    Those pics are either doctored or you have one heck of a graphics card.

    Must be one heck of a graphics card because S3 looks the same here.

    Seriously? Could you please tell what graphics cards will do this? I know I probably can't afford it, but I'd love to know.

    Elelunicy your trolling right, all i hear about you is saying plum lol. AC: Black Flag easy as pie, Crysis 3 easy as pie, BF 4 lol come again. All in Ultra Settings Maxed out. I am using sweet FX too if you know what this is.

    Know that my Skyrim is almost bursting my PC and i am running a Highend Rig with 2x GTX 780 so SLI.
    Well i do use many ENBs for Skyrim, but if you can Mod Skyrim like this. You get awesome Graphics.
    Awesome graphics don't need to use SweetFX/ENB/other mods to get those oversaturated colors, werid bloom effect, and badly implemented depth of field. Check out these AC: Black Flag screenshots and see what unaltered graphics can look like.

    And being demanding to run doesn't mean anything. Not to mention Skyrim is 32-bit only, dx9 only game (much like Sims 3/4) and it will never use more than 4gb ram or vram. You can't even play it @ 4k with 4k textures without crashing.

    Alright didn't know that, don't have 4k or 5k i only play all on Ultra 1920x1080 and they don't look like this good. Because i only have one 1920x1080 monitor
    So okay i only use 2k Texture i am fair i am wrong your right, but still my Game won't crash.


    And still some Modder can do. So you can play it with 4K Texture. Without Crashes cool right :P
    watch this Vid
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbByL1EUO4c
    And quess what its for free, if you have Skyrim.

    So Skyrim is still awesome!
    And well don't say Skyrim looks hideous its just not right to say this, its a 3 year old Game now.


    So i still disagreeing with you ;)

    Edit: after some sleep i couldn't read it, so many miss typings lol so correction done.

    Here's the way I see it

    Sims 4 art style > Sims 3 art style

    Sims 3 basically everything else > Sims 4

    As I've posted elsewhere - any feedback both negative (how else is the team going to know what you don't like?!) and positive are welcome - just no fights/flames/trolls and you're good :) thanks.

    I agree with the sentiment if we could combine the s4 sims with the s3 environments things would be much better.

    The art style of sims 4 to me, looks a lot like Rayman, it just doesn't look like it fits with the sims. Aesthetically in my opinion sims 3 is far superior, I hope we see less blurry/bad cartoon textures later in the series. Man though, I really just want an open world and a color wheel.

    I smell a cynical undertone in your post but anyway. I have an AMD Radeon HD6800 series card. I don't know the exact number right now and I'm too lazy to find out. Here are some screenshots for comparison.

    Yeah, when i went back I got so annoyed about the loading times, lag, bugs and robotic sims. It only looks good with cc and lighting mods because of the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 pudding face style S3 went along with

    No CC. Ugly?

    Mmm don't wanna be rude, but yeah I don't like them without CC. You did a pretty good job for no CC though
    That's a matter of taste. I for one can't stand those cc Sims with a skin that looks like it's oiled and eyes that are ice cold looking and dead.

    When was the last time you took a walk to the CC mall? Glossy skin went the way of the dodo years ago. It's been normalized now, the focus is more on the fine small details on the skin
    nkfcCmz.jpg
    No oiled up shine
    FTJOpj4.jpg
    Maybe by the neck area there's a bit of shine but the face and rest of the body looks fine, and that's something I'm willing to work with anyways
    HXuNFAM.jpg?1
    Even for females, no shine. Again that style went away a very long time ago.

    Sorry, but the first two pictures definitely have unnaturally / deliberately oiled up skin. Also, that fake beard is LOLworthy. I assume it's supposed to look like a fake beard?

    Denial is not a river in egypt

    I agree. But why are you standing in it?

    You are wrong. I can confirm these are from an unmodded game. I don't use any graphics mod either (see above).
    EDIT: Now I know where you Sims 4 lovers come from. You never knew how beautiful Sims 3 can look.

    It's funny that people are posting screenshots. Those will get you nowhere because The Sims screencap feature takes high-quality renders of what's in front. Not what you see, is how good the graphics are.

    Vanilla Sims 3 at Max Settings:

    Vanilla Sims 4 at Max Settings:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpGws28kt1I

    The Sims 4 looks better than The Sims 3. But that's only because of CASt. The Sims 3 would look better than The Sims 4 if it didn't have CASt, because that's what causes the blurry textures.

    The Sims 3 looks blurry as hell in game. Look at the textures.

    The Sims 3 takes a good snapshot though.
    You are wrong again! The screenshots I took and the in-game graphics are identical! You forgot that videos like the ones you posted are ALWAYS downgraded because of the MPEG compression. Sims 4 has way less detailed textures and that leads to a less blurred compression at the same bit rate. Really, you cannot compare a video with the game. I wonder if you have ever played Sims 3 yourself. You should know the difference if so. Get yourself educated about MPEG compression.

    Yeah, my bad. I mean to say EP collection. Which is basically a collection of Mods (Modifications) to your game.

    Always something to nag about, huh? I'm so sorry we have EPs and you don't. Just let it go and have fun with Sims 4.

    In-game screenshots are not though. Even Sims 4 screenshots are not actual ingame screenshots. The capture mode is not a true representation of the game.

    Even if it looks that way. Print Screens would be more reliable.

    What do I care? OP said he returned to S3 and was struck by the fact it's so darn ugly.
    I stated in that case I must love ugly. I never wanted to compare it to S4 or tried to compare basegames.
    I was merely posting some pictures to show what my S3 game looks like.

    Basically posting any ingame screenshots of either The Sims 3 or Sims 4 is pointless. Because the game captures the highest quality it can, and produces the photo. It doesn't just take an image of what you see.

    Anyway, The Sims 3 would be better than the Sims 4 if the Sims 3 didn't have CASt. Notice how all the pictures of landscapes looks so good in The Sims 3? Because none of it requires CASt. Then Zoom into your Sims and Sim houses. Anything that uses CASt ends up being rough and often blurry and not in focus.

    The Sims 4 has better world graphics, but the backdrops are hideous I've played both games on Ultra Settings, and The Sims 3 would win if they used presets instead. Everything about your Sim looks horrible, and all the buildings and objects look blurry as hell. Yet the Tree's, Water etc. in The Sims 3 look amazing.

    I mean look at how good this looks:

    BeachSunrise.jpg

    Then look at how crap the houses look from the same poster:

    MainStSchoolBus.jpg

    Anything that doesn't require CASt in The Sims 3 looks much better than anything in 4. But the actual houses, objects and Sims in The Sims 4 have much quality.

    Basically, if The Sims 3 didn't have CASt, it would clearly win.

    I'd rather have CASt than pretty graphics.
