@Zasz , I do backup frequently. I just within the last month got a new computer. Not backing up constantly with the old one was courting disaster (blue screen of death again arrgh). I did my due diligence with my current mods and CC. I only download from those who communicate frequently with users, respond to found issues, and update their stuff (or let you know if they can't right away). I very much like that it is easier to use mods and CC with the Sims 4. I have no judgement one way or another about this. People are free to make their own choices about it.
@Corenren , I don't like the nastiness towards the devs either. I have no problem with polite disagreement, I don't always agree with the devs either, but the level of nastiness seen lately is uncalled for.
