are the graphics really that good?

[Cassie]

Me either, though when I look at the comparison shots, the graphics have improved more than I thought they would.

[bambigoddess]

Yeah, true...but still...I don't care for the new Sims.

[Cassie]

I meant in general.

The Sims are pretty cruddy.

[bambigoddess]

Yes, they are...

[Cassie]

I'm sure they are working on that though. They DO look more realistic. They DON'T look prettier. {no}

[bambigoddess]

Too true. But, see, in this case, I'd prefer they look prettier.

[Cassie]

Me too. I am hapy with the TS2 Sims, they are still real-looking. Perhaps they need a little touch-up here and there, but I'd take prettiness over realism for Sims, to be honest.

[bambigoddess]

Definitely. They just look...blah...now.

[Cassie]

And yet, EA is adamant that they will be amazing, so... I don't take their woud for it.

[bambigoddess]

Definitely not. I prefer the old Sims, really.
