How would you rate The Sims 4 without modifications or CC ?

I don't think I could play without the Skill Lock mod, a Calorie adjuster mod, 5 traits in CAS mod, and dozens of minor tuning mods.

I was able to play Sims 3 moddless till about a year+ after they stopped updating. 

But if you asked me to rank a moddless Sims 4 oof, that would be tough. I mean some of it I do really like as is, just there are some kinda deal breaking parts (which i ask for be fixed/changed in the forums, so I can play almost moddless).

5-6.5/10 I think is a fair range.

If skill lock was made into a feature, if I could toggle off (calories/body stay (no weight/muscle gain)), if they fixed autonomy to be more like Sims 3 (trait driven) and updated traits (mostly base game traits). I'd probably give it 8-9/10. But I worry even if they did "fix" autonomy and update traits, that they still might miss the mark X /
