Have you started to disable/uninstall packs?

The amount of packs is one of the reasons why I didn't buy lovestruck in the first place. Along with no interest in the main theme and avoiding relationship decay for households I am not actively playing. This makes lovestruck the first EP in 25 years (living large sims1) I deliberately avoid out of fear my pc won't be able to handle it. That's the consequence of sims 4 going on indefinitely. Sims 4 is a fun game but adding DLC, especially the big EP, can't go on and on and on without loosing performance. I am afraid I will have to be more picky in general and focus on what I really want in the game. So lovestruck is the first to skip but won't be the last. 

I expect to be stuck with my current laptop for a while longer. One of the big positives of the sims 4 was the system requirements. But with all DLC added, the game needs a better pc. 

So far I only use disable packs if I want to make a pack limited build or test something specific. For example I tested small firepits. The ones from the kits and horse ranch only allow to roast marshmallows . Hot dogs aren't an option if outdoor retreat is disabled.
