Poor Body Textures Outside of CAS

Glad to see I'm not alone in sticking with TS2. ;D

I just got around to installing Sims 3 for the first time (a couple of days ago, to avoid confusion)....I had to keep checking if it actually said Sims 3 because the graphics were SO similar, it looked as though it could have been an expansion. I don't think I've ever seen a game come out YEARS later and still have the same graphics engine....only it's far worse on most people's systems.
I hadn't been playing Sims 2 for awhile so I am not missing it but, I'm totally unimpressed at this point.
As was mentioned, the thing that has totally blown me away (in a good way) is CAST. But, once I started actually playing, I felt like I was playing Sims 2 again with far worse lighting. Even the sims are just as ridiculously stupid as they were....or worse since I had no mods to de-stupidify them, ha.
All of the process of making them has been really vamped up, and the same with building...But once I started playing, I was totally unimpressed with the way everything looked and felt.
When I saw the skin tones in CAS, I was really stoked, thinking they'd carry over into the game but they're nothing like what you get when you start actually playing. It's terrible how ugly they look.
I have to say that Sims 2 CAS looked very similar to the Sims in the game, at least on High settings. The quality was the same in my experience.
Does anyone think it would ever be possible to figure out what happens to the bodies once they leave CAS? Can we force the loveliness upon live Sims? Demand that they remain pretty? ::)

??? Is anyone else confused? You made this thread and hinted that you were playing but then you went and said this. Am I missing something?
And yes, I've noticed the same issue. The sims I made in CAS were good looking but once I got them into game I sat glaring at the screen wondering what the hell just happened. There's so much detail loss that they don't even look the same. I guess it is for the better though, CAS seems to be famous for making video cards over heat and the exceptional detail is likely the cause. If we had that in game, there would be more crashing and lag unless you had a super computer. Though it might not be higher detail, it could be the zoom and lighting. They really screwed up the lighting on this one. I have to have a million lamps in one room or it's so damn dark.

I meant just *recently* got around to installing (as in recently within the last few days), not just today. :D
I went ahead and amended my previous point to avoid further confusion though I never expected to run into any. ::)

Am I one of the only ones that has zero complaints about the lighting and the textures? I have a very high-end graphics card backed by tons of ramz and I've never noticed any problems with my textures OR my lighting; in fact, I'm really happy with my lighting...in TS3 for me it's like GunMod's raidiance (dDefinder ed.) is built into the base game here. I'm not at home so I can't provide screenshots right now but later on when I'm home I'll provide examples - it may possibly be shader settings on your graphics cards that are causing your game to look a bit less than schmick.
In summary: ewe needs moar ramz and grafiks.
