Neither. I don't do anything.
When the game updates, it will automatically disable CC/Mods. This is just a checkbox in the game. If I check it to turn mods/cc back on and attempt to play, the game will be a wreck. I know when the game updates, a lot of mods will break. There are really only two options then. Remove the mods and play without them, or just wait.
ALL of my saves have long used mods/cc. If I remove the mods, the majority of my sims and townies will end up naked and bald. Most of my houses will have missing furniture, decorations, DOORS, windows, major game functions provided by mods will be gone, causing their own problems... it'll be a mess!
So, removing mods isn't an option as my saves rely on them.
Having them IN isn't an option as they'll break the game before they're updated.
So, I do nothing.
Unfortunately this means you can't play until you get updated mods. If you are REALLY hard-up for playing and can't wait... Leave the mods/cc disabled in the game settings. You certainly don't want to play one of your existing saves as this will cause irrecoverable chaos. So, just start a whole new game and play without mods/cc there. That way it won't effect or damage anything on your IMPORTANT saves.
But, playing without all my mods? MCCC, and all my CC outfits and Alpha hair? That's just depressing...
I always just stop playing and wait until the mods are all updated. There's always a forum thread here:TheSims.com General Mods Discussion
It's usually called "Broken\Updated Mods for patch xxx" It's the BEST place to check and see what mods are broken/updated/fixed for the most recent patch. There's one there right now that's tracking broken mods for the ECO Living update. A LOT of mod creators like me post updates on their mods there so everyone can track them and see when they can get updates. The first few posts are constantly updated showing lists of the current mods that are still broken and which are updated.

Thank you I really appreciate this answer I was told to delete my saves everytime I updated my game as for cc I only have one hairstyle and a dress for my sim so townies are not effected in my game again thank you.
@Rachelharris31, one of the best things to do to help with your Mods and CC is to delete the local thumb cache package.file (it will look like localthumbcachepackage.file and it is located in your game folder). This will clean up old junk you don't need as well as any corrupted bits that might remain behind! 🤨🙌
Do you mean delete the file itself or just what's inside.
@Rachelharris31, I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I always have understood that you are to delete the file (in reference to deleting the localthumbcache.package file. 🤔
