Mods Or No Mods?

I love Mods. However, I don't like to use them. I always end up with corrupted game files when I use them. :( It's a catch-22 with me.

I can count the number of corrupted games I've had on one hand. Usually it's been my own fault by trying to use mods that haven't been updated for the current patch. I have two key mods that I have to have in the game -- MCCC and UI Cheats Extension -- so when the game is patched I wait for those mods to be updated and go into building/remodeling mode (especially when we get new content) until at least those two are updated. Deaderpool is awesome at getting hotfixes at a minimum out quickly, then fine-tunes things down the road.

For me, mods enable me to play my game and tell my stories in my own way. My next project is to create a household where they'll unlock all the career outfits; I'll probably start with four YAs in order to go through all the career branches. With mods like MCCC and UI Cheats I can easily jump Sims to the next career level if I need a boost. and other mods that help cut down on the grind. I can then set up a series of clothing shops where my other Sims can shop and buy the career outfits where my other Sims can shop. (That's my ultimate goal as I rebuild my template save.)
