How big is the community that uses mods and cc?

I also play vanilla but I'm tempted by MCCC, especially since I want to do legacies and would like story progression

most of my cc is hair, skins, and build stuff. i love new windows, doors, wallpapers and floor tiles. they didnt really give us much variety there. most of the mods i have fix parts of the game i felt needed improvement, or just dont work right at all. so overall they enhance my gameplay experience.

Same place you install the mods and cc (your "Mods" folder) you just remove the mod or mods you no longer want. Then you will delete the "localthumbcache" file as well.

I can't speak for everyone, but no. I haven't had any issues with saves when removing mods or cc. Well unless you could removing custom fruits and vegetables. When you load into the lot where they were planted you'll get a message saying some items couldn't be loaded. So you'll just need to replace those removed cc plants with game plants.

It keeps the game from getting stale for me. You can be more creative if you have more to work with.

I use both. Although I initially told myself I'd be mods only and NO CC. Because in Sims 2 and 3 I had a huge CC addiction. I caved.

I always used CC and some NRass mods for the past three iterations and certainly needed mods for Sims 3 to solve some problems like the car proliferation one. I've got full CD's of Sims 2 objects and programs, even one letting you change any roof to any colour but I'm playing vanilla this time round until it is finished. It's just too much bother.

I'm not CAS player nor builder, so what maxis gives to me is enough to make sufficient building or clothes choice. But i need MCCC to smoothen my game.

I used them both in past games, but not in Sims 4. Echoing what has been said before, I don’t want to fiddle with my files every time we get a game update, wait for mod updates and risk losing progress in my game if something goes terribly wrong. There is some peace of mind that comes with knowing a bug is EA’s fault and not mine. My game isn’t very buggy at all. And since I took a long break before Seasons came out (I’ll lose interest if they make us wait that long again in TS5!) I have been catching up on other packs little by little, and the content is enough for me right now.

Some mods are hard to play without, once you have been playing with them. I had some fun with them in the past and decided the hassle isn’t worth it to me this time around. None are dealbreakers for me.

Thank you. And this "localthumbcache" file is in the mods folder?

@telmarina, it's located in the main Sims 4 folder.
