I mean, Sims 4's cartoony graphics were pretty universally hated on release by fans of the older games, and, like... I have never liked "alpha" CC in any previous Sims games. I put up with some of the less exaggerated examples of it in 4 because it's the lesser evil. The original The Sims was cartoony for the sake of isometric gameplay, absolutely, but both 2 and 3 did their absolute best to look considerably more realistic with the resources available at the time. If someone could make a better life sim with TS3 like graphics, but running smoother than that dumpster fire did with half decent hardware, that would be perfect. Just because TS4 is cartoony for no reason doesn't mean anyone who'd buy a competitor's offering actually likes that.
