I have used mods (or cheats that do the same things) from the very beginning of playing with sims. I started playing sims 3 hoping for a totally open-ended sandbox/dollhouse experience with no game driven challenges or constraints, and immediately was disappointed by things like sims having needs, the day being really short, not having much money at the start, and so forth.
I quit playing in total disgust, and didn't try again until I found out about the "testingcheats enabled" cheat (which gave me drag-able needs bars in sims 3), "motherlode", and the "relativity" mod that slowed the day down.
When I started playing sims 4, I didn't even try to play without mods or cheats because I knew I wouldn't like it. I installed Weerbesu's UI cheats extension right from the start so I could have drag-able needs bars again. It's the one mod I absolutely won't play without.
Most of my other mods either block some autonomous behavior that I find annoying, allow me to adjust something the game settings don't allow me to adjust, or give me control over something that the game doesn't let me have control over.
I don't really have any mods that add gameplay. And I think I only have one mod that fixes a glitch.
Mostly, I use mods so that I can have things exactly the way I want them without bothering other players who want something different.
