Do I still need to remove or move my mods folder elsewhere whenever there's a patch update?
Do I still need to remove or move my mods folder elsewhere each time there's a patch update from The Sims team?

It's always best to move the folder to a new location before patching your game. Whether or not it messes with your mods folder (or game saves) is neither here nor there, it's just simply a good habit to get into.... And it's highly recommended all the time over at Answers HQ by the troubleshooting helpers over there.
Why risk messing up any saves or your mods folder when it's such a simple thing to do?
It literally takes 2.4 seconds to cut and paste the folder to your desktop and just leave it there until you've verified/updated any and all mods/cc before plunking it back into your documents directory and turning them back on in the game options.
Whenever I start up my game and see that it wants to update/patch, I immediately close out of there, move my mods folder (and make a copy of my save file to that location too), and then start it back up to install the new update/patch..... and I only wasted less than one minute of my life to do so. One minute of my life versus losing possibly weeks/months/years worth of gameplay, save files, and downloaded mods/cc that might not be available anymore? I'll take the former because, much to my chagrin, I've already experienced the latter.
