Is it me, or are sims getting uglier by the base game?

Seriously. TS1, couldn't help it, but at least they tried. TS2, pretty awesome graphics. TS3, smoothed graphics created an uglier appearance than TS2 (especially TS2 with CC) and now TS4 Sims look like Pixar characters. Not looking forward to the graphics on this game.

I personally think TS3 sims look better than TS2...and definitely better than TS1...so let's see what the new sims really look like before we jump on the "I hate this new thing...the old thing was way better" bandwagon...lol
All I'm saying is, from the one picture they gave us, they look like Pixar versions of TS3 Sims. If that's what they're using to advertise and promote this, they're doing a pretty crappy job. Why are they going for such overdramatized cartoony looks?

Pixar's animation has improved
One of the biggest drawbacks to s3, was that they put most of their effort into the environment and not enough into the actual sims. I think they're going to reverse that this time.

Hit the Like Button - and let me know you liked my story.
I'm happy they took a turn for more cartoonish style. Even if it's not, I see no reason to complain. As long as gameplay is good
Well, that's creepy. I just wish EA went in a different direction with this. Rather than becoming even more cartoony, I'd have much preferred realistic Sims.
They seam to have always done that, but in all honesty they did say within the post that they are going for more of a real style of sorts. So sims4 is hoping to be more like real thing like the new SimCity. but at least they won't make the failure move they did with SimCity xD
They aren't forcing it to be totally online.
My post isn't even about the actual game, I'm skeptical about the game itself but moreover I'm just surprised the Sims look so ugly. You can count the pixels and the square edges in their faces alone. Look at the guy (or girl, I can't tell) with the red hair and you try to tell me that that's a step up from TS2 and TS3. It's horrid.
Fullmetal, I completely understand, I even started a thread about it too, lol. But everyone on my thread, as well as many others are saying that these first glimpses are merely renderings and not indicative of what our Sims will look like in the game.
Plus, I'm sure the community creators will come up with some wonderful skins and eyes to give us the look we are wanting. Don't panic yet, like I did :oops:
You know the biggest problem in ts3, as far as the Sims themselves are concerned, wasn't what they looked like, once we got the custom skins and eyes, their biggest problem was the way they acted and moved. They were like robots rather than "life like" little people.
From everything they said this morning, it sounds like they were addressing those issues and I for one, am looking forward to learning more about it. I'm keeping an open mind now, after this morning when it slammed shut before I got a grip on it, lol!
They creep me out beyond words (Mass Effect 3? No thanks, I'll just sleep in a fetal position)
I've always liked cartoony, funny types sims, and love ts3 sims. Also, from the shot that they gave us( which is literally just half of their faces, come one, how are you really going to judge that? And it's nowhere near done! I just don't get the pessimism) I can barely judge it, but if I truly wanted to, I say the eyes are amazing and I like the direction they're going in. But again, it's almost nothing so take my judgement with a grain of salt, which a lot of people should be doing anyways.
Well for one, what you think is horrid is someone else's beautiful. This is something everyone should consider, even you.
Not everyone likes cartoony joke looking sims either.
My point being, if this is what they're using to advertise TS4 for their announcement, it isn't doing it for me. No, if this is their example of TS4 Sims, no thank you, and a lot of people agree with me. You clearly don't, so you'd probably appreciate another thread that enthuse excitement for TS4.
My problem with The Sims 3's Sims in the beginning was that their faces were too wide. Eventually I came across the skills and mods to make my Sims look more realistic. Now I actually think The Sims 2 Sims look weird, and I consider my avatar on here to look more like me than any of the Sims I made in The Sims 2.
Having said this, I have no doubt, that since my Son and I are such huge Sim fans, we will surely play TS4
I was hoping the TS4 graphics would be far more life-like and advanced than TS3, but they appear to be more like TS2...??? It is hard to tell from what little we have seen of the TS4 sims if I like them or not, I am uncertain.
