How do you like your sims to look???? if they looked more real would you treat them differently?? Do you treat them and play them the way you do because of the way they look. would you like the option of how they looked. cartoonish, or real as real as some other games make them look. or would you like them to look more cartoonish?? Lets hear your point of view??? Personally I would like them to look more real. what about you??? i wouldn't mind investing my time in their simulated lives if they looked real, and i wouldnt delete them or change them as often as i do. Or at all.

I wouldn't want sims to look like real human beings, because they're not to me. I very much like the art style of TS4, its cartoon'ish, but not too much. And no matter how much I love TS1-3, 4 just looks better to me. I want my sims to be goofy and weird, I'm not looking for realism in sims at all. 100% realistic sims would be too weird for me.

No, I prefer the cartoony style. I think the game would lose all it's charm if they made the sims look more realistic.

I prefer the more cartoon style of the Sims 2 and 4 personally.

I like the more realistic look, and less extreme expressions. If they ever make a sequel then I don't think that they should go with the "clay hair" at least. And maybe also smaller heads, some of their premade sims have really large heads.

I've seen some amazing realistic-looking sims created with CC (the ones with clay hair instead of alpha were especially gorgeous) but I prefer to keep mine cartoonish :) I wouldn't mind a more realistic switch in the sims 5 though.

I don't care for over-realism, when games are like that it just feels like it's trying too hard to be realistic. I like the artstyle of Sims 4 and I always keep my game maxis match because I like the look of it. If they brought a different graphics style for the next sims game I wouldn't be mad though.

When Sims 4 came out, my knee-jerk reaction was unhappy because I wanted more realistic, but the cartoon-ness has really grown on me. "Realistic" gets outdated-looking really quickly as graphics improve, so all that realistic cc from the Sims 3 days doesn't look as impressive anymore. The cartoony style from Sims 4 still looks cartoony, like it did several years ago. I doesn't look quite as dated as it actually is, so I'm voting not-real. Not that realistic isn't beautiful, it is, but what they did seems to have worked out.

I would love to see Sims with a photorealistic art style, but it may feel weird playing it. Still, I’d like to see what it looks like.

It depends on what my playing style is at the moment. In general, I would want my Sims to look as real as possible (moreso than they do now), but in some instances, I will intentionally disfigure them in CAS to look odd, and sometimes even non-human

I do not like the sims cartoony look and clay hair .... AT ALL!

That was one of my biggest gripes when I first saw TS4.

I prefer a little more realistic looking sims and worlds, and not the dollhouse style they chose to go with. I don't want photorealistic sims that look like a real person like some games have, but definitely more real without that ugly playdough hair.
