I feel that Sims 4 is a nice balance of cartoony and realistic.
Sims 2 had a pretty good balance as well.
Sims 3 was a little too realistic, and didn't really seem to fit in the Sims series. However, the color wheel, and the ability to create designs is something I really like.
I like a bit of realism, but not so much that it falls into uncanny valley. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a nice cartoony style, but also has a touch of realism as well.
Kingdom Hearts has a cartoony style as well, but it is realistic enough as well. Plus, it deals with Disney characters, so it fits that is a bit catoony.
So, I kind of like both styles, but a nice mixture of both.
