These are the most "cartoony" I've ever made sims in Sims 4, I think. Though still within my style of Sim. The ones I see on tumblr though are great. I'd like to try out the style one day, but I have never gotten around to that.
Never tried cartoony before, but... challenge accepted.
Here's what I came up with so far (screenies below for each outfit type). No mods. Quite a few things from packs though. I think I went for the Disney-esque style. Big eyes, paper-thin waist in proportion to the rest of the body (did combination of thin waist and somewhat thick legs/arms to build contrast). Used mostly vibrant colors for clothing. Probably could have made the face a little more round, but I'm pretty happy with the result.
Oh, also, big ears and quite a bit of big jewelry. Smaller items and finely textured clothing seems to create too much of a realistic look. The less noticeable detail, it seems, the better. Best if it blends into a visual cocktail, methinks. (Those are my impressions from playing around with it.)
I think bigger ears and eyes can help contribute to the cartooney look. I do use some cc, so that also helps. Here's some screenshots for some inspiration.
I don't really have anymore close up screenshots of sims.
It depends what kind of cartoon look you want. There is like anime, Disney, Pixar, Nick, Dreamworks, or Keane styles.
Some reference pictures.
A couple of cartoon like households I made. Keane Smurfs
So in some cases bigger eyes are better, but in other cases smaller features are better. You kind of have to play around in CAS to get the exact look you want.

Great sites @Simasaurus09 !!! I just have one question do these two sites have maxis match hair styles. I can't tell cause they look maxis match, but some of the meshes are not really maxis match

Some of those are alpha hairs (?) I think.. retextured to be "clayified". That is why they look weird. I'm trying to find someones post on tumblr that explains this but I can't.

Im loving many hair styles. My only problem is that if they arent maxis match it will look broken with laptop mode
The clayified is still technically alpha and that requires laptop mode to be off. No worries, in my opinion maxis match looks better in the game anyways.

Yeah I hate that aspect with alpha hairs too. I'm slowly converting my hair obsession to Maxis matched more. I actually found some hairs here that have nice Maxis matched hairs especially for kids. http://mystufforigin.blogspot.pt/search/label/Hair

Button noses, round faces and big ears is one a way to have a cartoony look.

Yeah! It is fun to tweak and play with them in this type of style!

I also like to play around with celebrity sims. And yes, it is fun to embrace the cartoon style of the game!
Nixel's Pixels and a-century-of-fakers have some really cute simmies too.
I also have attempted some cartoony styles myself, personally I like making varieties of sims from cartoony to realistic looking, or a mix of both
Here is another cartoony dude that has been sitting in my personal game library for a while.
