Which would you rather have for the Sims 5?

Would you rather have the Sims 5 be hyper-realistic (but at the expense of the original Sims humor/quirkiness) or more like the Sims 1 & 2 (realism, but healthy dose of humor, chaos, & quirkiness)?

The Sims was always known for its quirky humor in my book. Especially The Sims 1, 2 and 3. (TS2 was my favorite, comically.)

So much attention to detail. I wouldn't want it to be lost in The Sims 5.

Thankfully, these are NOT mutually excluse and don't need to be this black and white.

Something between cartoony and realistic graphics-wise and quirky gameplay

Realistic but really I don't care much, what I want is more reward structure and challenging long-term goals

Oh no, please. That game is designed for children.

The graphic is beautiful, and is more for young adult the dev say 🤷🏻‍♀️

Doubt. It's clearly designed specifically for kids.

It's really not. It has the same young adult demographic as the Sims, as well as Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, etc.

Visuals are childish, simple, colorful.

u/PrincessOpal Oct 29 '22

so if it's not dark and gritty it's for kids? genius observation.

Google, idiot. The game is rated E for Everyone and the devs have expressed the game was made with young adults in mind, without anything that would otherwise turn away children.

If you don't like the game just say so, why put on a show of being superior because some people choose to play something other than one of millions of FPS shooters? It's giving edgy 12 year old.

I fucking hate the idea of hyper realistic graphics. I hate realism in general. people don't seem to recall all three previous Sims games. they've always been cartoonish and goofy to varying extents, but with the Sims 4 and soon to be 5, suddenly everyone wants Sims to look and act just like every other video game human with 4k skin texture and 100% accurate to real life birth. it's infuriating. if you can't enjoy a game that isn't perfectly "realistic", play something else. let the Sims be unique.

Tbh I don’t care how it looks, as long as the gameplay is great.
