I like the sims4 but we definitely need better graphics on the hair, I first I thought it was PLATO. OMG. It looks exactly like PLATO, a kids molding toy!
At first I thought they would fix and make us see moving, bouncy hair like in sims2!
Disney has better graphics for movies!

I want better graphics, too. But the graphics Pixar pumps out could be done in real time....sometime in 2030, when quantum computers are a mainstay. (actually, I have no idea when we might get graphics like that).
I'd like to see something along the graphics style of the scene below: { Picture removed because of severe violent content }
Not too real (avoids the creep factor), but nicer than what we have now. I'd be fine with loading screens if it meant we got a significant boost to graphics.
What? They pixelate "the finger" but a decapitated person is okay? What kind of censorship is that??? smh
I had to LOL this because I was thinking the same thing. It's like on TV and movies they can show all the violence they want and people being mutilated, but god forbid they should show a nipple.
I wonder what the system requirements for the sims 4 would have been if the game looked like this.
I need to finish Mass Effect 3 before the release of this game.
I wish I could play Mass Effect 3.
I switched my hard drive over to an SSD and now Origin will not let me play it.
No amount of uninstalling and reinstalling Origin or ME3 will fix it. I'm kind of scared to try any further unless I screw things up for other Origin games.
I remember watching this before and LOL yes exactly this. I love those real Sims type videos. It's amusing seeing actual people act like Sims and do what they do and speak Simlish.

Because Will Wright wanted the sims as Charactures of people and not real people - I highly doubt they will ever be realistic as he wanted the world sort of fantasy - imagination kind of thing - surreal in other words and I am not positive but I believe that was also in the agreement of things he did not want changed in the game.

That's weird because I am running SSD drives in one of my pcs and having no problem with Origin. I don't have Mass Effect as I don't play killing type game now a days - (although I do have Dragon Age) but I have other origin games on my pcs and none have had any issues going to any of my games. I would check my settings and make sure Origin has permissions etc.

I'm almost certain Will Wright wanted the Sims to be at least equal in quality to the best current releases (on the PC, not on phones). The 2013 screenshots looked really nice I thought, too bad they did to graphics what they did to just about everything else. The style is fine, but it looks to be (look at the horrible, mutated squirrel? Or was that a chipmunk? It needs to be put out of its misery) of fairly low quality.

You could be right about that - I know he likes Pixar and even Disney looking animated creatures. He has mentioned it in interviews that he is a fan of pixar - which actually these worlds remind me of - but yes from the pictures I have seen of the GP - that "creature" definitely looks like a frankenstein version of what a chip munk should look like and definitely not pixar.
ETA - I don't have the GP myself - so I can't say if it was perhaps a low grade pc maybe or bad picture or if it actually looks like that in a high end pc with a good video card. But I was hoping that was the reason the pics look like that. I do know on my pc the game looks a lot better than a lot of pictures i have seen of it - but that is all I have is just the basegame and the updates so far.
ETA - You do know those 2013 screenies were from the first version of Sims 4 - the online one with the first game engine - and not the present game engine with the offline version - right? PK even said that in his interview with modthesims.

I believe the chipmunk isn't really that detailed overall but how bad it looks seems to depend on your computer. I saw a pic of a pretty normal one and then another pic of one that looked slightly deformed.

That's what I am hoping - it was just a low grade pc. I never have a low grade pc as my hubby is a pc tech and it would make him crazy to see a game or anything on any pc in this house look like that. Thank goodness for that. So I am lucky as far as most of my pcs go 99 percent of the time. But if something looks that bad on my pc in game - I would not be a happy camper. But over all I know the world looks good for this art style. I am curious about the GP, but unfortunately can't get the GP yet. My hubby broke his hip a couple weeks ago - so no income yet from insurance - so must wait.

I really like the Sims 4 art style. I wasn't completely sold on it when I first saw the trailers but having played it I have to say I vastly prefer it. It's interesting to see much of the results of the poll agree with me, I thought I'd be alone in this.

He has a acorn in his mouth but the quality that it doesn't even look like that.
It's not from a low grade pc or bad pictures. Everyone's squirrels look like this. EA just didn't bother because your sims aren't going to interact with them, to me it feel like a bad excuse. Details matter but what do I expect from people that make grass that looks like spilled paint. The trees also look like bad quality for a 2014 release It's sad to see this.
The squirrel has a broke looking tale or as I called it, Pikachu.

I hope that when we get those kind of animations, the sims can brush their hair
That would be so Cool! Those animations that are so small put so much detail in my eyes!

With all due respect but I don't care what Will Wright wanted. What he once wanted when he created Sims 1 and what he wants now are completely different things. Just take a look at that: http://venturebeat.com/2011/11/16/will-wright-hivemind/

That is actually a chipmunk - not a squirrel. The stripes on the back tell you that. But the second picture looks better than the first - still the both look washed out. I know in the world itself nothing looks washed out - in fact the world almost looks too colorful at times - so that is why I assumed a lower end video card at least. As soon as I have 20 bucks to swear I will then be able to actually see if it is the pack or the pictures - as i would not expect it will be that faded looking in my game as nothing else is. I do know it can look like that on onboard video - as the whole game sort of looks like that on one of my family members laptops and she has onboard video - which it supposedly is a good video - and the laptop was not cheap - but still onboard video is never as good as separate video cards from my experience.
At least it is cheap enough once I have the money to at least compare - seeing I actually like Camping in Sims 2 (did not like it in Sims 3 though). But thank you for showing the other picture and the info. Much appreciated.
As for the Sims 5 art style - well we have 5 years to worry about it and not really something I give much thought to seeing technology wise that can be a lifetime of new way in 5 years. Technology can suddenly grow in leaps and bounds by then.

No actually that is the Board of censors way - that combine all the censored stuff from around the world when a game is allowed around the world. But I do agree the censors seem very extreme on somethings and others not at all. Like I do not like gore in any form but for some reason they seem to think it is better than showing someone smoking a cigarette. It is like huh? They are purely skewered. You think that is bad - look at the list of Classics books that get censored out of schools every year. They seriously do not follow the way the average American thinks - believe me. I do say average American and not any of the over the top for Causes types. But please do not judge us all by what things like censors do.

They tried too hard to cater to low-end machines and the whole product suffers. I don't believe it has anything to do with stability of the game. The Sims 3's animals are so much better looking. This is probably another way of cutting corners and maximizing profits.
I'd love to take them all.... smash them in a pile, roll them in some fun, squish out a few bugs, beat a few hardships into it and mash it into the new Game: The Sims 5~ The Universe!

and we need new simulation gameplay. better ai.
