For those of you who don't use mods, why?

Oh and not using mods and cc its also much easier to share things in gallery so thats another reason I don't really get into them in ts4 as much

That's actually a really, really good point.
Even many of those of us who do use a ton of mods and CC disable it all when we are going to make something to share on the gallery.

It has been fun trying to learn how to create sims and lots with stuff that I used to ignore. And the newer stuff coming from Maxis over the last year or so isn't bad at all. I still love my cc and always will but there is now a larger place for unmodded creativity in what I do.

Or they have the energized trait and / or lifestyle.

Sims with the active trait will do pushups, sit-ups, and stretch a lot autonomously. Or was that what you meant by energized trait?

I like the building mechanics of Sims 4 more than the gameplay, which is pretty predictable and repetitive, but finally improving. I build things to be playable, even if I don't get around to playing with them. When I build, mods/cc need to be off so that I can upload to the Gallery. I forgot to turn the mods back on to actually play so many times that I stopped even bothering to pick them up anymore.

Once I got onboard with MCCC after a couple of years I - like many others - see this as essential. I also have the mod by I orget who that unlocks the game's hidden outfits.

I don't have any others mainly because I have no idea which ones out of the multitude available would be useful for how I play. CC, on the other hand...

The above applies to my installation that stops at University and does not see the light of internet day. There are no mods for my version that runs through Cottage Living as that is internet connected and I have no desire to deal with the update induced mod slaughterhouse.

I do not, and have never, used mods. In any game. For what they add, I don't find them worth the time maintaining and updating, much less configuring. Not to mention potential security risks (even on reputable sites). Instead, the developers need to look at these for inspiration on what to fix or add to the game.

Yep. Fixed.

I must say this: I have not played since Industrial Loft Kit came out and there has been quite a few updates since then... So I cannot be sure BUT: I still have (updated) MCCC installed but I simply lifted out the Babies and Population scripts from the mod folder and the game is running MUCH smoother than 6 months ago.

Looks like this has turned into a 'why do you use mods' thread. ?

Edited to add you.

I can sum it up in one statement, I use mods to fix what EA won't or can't, simple. I would rather download a mod that almost eliminates my sims from washing their hands 10 times a day, won't go mop up puddles while during a thunderstorm, obsess with the computer, tv, gaming mat, and the list goes on. I have recently downloaded Carl's mod that fixed the garden which I gladly downloaded...gardening is a joy again for which I will be forever grateful.

So yes, mods can be a pain when something is wrong in the game, but I would much rather update mods that can let me play my game the way I want instead of fighting with my sims to stop with the unwanted behavior, constantly.
