I disagree, I do care about realistic graphics and dislike the stylistic style of Sims 4. It was a cheap-out by EA because the game was underdeveloped and shouldnt get rewarded by the players. Sims 3 was more realistic and had full development and it shows, Sims 5 should go back to a proper production phase.
In Sims 4 I use many mods, especially character models that are more realistic, as this is the most important aspect for me in visuals.

InZOIs success is likely more dependent on if it can offer engaging content and I think choosing better visuals is an advantage over Sims 4. It makes it very appealing to me, but I havent seen much content in the game, which holds me off.
Sims 4 is much more engaging with interactivity, but only with DLCs, so either EA keeps me with a Complete Collection I can afford or InZOI will pull me over if they offer meaningful gameplay.

i mean. fair enough. to each their own. i don't play many of the new "big budget AAA rtx on unreal engine 10 graphics so good they're like real life" releases. mainly out of disinterest, money, and a setup that'd probably catch fire if i tried, so that's probably why i find it so unappealing. because im so used to the "slightly dated but still kind of holds up" graphics of the early 2010s and earlier and whatever modern indie devs and free live-service game creators are doing that inzoi is so uncartoonishly realistic it's unappealing to me

that's not to say it doesn't LOOK good, because objectively - it does - but just a tad too out there for my tastes for quite a few reasons. maybe it's my unfamilarness to the genre too. i only started playing ts4 recently a few months back as a joke but genuinely enjoyed it. with a genre im getting reaccustomed to and realistic graphics it looks kind of... boring to me. it probably isn't, idk. i haven't tried.

also i didn't know that tidbit of information, so that's interesting to know. i wasn't there for the sims 4 development cycle, or any of the post release dlc stuff either (but now i am!) i hardly even know what the dlc-less experience is like,, i Legitimately Bought It*** after i hit the install button. i was stuck with the sims 3 on a ps3 watching my brother play BUT from what i remember it was super nice. that was a very. unorganized response but i hope you can pick out the bits and pieces!

like i said, it's probably a nice game, i believe so. it's just a tad too realistic for my tastes and i Can't Play The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Game To Figure Out because of it. idk what the hell im talking about anymore. ignore me. idk ♥♥♥♥ bro :bricktherat:

I dont play them neither, but am a little more advanced than you, Its always best to let a game develop fully. But I am interested in realistic graphics, I agree though games did reach a point several years ago that they dont need to develop further graphically.
They should rather focus on engaging gameplay and keep the graphic level.
Sims 4 however regressed and should have landed in the PS4 generation, this is the level I am personally very comfortable with.
I dislike the overly stylistic style most indie devs use and therefore am less interested in Paralives than InZOI. Sims 4 is still tolerable, but I only play it because of Mods anyways.

The life simulation genre is definitely underdeveloped and needs more competition.
Sims 4 does offer engaging systems though, they are just gatekept behind high DLC prices. Therefore I hope EA is wary that customers like us would like to buy their DLCs, but cant afford that right now and offers us an affordable bundle.
Otherwise we can get dragged away by indie developers and other studios.
As I said I dont think InZOI looks boring because of the graphics but because there is no engaging content. I havent played the game either.

There are much more informations to know about Sims 4 development, current Sims projects and EAs conglomerate policy. I can lay out some of them or other commenters if you ask specific questions.
I will always reply to comments that need more informations, I dont ignore people easily.
