Tips

register

现如今 is colloquial and slightly emphatic — it carries a "compared to before" undertone, often setting up a contrast with how things used to be. Compare: 现在 (xiànzài, neutral "now") < 如今 (rújīn, slightly literary "nowadays") < 现如今 (most colloquial, with a hint of "can you believe it").
