- LadyGray01Seasoned HotshotEven though the graphics are not technically as good in a lot of ways, there are so many details and touches that are lacking from 3&4 somehow.
- I remember thinking TS2 graphics were still pretty good. Booted it up after playing a lot of TS3 and found my memory had just tricked me. TS2 was great at the time but I don't think it has aged well - the gameplay is still solid though!
- I like when video games look like video games. The later games I loved for gameplay and content, but none could beat the original for graphics. They were trying too hard to look like us, and not like video game characters.
- For the scenery I prefer Sims 3.
- Thanks for everyone's responses so far. It's interesting to read everyone's reasoning and I'm surprised to see that the Sims 3 isn't winning by a landslide (although it is still winning). I personally don't have a preference, which is why I made this poll but I can see a point for all of the games.
The Sims 1, to me still looks pretty good, isometric games look better to me then early 3d games. Although I definitely think some aspects like the Sims aged worse than in 2 or 3. @XnexusnyxX makes a good point too. When games try to look too realistic it ends up looking worse as it ages and can sometimes look uncanny/creepy later on.
The Sims 2 also looks great for it's age when I can get it to run correctly with new graphics card. There's a ton of movement and details in the world maps that you don't get in the newer games. I'd argue that that the Sims look the worse in this game, but I never liked the design so it could be a bias.
The Sims 3 definitely has amazing backgrounds and I think they look amazing still. The Sims are a bit too realistic so they aren't aging as well as if they had been more cartoon like, but they still look decent compared to other games. I think they look better than 2 Sims.
It will be interesting to see how the Sims 4 ages compared to 5 if they ever make it. - Sims 2, definitely. I hate the Sims 3 faces, and Sims 4 is just way too cartoony.
- I've always liked the color scheme of the original the most.
- OldeSimsFanNew TravelerTS2 It may be old but the graphics are still good - sims are much better than either 1 or 3 (hair even moves), unlike in 4 you can get close to walls & floors and they still look believable, objects have amazing detail - even in places where you wouldn't expect it, map view is more detailed and is customizable. Snow looks like snow and has depth. It still delivers the goods even after 15 years.
