Nope, if you set the graphics options in Sims 3 to all high settings, they are just as good as those in Sims 4.
No, they don't and this is the main reason why I quit Sims 3 - trash graphics. Terrible lighting as well. But we can go back and forth forever like this...
@CK213 Yes I understand what you mean and yes, Sims 4 textures have less detail and are more smooth (in some close-ups of objects and patterns can even be considered slightly blurry but it's a stretch to say the whole game's textures are blurry because on the whole they're not.) "Blurry textures" has the connotation that something is wrong with them visually. That they've been exported badly, too compressed or just stretched out too much. I will make an (extremely) quick drawing to demonstrate what I mean.
Pupil with few details, smooth. This is what Sims 4 aesthetics are.

This is a blurry texture of a pupil. yes it's exaggerated but it's obviously not the same thing.

And this is a more detailed pupil. It doesn't mean "better graphics" having more details just makes it a different style, and a matter of taste.
