I was a vanilla player for the first 3 or 4 years.
Now i mainly have tuning/gameplay mods that make repetitive stuff better.
Nothing that adds new venues or objects much (one adds a "loan packet" item for a banking mod).
I use
1. mccommand (story progression for my townies, freezing physique of fitness sims so they don't get too buff, and speeding up my own story lines)
2. Homework overhaul (skill gain while doing homework)
3. Don't eat where you angry poop (stop prepping food in the bathroom upstairs instead of using the free kitchen counter!)
4. Social activities mod (send sims away for vacation, dates, hanging out, visiting family without having to go with them).
5. SimCity loans (for my middle class families to have essentially mortgages). I love the look of SNBank mod but I'll wait for the estate management for inheritance.
I also want to try one simulation lag on speed 3 and wanted the miscarriage and abortion one for some more random tragedies in my game. I'm looking for more pg ones than Wicked Whims but think Lil Ms Sam has most of what I want just have to try it. I did try the Slice of Life mod but honestly hated the appearence changes (too Ott for me) and only ended up using the drunk and period effects so I removed it.
I was strictly CC free because I hate when their clothes disappear after a patch, but I've relented to install only CC wedding dresses because all the photos were becoming so samey even with the extra dresses from all the packs.
The dresses aren't allowed for random and are removed from the sims outfit sets after the wedding. So I wouldn't consider myself a actual cc user.
Oh and Andrews pose player for better photos.
