They move and behave in silly childish ways which does not look well with alpha.
You see, these things that you dislike are things I personally like about TS4 and its graphics. I love TS4's art style and to me its like, one of the only things it gets right over the other games.
The Sims 3 is a good game, but man, the sims are uncanny and ugly to me, with the exception of a few if their features are made exactly right (i.e. Gunther Goth is pretty). The more plastic kind of look to the sims, making them doll like, eases that and makes them more fun to me. It allows them to be expressive and cartoony, and allows for more silly and ridiculous animations and scenarios - though EA hasn't done much with this.
To add, it means that fantasy based CC doesn't look ridiculous or creepy, and things can be easily transferred from more cartoony games or shows. I.E. I use a model rip of Illidan's horns in my game. I don't think it would like right in a realistic game like TS3, nor a game full of alpha CC, because Illidan's model is so cartoony.
