I admire your restraint! My mods folder is currently 2.6 gb. I have a small problem. :lol:
I can't remember how large my Sims 2 folder ever was, since that's been such a long time ago, but I remember I had around 14GB of mods and custom content for Sims 3, and for Sims 4 my high point was 8GB.
After Cats and Dogs, I slowly decided started shedding custom content, and then this past year I decided if I was ever going to play again long-term, I had to end a lot of my dependency on mods. I just want to be able to patch and play and not worry about mods breaking all the time.
I actually decided to let go of MC Command Center after all, and that was tough, but I found pretty quickly I just wasn't even using the little bit I had installed. If I need an autonomy mod, I'll find one or I can just make it myself, so there went Tuner, and after several Sim weeks, I wasn't using Dresser, so the whole mod suite went.
I've found I actually really like playing this way and after some getting used to it, I'm happier with the way my Sims and lots look. I did keep my default eye replacements though. I tried going without those and it's absolutely a no can do. Same for the interior lighting mods I use (Into the Light and Out of the Dark) and my ReShade preset. Some things are just essential.
I was super addicted to mods in Sims3 but that game had so many problems you almost needed them to play. I have never used Mods or CC for Sims4 and have not really missed them. You can pretty much get around customizing things with cheat commands. I Looked up all the cheats and watched some video's on using them and it's all I have needed. As far as New Crest go's I have not made my way there yet. I keep saying I am going to do something with it and I have a great idea now and then but I will forget it or it sounds like to much work so I don't do it. I am going to do something with it soon though. Also for customizing faces on Sim, I had a tough time at first without relying on CC to, now after playing so long without them I have learned how to tweak details back and forth between normal edit and detail edit in CAS to actually get really good looking Sims. The Sim in my profile pic is modeled after me when I was a teenager living in Hawaii, someday I am going to find a real pic and post them side by side, its pretty close in detail. ( if the Guru's allow such things.)
