How often do you use mods or CC?

I cleared out quite a few mods recently -- I have a small amount of CC like insect spawners and such, but have resisted the temptation to indulge in CAS CC though I really want more makeup options especially for my Sims of Color (SoC). Once the gane is done (by then I should have a really good gaming computer) I'll likely totally indulge in CC.
