Anyone else enjoy playing without cc or mods?
I might be the minority but I prefer to play my game without cc or mods. It just feels unnatural to me. And alot of cc just doesn't look good to me. I understand mods can make your game better but its...

I have played and continue to have fun with a completely vanilla game since the start. I have nothing against Mods/CC and admire those who make both. I used a TON of them in TS2. I've been very tempted to use a few Mods after hearing all they can do from others, but so far I've been able to resist. I have a love/dislike relationship with them.
I love how they enhance the game and fix a lot of problems/bugs/glitches. Especially MCCC.
I love how CC can make our Sims look SO much better by adding missing features from the game (looking at you eyelashes & body hair).
I dislike how if I were to ever give in to temptation, I know it'll slowly cause me to spend more time searching/shopping for them than playing the game, just like you fear @Daephene. That's what happened as a result for me in TS2.
I dislike how updates can break Mods and then I'd have to wait until they're updated to play my game.
I dislike how sometimes some Modders just quit updating their mods and disappear without a trace and then you're stuck using an old version or need to remove a mod that has become necessary to your gameplay.
I dislike how 9/10 times when someone complains about a bug/glitch, it's inevitably because of a Mod/CC conflict.
Most of all though, I dislike that whenever someone has a problem with a glitch/bug that should be fixed and should've never happened in the first place the answer almost always from other Simmers is, "there's a mod for that." I'm glad there are mods for problems, I just don't think it should be the standard answer when a problem arises. It gives the Devs a handy excuse for never fixing a problem or taking their sweet time doing it and those who can't or don't want to use Mods suffer as a result. Just my opinion of course.
For me personally, the dislike outweighs the love and I prefer to wait until this iteration is complete before adding any Mods/CC to my game. I love them, but they're not worth it while the game is still being developed.
Happy Simming! <3
