Poor Body Textures Outside of CAS
Lerf:
I didn't want to pay $50 for the game, now I'm supposed to buy a $1500 system to get it to look right?
I don't think so.

I have an extremely high end system, and with everything maxed and getting a solid 60fps, I can see a noticeable difference in the CAS and main game. They look better in CAS, I do not however think it is lighting, I would rather say its how they set their rendering engine up.
I wouldn't say that's extremely high-end. Maybe high-end, though. I get a solid 150 fps maxed out. ;D

A lot of really good LCD monitors won't go over 60FPS. My system is pretty damn high-end (quad processor, 8GB RAM, 2x GeForce GTX 295 videocards), but I never go over FPS because my monitor (equally high-end) doesn't support anything higher - ironically, generally the higher quality/res the LCD, the lower the refresh rate.
And with completely maxed settings, my game handles perfectly smoothly but still has really shitty-looking lighting in game (in CAS, it's fine). I think the in-game camera has a tendency to fuck up the saturation too much, especially at dusk/dawn.
OpiumGirl:
I've never heard of that...I know that refresh-rate can limit your fps, as can v-sync. It very well may be true. 60 fps is pretty common as a stopping point for things like refresh-rate and v-sync.
Alright then, pissing contest has come to an early end, I guess. ;)
That's no fun at all.

I've been complaining about the lighting since day 1.
I don't think the textures look bad, they look better than Sims 2... I think. I'm running a 9800GT with all settings max.
The lighting makes sim skin turn a slight reddish hue in the shade (especially pale sims), and detail is reduced. It turns their eyes inky black and blush looks like bruises. In full sun, it makes white hot spots on their faces. In general, it makes them look creepy. I don't think better skin textures will help much unless something is done about the lighting.
My sims do look a lot better indoors with night lighting.
Their pie menu face always looks sooooooo much better.
