I hated TS3's pudding faces but you there's absolutely nothing you can say about the level of detail that went in that game. I'm not talking about art style, I mean the detail... here's a screenshot I took a couple of days ago:

and a link if you want to look at it in greater detail: http://i.imgur.com/CUnFShY.jpg
Here is the TS4 version:

A close up of Them both, clearly sims 4 is superior in every way -_-
edit: recently I'm unable to post anything that still has the photobucket link :/

Simple, one is taking advantage of high-end hardware and engine and the other is trying to make a game that will run on a 10 year old granny computer *save lots of work too!*"LaAbby;13372328" wrote:

Yeah, play-doh hair wallpaper backgrounds, plastic eyes, wacky animations ....
That's exactly why custom content works for many of us. If you don't like what Maxis made, start looking at how very talented and creative our community is here in Sims world. Honestly, if I had to play any of the sims games out of the box, I would have quit long, long ago.
Here are two sims I'm playing now. They are so cute and look exactly like I like to play them. No one has to play what Maxis makes...EVER!
I am using CC, but there's no CC for backgrounds :disappointed:
Also, even though CC is the answer for some of us, not everyone likes using CC or Mods ...
I wouldn't mind using it in 4, but it just won't help. Because it's their facial expressions I dislike. That constant smile and the eyebrows jumping up and down (more up than down).- ck21311 years agoLegend

@CK213 @Vlaxitov: After TS4 was announced, I had hopes that it would look like my TS3 game did with CC. When I saw the first renders and screenshots I was horrified. No amount of CC can truly save the game for me, even though I like the variety it gives me in style and design, simply because it looks so out of place in the world EA created.
@Darkling
Yeah, and I am fighting it every step of the way to adjust the imbalance that my realistic sims are causing.
It's a battle that I can't win, but I delight in making over the game anyway. >:)
Case in point: Cartoon bricks.
Even TS2 didn't have bricks this cartoonish. My Sims, yes. TS2, no.



She needs more realistic bricks... and clouds. :*

I don't see the point of this thread, bashing graphics because it's a different style is stupid. Sims 4 is more cartoony, this can be a good or bad thing depending on the person. I personally prefer the cartoony look, but I can also see why people prefered The Sims 3 look. The Sims 3 can look pretty if done right, the Sims 4 can also look pretty if done right. The Sims 4 can look ugly if done wrong, the Sims 3 can also look ugly if done wrong.
Both styles have their pros and cons, but one isn't better than the other.
You guys are basically comparing apples to oranges. They are just very different styles, one is realistic, the other is cartoony.
my problem is not style but quality i dont have any problem with cartoon like sims, but low quality graphics anger me a lot when we are on 2015 and the game was made in 2014 and have graphic quality of 2000s, that my concern, we are on the 4 iteration of the game the minimum they must make is give a high quality animation game, if blizzard can update a 2004 game to top 2014-2015 graphic quality why maxis can't??? serious i dont get this "low ending peoples" unless that simmers peoples living in the poverty line i dont see none being able to afford at last a 2010 or 2011 pc quality, have a thrid generation I5 or something like that c'mon i my country where we have one of the worst taxes in the world, where we pay the double or even the triple of prices have a "average" pc is something very common and "cheap in a sense" of price, or we buy on sales or credit, again if in my country brazil where we have a lot of corruption, poverty and others problem have a "average pc" is not a pipe dream why in usa or others better countries peoples are still stucking in use 2000s pcs, where the prices compared with my country are literally "almost free".
just a exemple in my country the sims 4 shipped costing 140 buckets the deluxe edition (2x the usa price) 140 buckets here is a big deal is not something you give so "easy in a game"(now since the sales are pretty bad of sims 4 in my country the price dropped to 99,99 and still "high".) specially in a game so bad made, while in other hand sims 3 is completly vanishing from the shops i'm having very hard time in complete my collection i'm missing now supernatural and paradise island to complete it."Senbre;13372478" wrote:

yeah we get a toaster/calculator quality game, because somehow a good amount of simmers can't afford to pay for a "average pc" and are still playing on they 486 or something like that then we are being leveled to down, because is really more easy make a cheap game for peoples play in calculators than try to make high quality game.
that is when come my big anger if in order to play better games i go to the lengs of buy a better pc(making sacrifices to do it) then i'm waiting for a game to pay for what a expend i dont want to go back in time to play a new game this is non-sense logic i never see this before only in maxis/ea i see this happen for the first time in my life.
a good exemple is simcity despise the fiasco due to online mode, you dont see the game graphic quality "decrease" with each new game generation, each simcity have better graphic quality than previous game not "worst"."astridentanja;13371971" wrote:

if you just learn how to use sliders and get some nice cc look how beautiful you can make your ts3 sims look
can't do this with ts4
I don't like that sim at all to be honest. What happened to her nose...? And my mouth looks like that when I've been ice skating for six hours.
Sims in 3 can look totally allright without cc, not pudding face to say the least. The rest is preference.
What I don't get is how people keep calling sims in 3 pudding face, when it's the sims in 4 that all look similar and have very dull skins.
its supposed to be nose blush and lip gloss...giving her a fresh-faced look. it's just her style and i love her style and so do tons of other people but w/e"Scobre;13371929" wrote:
Ok here are my Sims 4 details. It's amazing how just adding CC can change the look of the Sim. This is a default girl that I didn't alter the features at all. Just has the CC overlay. There is no way I can get ombre hair color without a CAST, creating CC myself, or having someone else create CC. First picture is during the day and yes it looks that dark in the game sadly. So yes it's possible to make more realistic Sims with the help of CCs.


Eyelash view:

they don't look that much more realistic tbh. especially in game. they all end up looking the same because of their stupid constant facial expressions they have to make every second.- Scobren11 years agoLegend

Yes I wish there was a mod to change that. XD It like not only do I have to be told what mood my Sims are in, but extreme expressions have to make my Sims feel bipolar too. I have a feeling those expression might be tied to the UI and everything tied to that seems to be harder for modders to tweak. I did hear a tip from a fellow Simmer that by not buying the expensive furniture, the mood swings occur less often when entering a room, so I'll have to try that.
It's not perfect but yes I've added a ton off mods and CCs to my Sims 4 game. I even added different grass because I couldn't stand the look of it. The modder plasticbox has done wonderful work so far on making adjustments to world objects.
It is not 3D, but better than nothing:

I hate the community lots in the game. They remind me of TS2 University ones. So I'll have to try to tear them down and rebuild them myself.
