If you’re happy with 10 game packs, 8 EP’s and TWENTY FOUR stuff packs, you’re nuts.
I hope it ends ASAP and somebody, ANYBODY, makes a real sims game. I’m quite happy to forget TS4 entirely.

After Seasons and a Tropial Vacation Destination I think I'll be ready for TS5. Hopefully no lifestates are left out of the base game.
TS5 must be realistic, if it's released in 2020 or 2021 as predicted then it'll be ridiculous if it's cartoony style, by that time technology will much more advanced and they don't have to keep coping with people with older PCs, they can still play older Sims..
TS5 must be like TS3 but with better graphics and much better animation (TS3 animations were very robotics and horrible even with smoother animation on)
There is a difference between Art Style and Graphics. The sims was always meant to be cartoony and whimsical, the more realistic graphics we get the creepier it gets. If sims 5 suddenly got GTA styled graphics or something then that's the day I quit the sims series.
I on the other hand might pick it up again :mrgreen: Though I agree a more stylized art style suits the game better (and I get the same vibes from those examples as you) but for me, I rather have it leaning towards realism than towards cartoon.
P.s. Sims 3 is as stylized as Sims 4 by the way, just not cartoony.
Sims 3 has beautiful lansacapes, especially for 2009 graphics. I dislike the sims appearance, particularly the males, but that is a personal taste thing.
Sims 3 also isnt border line super realistic, there is a lot of cartoony ness still there, I just feel a lot of the base game animations are robotic since they were mostly copy pasted from sims 2.
They really stepped up their animation game later in development though.
Animation is my least favorite part of sims 3 so I try not to focus on that when I'm playing. I'm specifically talking about how sims don't fluently switch from one to another. In sims 2 and I think the animations tend to flow smoothly into each other. Sims 3 they return to the starting position and then do the next one. Was awful to see that after playing sims 2 again and going back to 3.
