Mods Or No Mods?

There seems to be a bit of a misconception around here that mods take ages to be updated. The fact is, most of the major ones like MCCC are updated within 24 hours of a patch. Sometimes even before a patch is released. And this is only for major patches. Many times no update to the mod is needed.

And CC, such as hair and clothing, doesn’t need to be updated at all. I’ve got CC from 2014 in my folder that works fine.

I guess it really depends on which mods you're relying on. None of the "major" mods are essential to me but some of the more obscure ones are. MCCC gets lightning fast updates, but the author of that mod earns a six figure salary maintaining it and that's just not a luxury all mod authors have. So I usually end up waiting weeks for updates to the mods I use which is fine by me because I'm not the type of person that HAS to get into the game right after a patch. But I can see how this would turn some people off from modding.

I definitely think it's a good thing that people who know they are too lazy or impatient to maintain a modded game don't even bother with it. IMO there's way too many people who mod their games neglectfully and inevitably run into issues, come on the forums or AHQ to complain or ask for help and to ultimately just be told that they need to test/update their mods.
