Yes, I too hope at some point an ultra extreme setting comes along and ups the poly count. The only other EA game I have is Plants vs Zombies, a great example of cartoony graphics done well - and as mentioned in the previous posts it does take advantage of the newer processors and it looks great on my ridiculously powerful desktop- but it also has the extreme lower end too which is very useful for my less able laptop.
It does seem a bit of an odd thing to have such a low graphics setting- you would have thought being as Simmers like to put their snapped pictures and videos up all over the web ( possibly more than other game players do), all the resulting imagery becomes a great form of publicity and showcase for the game. You would have thought that EA would want these screen grabs to be as high quality at possible to show off their product, surely it would be damaging for their sales if someone came across a blog with someone's story and there was one of those brick squirrels in it complete with disparaging comments.
I personally really like the style of Sims 4 more than the other versions, and their expressions and gestures are great, but I'm more of a cartoony person anyway.
I do think they are going in the right direction in upping the quality though. The extra objects, hair and clothing in the Outdoor retreat pack seem to have a little more detail and care than the previous objects - like this floaty creature for example...

So hopefully, once all the major fixes are in place, something might be done to redress the quality of the old stuff.
