Poor Body Textures Outside of CAS
zolabee:
I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing the blush looks like bruising. It looks so much better in CAS and I have it working on 2 separate super computers... one with 19" monitor the other with a 24". Another thing that is noticeable is the splotchiness of the skin for close up shots. I tried to take an infants picture and it's skin was not smooth at all - it was striped and splotched... I've never seen a striped baby... maybe a splotched one, but not striped.
Rockermonkey:
Do you all have the sim detail on very high? On high makeup smudges and pixelates. On very high I've noticed no issues outside of CAS, except when outside. Then I just get splotches again.

I have everything on high. The scenery is stunning, the Sims are blah. They simply don't look as good as they do in CAS. As mentioned by zolabee the blush looks like bruising and the skin is splotchy when up close. I don't think that I've noticed smeared makeup at all. Also, like GnatGoSplat mentioned, the pie menu picture always looks much better than the Sim.
I have 4 GB 800Mhz RAM using XP & dual 8800 GT 512MB video cards. I've run the game in SLI mode and in single GPU mode and it does not seem to make a difference at all in the gameplay or the graphics. My gameplay is very smooth. No noticeable lag at all.

I thought the Sims looked much better in CAS than in the Sims 2 when I first played it, and I was excited. There was so much detail, especially on the body and the face. But then I loaded the game and...
:o
They looked like mutant iguanas that had crawled out of the pits of fucking hell. I noticed my morbidly obese sim looked fine, but my skinny guy looked awful. It was even worse because he didn't have a fat face. And the sims profile pictures look like lifeless mannequins. While I do like the Sims 3 over the Sims 2 overall (integrated neighborhood, CAST, fast loading times), the Sims look terrible aesthetically. Their smiles make them look retarded, and their facial expressions are over exaggerated. I could make good looking sims in the Sims 2 easy, even without CC, and when they smiled, it actually looked natural, not creepy like in this game.
I'm quite disappointed with that. The Sims look terrible. The males got the real shaft in this game. No good clothes or hair and it's impossible to make a good looking male sim. They all look way too feminine. Luckily, the MTS3 facial slider mod has helped quite a bit with this, but the sims still look god awful in-game. :-\
