Anyone else enjoy playing without cc or mods?

I don't know. I've never tried! :D

I've never used cc, and the only mod I have is for woohoo--this doesn't affect gameplay unless I want it to

Almost! I have no cc and only one small mod. Well, I say small... it is MCCC, but I only use a tiny weeny part of it, which is to stop relationship decay when I rotate around all my many, many sim households.

I'm going to find out if I do. I removed my mod folder from the game files, so far so good. They were all over 2 years old.

That was me for the past 6 years the game was out. I thought that mods and CC would ruin the game, tbh. I guess the type of computer you have would either make or break the experience if they didn't run well.
But one day I became curious enough to give 'em a whirl and actually found some pretty neat stuff!

However, I'm not sure how long-term I'll be using them. It's quite the hassle to keep everything updated.

I could not play this game without mods. Meaningful Stories, Have some Personality Please, NPC Control and MCCC are a must for me.

As for custom content I only download it for CAS. I need custom skin tones, Kijiko eyelashes and body hair in my game. The rest I could probably play without. The game already has so much choice for clothing that I don't feel like it's really needed but I only download things that are maxis match and nice enough quality that they don't look out of place in the game.

No haha I’m obsessed with cc, it’s one of my favourite parts of the game

Lot of the stuff I enjoy doing uses CC so I can't imagine my game without it lol.

ive had cc and mods before but i always end up deleting them cause i find myself just ruining my saves out of boredom

especially with powerful gameplay mods like sacrificial ones cause honestly i just can't use mods in moderation and i end up with big blood bath or something

cause i think bored = use more of this fun new mod to not be bored

but it doesn't work that way cause u then get bored of the mod itself and whatever storyline you had is gone (cause well i killed everyone involved)

and with cc i even tried to make some myself before but honestly ever since i tried that i just feel overwhelmed by the thought of "i could have anything on earth if i actually used my time and effort on it"

so i don't really like to do cc anymore cause i note that there will never be a time i actually bother to make or find every single object i want in the game

+also i don't like the alpha style or clashing art styles so id still want it to look like it belongs in the game which it often does not

+also because i can't be bothered to manage cc and mod folders

im just too lazy to update stuff for patches and get annoyed and stressed over breaking my saves in general

= i have way more fun playing mod and cc free because i can just play stress free and be content with what i have and maybe im not always playing out my ideal game scenarios but its good because then i also end up playing other fun stuff i didnt even realize was in the game before and i would have never added if i only had my ideal game content

+ i also can share any build in the gallery without thinking about "oh no but i have so much cool cc in it and ppl don't have that so its useless to them :( "

I know what you mean, I like CC in my game, but something about it just feels out of place, like it doesn't belong or something. I use mods, but only mods that keep with the classic vanilla experience, mods like Personality Please, Meaningful Stories, and so on.
