For most of my playtime on TS4 I never used any mod in my game, but after reading so many good things about some of them, I decided to try some. And oh boy, am I satisfied!
Mods I currently play with: - Meaningful Stories. I think this one is a popular one, but it makes the emotions so much better and more human. Playing with it feels more "natural" and it blends well with the new lifestyles and sentiments system. - Whimsoverhaul. As a huge Sims 2 player back when I was 8 and innocent, what I loved was that my sims actually DROVE my gameplay with their wants/fears, among other features. Whims is kind of TS4's take on TS2's "Wants", but they were left broken and untouched and finally disabled by default. This mod corrects it and makes it so that your sim's whims are related to their aspirations, relationships and traits. Neat. - RingUpAtRegister. This one was released a few days ago and i'm so THANKFUL. This mod makes it so that you can ring up customers at the cash register, with lines and all, TS2's Open For Business style. It's really well done and you can easily choose to disable it ingame without removing the mod altogether so that you can have both "traditional" paying at register for retails like bakeries, supermarkets... And tablet-based ringing up for other types of retails.
Mods I tried but didn't like: - WonderfulWhims. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a really well done mod. I tried it only for the attraction system, as I felt that the other features didn't fit my playstyle very well. However, I felt like the attraction system didn't end up adding much, so I removed it.
Here are most of the mods that I use: I use so many small mods like mods from littlemssam and bienchen so I am using a cmd command to just create a list of them all and putting them in spoilers.
CAS CASroom by littledica Height Slider weerbesu's more CAS Columns Zerbu's body and face presets Extra sliders for hip, thigh etc.
Random live mode mods Fixes from simvasion, littlemssam and zero different mods that disable things

It's primarely three things for me:
1. It adds a continuity to the game, aka the clubs get auto-populated, people marry, have children, move around different households without you having to do it 2. It allows control over things like population size, turn on and off certain elements like bar nights, percentage of supernaturals, etc 3. It auto-enables a lot of cheats so you can shift click on any sim and edit them in CAS for example (good bye ugly townies!)

You can customize a lot. You can set life spans, customize relationship decay, set skill levels of your sims, determine who you get death, birth notifications from or none at all, you can set child support payments if you want, change bill percentages, you can slow down or speed up game speed, set maximum household to more than 8 sims if you wish, determine alien abduction frequency, etc. This is just a few of the features there is a ton more.
I use SCAM autonomy control to stop a lot of annoying repetitive behaviors. Tmex Story Toggle so I don't have to go through the Strangerville Story every time I start a new save. Various mods to remove the fixed lots traits & objects in apartments. Various other mods to weed out minor & not so minor annoyances and other issues in the game.
None I hate them they have messed up my game so many times I no longer play with them. I do not get the hype about mods at all. They caused more game breaking gameplay then ea has so I no longer use them. I will cc though

I've been using mods in my game for as long as I can remember and so far have never had one mess up my game. As long as you keep them updated and are careful of which ones you download then they cause no problems.
