Are You Dependent on Mods to Play TS4?

This is more of a yes no. I don't depend on mods nor use that many. Mainly to try out different fun things to do. But mcc command is pretty essential to me. It's the only mod I had for years without removing and i wouldn't find the game quite as enjoyable without it because it allows me to play the way i really want like max sims in a zone, really slow time, and many many other things. Other then that i could easily live without mods. What i CAN'T do without is cc. That's a whole nother story???
