The graphics in the sims 4 aren't worse, they are just more stylized. Anyway, if that bothers you, then a bit of custom content should fix that right up.
Having a fun game mostly free of bugs should be the main focus of your game.

Actually, I think TS4 is targeted at YA casual gamers rather than kids; hence RPG-ish directed play for quick pay-offs to match quick gaming sessions rather than extended legacy/family play preferred by older simmers.
All of the things you listed...I don't see how that makes the game for kids...they're just choices which have been made. By the way the graphics aren't bad, they are a vast improvement on the sims 3! It's just the art style people don't like...people have been getting these two things confused a lot.
Not sure how any of that it tied to making it more of a child's game, though it's true, I don't care much for the way the hair looks or the fact that a lot of the shoes look like they were made of 1" thick plastic.
They do, however, seem to have been advertising to the younger crowd with all the "awesome", "bros" and downtalking
Id be lying if I said I liked the changes from S3 to S4, after all going from a open world to a more closed in one like in S1 and S2 does appear to be a step back. Along with CAST which did lag whilst loading up the patterns so i can see why they removed it.
Of course some of the things missing will/could be added in a patch or expansion pack, the things the OP listed wouldn`t be added as they are core game items.
however i do like the style of the sims themselves. After all the sims have never been a serious game what with all the supernaturals in the games. So I feel that that the cartooney look is acceptable. Although i cannot picture vampires ( if they get added) living in a bright and colorful world lol.
I have no problem or preference on the graphics or style of the game. I liked them all at the times they came out. The new Sims will be interesting to watch and play. I would hope that there is more hair and clothes in the game than in the preview of CAS. In a few days we will be able to see for ourselves what the game is like.
Well at my age kids are as old as early twenties ! I do agree it looks like EA has targeted the younger generation. The emphasis on party and play, loss of the family life stages and the simplified buildmode to make building quick and easy. It no longer looks like a life simulation game, but one that is focused on only one life stage age. And it is not elders !!!

I'm an adult and I like cartoon sims... It's starts getting weird when they look too real ... I've always liked the sims humor and I think the new animation fits in with that.
I agree with the OP only on his last bit, the building on the bones of previous iterations of the game. But I like the graphics so far. CAS is AMAZING and far exceeds Sims 3. I've been playing Sims2 recently and yesterday managed to play Sims3 for a bit, as well. I've recreated my main character from Sims3 in the new Demo. I have to say going back and looking at him in Sims3 is a disappointment. I like the new Demo, very much.

I could live with the new cartoon sims. That is far from the issue or issues that are holding me back from purchasing.

Me,i'm not really excited as i was before 2 monthes ago,at first i was kinda desapointed becaues there's no open world,but after seeing the Demo i said that's OK there's great things i like the basic clothes which are more realist,and so many things...

I could deal with the short loading screens, even thou I dont like them. Just far too many other issues and things I would have expected to have and be able to do have been removed. The clothes are fine. I am a dinosaur so I can live vicariously with my sims and wear all the hot stuff .hehe

I definitely think this game is being marketed to the younger generation/new generation of players. The constant sims peeing themselves, a reward for peeing, POOF-ing to your destination, the "weird" advertising, the constant overkill of hashtags, etc. I think it's safe to say this is more of a kids game now.

The what?
Also, hashtags are basically in everything now. They're stupid, but they're not just in things advertised to kids.
Just to say the picture is was took in Garrys Mod and is not the Sims.
[Graphics] We are in 2014 and all most in 2015 most game's that come out want good graphics and tend to love the high end pc's this in the norm for improvement in gameplay, if all games came out 8bit would you pay £50 for them? My point is that Sims 4 is a different game and not like sims 3 with graphics that try to be realistic they can, that's why EA took realistic out and said, people don't want graphics they want gameplay. EA seem to have not done that, scraping most of the gameplay down witch makes me sad seen as the game is over 8gb so far topping sims 3 5gb.... So what have they added or is it just used on the smoothness of the gameplay? :#

I fail to comprehend how any of these points mean that the game was targeted at children. And what do you even mean by “no animated eyeballs”? What do you mean by “eye and skin looks all as one”?

Yeah really, I don't see what's wrong with the hair.
Computer animated hair looks like computer animated hair? The devil is obviously at work here...
9 year olds be like: what's WooHoo?

Yes because a 2007 game is clearly comparable to a 2014 game.
And realistic water.
I remember when that used to be a selling point for some people. "The water looks so realistic!"
TF2 is still raking in tons of cash and looks awesome in its own right, so...
