but this comparison doesn't lie. The approach of 3 is clearly aiming for some level of realism, where Sims 4 is not (and in this case in a pretty bad way at that, which baffles me, since it's the successor).
As for the doll eyed sims, that's just how you create them. When you give them puffy cheeks and high surprised eyebrows and deep, round eyes (the way EA did the puddingface, all sliders at 0), then they indeed look like dolls. That's not necessary though. Besides, you can use CC and then Sims 3's texture is your friend.
