I know what you mean, but have used 1000s of mods and cc since starting with Sims in 2000 so the upkeep and maintenance isn't so hard, more or less just a 'habit' one gets used to and I've never encountered problems with the upkeep nor my 'game' in general in all that time, wow, nearly 20 years now. ⭐
As for lots or sims I share to the online gallery, easy as I keep a separate game with no mods for that.
With the 'Island Living' update, my game was still up and running in about 10 mins, as you also get to 'know' what may be affected, so rather than the whole mods folder being removed, it's a simple step to check and update pertinent mods.
@Sashas0nic Sounds like your usage falls in the second group I mentioned (sorry... I added to my last post after posting, so you will have to refer to that), and kudos to you for that! :eahigh_file:
