Sliders. And in this case a default CC skin. Liking the art style or not is preference, but the right guy is not a plastic potatoe, that’s a human face. I’ve always liked/loved my sims in Sims 3, their looks, so I don’t quite get why people keep bringing that up as if it’s some objective argument. And even if they were all ugly, how does that improve Sims 4?
CC skin. That's the difference. And my Sims still looked like pudding, no matter what I did. I have no hand-eye coordination, and can't be bothered with updating cc and mods with every patch, so it's nice to be able to create a decent Sim in a few minutes. So yes, that's an improvement over frustrated attempts to create a Sim that was never going to look the way I wanted her to look. CAS is part of the game, and it's much easier to use in S4 than it was in S3.
The original point, though, is that graphics do matter. I want my life-simulator to look somewhat lifelike - otherwise, you might as well be playing a text-only game. If I've got a plant, I want it look like a plant, not a patch of green pixels. And again, I don't think that's necessarily a mark against Paralives - it's early stages yet, and you need graphics and animation artists for that part. On the other hand, you also need the game play, and it hasn't shown any of that, either.
