I understand what you are getting at. I've played since Sims 1, but I didn't really know about mods until the Sims 3 era. Even then, I didn't need them. (Though I did debate looking for something to keep the needs up when I reinstalled and played 1, even if I didn't end up doing it.) The Sims games were never really mod candidates for me. I had fun regardless and the official cheats could get me out of sticky situations or act as my sandbox controls.
I did end up trying some with 4, but it confirmed the hassle I thought they were. There are great mods and talented modders in this community, but absent a Steam Workshop equivalent on Origin it isn't worth the constant management in my opinion.
But I understand where you are coming from. I was probably the most cynical when Batuu released. It was mind blowing in a bad way. The real kicker to me is it just did so many things wrong that I couldn't be as happy as I should have been for the people that liked the theme because they deserved better than what Batuu gave. I say this having got the pack to share builds with an IRL friend.
Personally, I really like CoL, but I am super biased. I despised the Sims 3 store back in the day, but still considered the cow and chicken objects. Plus the lot challenges and cooking updates are going to open up a lot of avenues for me to play. They even addressed my one complaint about 4's build mode, the pond tool. So this was preorder day one content like C&D to me, which ended up disappointing me the most. I kind of doubt that will be the case here, though. I am fairly optimistic about the fun I am having with 4 right now.
