I do enjoy browsing CC and cherry pick what appeals and/or what the game is missing, but it has to be maxis match that really does match the game or it just jars. I also run out of clothes and need CC to keep my sims from wearing the same things.
I also have it very well organised, like I do my mods. Sims Studio has a CC browser that you can use to set the correct/desired categories and/or delete swatches etc to keep CAS tidy.
I don't have much in the way of BB CC, but I have some like the clear window replacement for the big panes.
