Sims 5 will have a realistic style!

Sounds like the clothes at least will be realistic…?

I hope the models are still in the semi-cartoony style like past Sims games (Sims 2/3), though.

I hope it isn’t overly cartoony….. I don’t think dying of laughter was a very good addition to the Sims 4.

Ew, please no. Overly realistic graphics can be downright creepy.

The more realistic, the better imho. B)

I hope not! I love the art style of TS4!

I personally prefer a more realistic art style for most of the games I play, but in the case of the Sims series I think it's more likely to be a very stylized kind of realism they seek for the future, similarly to how it has been in the past and present. Not that the character or item models would necessarily appear exactly the same, but possibly an updated version of similar styling. I hope they mean that they want more realistic and varied detailing for them, though.

Are we sure that is for the next "The Sims" game? Isn't Maxis currently working on some other game?

Anyway, if it was indeed for TS5 (or whatever it will be called), I would like a little more realistic-ish stuff

• Actual eyelashes, no thick sharpie drawn on black lines
  
• Eyebrows that actually look like hair
  
• Hair that's not playdough looking
  
• Meshes that have actual detailing and not painted on fake details, such as buttons and zippers, and folds and pockets
  
• Normal sized objects that reflect the appropriate size as their RL version does (you know end tables that aren't taller than a sofa, no microscopes that are ginormous, cupcake baking thingy that is, you know, the size of an actual small appliance, etc)
  
• Fingernails that are actually on the skin, none of this completely blank nail beds
  

I hope this is true the more realistic the better I really don't like the art style poor details like black lines for eyelashes, playdoh hair and the color choices they went with on Sims 4.

As long as it doesn't look like Sims 3 - the sims mostly - I will be okay with realistic. They could do some amazing things with the Unreal Engine - and most games out there have a realistic look about them, without going into uncanny valley.

I hope it's not true. I don't like games with a "realistic" style. The more "realistic", the creepier they look.
The dead stares, the stiff faces, the waxy complexion... :s Guácala.
The sims we got now are about my limit in terms of how real they look.
