Mods and what to do without them?

Are you sure mods are having such a big impact on your computer? That sounds unusual if the game and mods are working as they should.

I've been trying to think with both perspectives. Maybe it's the mods, or maybe my computer is just getting old? I've been told that laptops are usually good for two to three years and it's 6 or 7 years old. I'm going to leave mods out of my game for now/computer for now and see how things go. Thank you for the new train of thought. I will keep that in mind.

I would quit playing the game if I couldn't use mods. I know that's not helpful or what you want to hear but the game is abysmal without them.

I think you've got it wrong. The CC is what will cause problems, just because of high poly counts and hd textures. Mods usually don't cause any issues unless you haven't been updating them after patches. In which case, if you just update them, then there shouldn't be any problems.

As far as playing without mods, good luck. I lasted 6 days before all the bugs and lack of anything interesting happening put my back on the wagon. I do suggest you update your mods and look at what conflicts.

I agree, but maybe for now I will just play without them. Like I said to @haneul I think it's the mods, so I'll play without them for a while, but I will keep MCCommand Center for sure.

Thank you so much for the tip(s)!!! I will definitely try that, it could also be still that my computer/laptop is over 5 years old and someone told me they typically last 2-3 years. But, again, thank you for the advice I will surely look into it. All the mods I use have a discord account, and I intend to ask all of them for advice as well.

Have a wonderful weekend!

When i had my old laptop (a few months ago) i couldn't play with mccc. It overheated my laptop. Now i can play with it but decided i prefer to play sims 4 without story progression and i just prefer smaller mods to tweak specific things that i want to change.
Back to your question, well... i don't know. I can't play without mods. At least, not without mods that fix bugs... Eta: ...and mods that fix whims. I play mostly with whims.

Use to play vanilla for a long time. With the mods I have now, they're usually minor ones. Never played with super big mods as they tend to cause more problems and exceptions errors, especially since there's a chance they might conflict with another one.

Also be mindful of just cosmetic CC as there are items (majority being hairs) that weren't properly optimized and have too high of a poly count.

With Get Together use to make various groups. Even a gang or two that liked to start fights with other sims be mean and etc. Made things interesting when they'd pop up somewhere and end up causing drama.

Had my sim just bumming around mooching off people. Wasn't allowed to have a job to get the things they want, instead borrowing money and the like from sims not returning it once i got my charisma higher. Or even stealing other sims furniture for my sim.

I have one mod in my game. UI Cheats which I use to adjust needs when my sims don't have time to eat and sleep and pee. I have no bug fixing mods. No personality mods. And I manage to find plenty for my sims to do and have fun. What mods have you had to remove? How do you play? Rotational? One family? What packs do you have?

I've never used mods or CC (except for one woohoo mod). For me, the fun lies in creating interesting characters in CAS, and then giving them a personality that goes with the look. No family play, no story lines, just events.
