I started playing the Sims with Sims 1. I have never had mods or CC. I've thought about it, sure, but it looks like too much trouble keeping thing updated. Plus I'm paranoid and don't want to download something that would mess up my computer or my game.
I truly enjoy the challenge of playing and building without mods or CC. I love working with what I have within the limits of "normal" play. I don't own all the packs yet, either. I'm still exploring the ones I have.
I also like the idea that I can put something up on the gallery and not worry about whether or not they can use my builds, assuming they have the same packs.
