That's funny I love the game and don't have any mods installed currently. I play without any at least probably more than 95% of the time or more. Sometimes I want to try an enhancement mod though and I do ... especially if it does something I don't ever expect to get in the game or might not get for a long time. I don't use fix-it mods at all. I guess I'm the unicorn?
The vanilla game runs better for me than a modded one.. when modded my sims start to freeze or I get last exceptions or it runs slower, and it's a hassle to update. . Eventually though I do see using a few mods when the game is said and done for when I'm sure updating is done. One I can think of will be something to keep my townies fashion choices from damaging my vision.
All that said I don't see a problem with using mods if you want a certain type of play like story progression or might run into a bug that completely shuts down your game play and you need a better working... I dunno high chair?
There was a bunch of things I ended up needing for sims 2 though... clothing items, skin cc, and things to help me with their needs, household management and relationships especially. Since I wasn't a builder too I'd spend much of my play time trying to find acceptable building to download. Finding sites to do that at that time (the time the game was being released and for a few years after) was scary... I was always worried about virus problems or would run into payment sites. Although I'm sure it's in some ways easier now to find that sort of thing for the Sims 2.
