I mostly just keep the essential mods, but oddly that means a lot of mods for me since I have many tweaks for all the annoying things. :D
This is me. I restarted my Mods folder this spring from scratch when I my old save corrupted and decided to give up trying to fix it and just start over. "Essential" for me is a bunch of bandaid ("bugfix") mods for things I'm likely to run into, UI Cheats for more varied Sims (like, Adults with higher skills than teenagers, and higher job levels for some), More CAS Columns because I have all the packs, MCCC for some control of other things (but only a few modules, and not for story progression - I use it for tweaking occult events, keeping the Tragic Clown out of my life, and the like), and lots of tweaking mods on top of that to make the game run how
I like instead of sometimes being annoying. Real life is annoying. I don't need my Sims to be annoying too. I need them to
not be annoying. I'm holding off on complex gameplay mods right now. Home Regions is probably the only one I currently have. CC is where I'm really trying to resist "I might use that some day" and focus on things truly missing from the game (with all packs), like shiftable mirrors, functional radiators, Simlish overrides.
BUT... someday the next game will come out and this one might not be in development anymore and I just might start accumulating those complex game mods (there are some that I find really interesting, just not something I
need right now) and, probably, lots of hairs.
