Do you play with CC or Vanilla?
I was wondering how simmers play the game these days, with CC or without CC. Vanilla game means that you do not use CC or mods or any other 3rd party content. CC and mods is player created hair, objec...

I play HEAVY on CC. It started for me because there just are not options that suit my tastes really. Not that there aren't things I like a lot but a lot of the game content decor and fashion wise is very dated to me, and I really like more modern things (newer packs have improved this a lot since I started collecting CC, but it's there either way XD). I also do not believe there is a single EA hair that is close to my hair length. I like very long hair on my gaming characters and 9/10 times what starts me getting into modding is the lack of long hair.
When it comes to furniture and clutter I don't like a lot of what is available. It's not that it's bad, but it doesn't suit my decor tastes really, but there are a lot of CC makers who make things that are perfect for what I do in my own decor.
When it comes to mods I would say a lot of it is just adding more variety or things that make my game more enriching. For example, the custom food mod. I download almost every recipe that pops up just to have more variety. I also use a height slider because many of my sims are characters I've written out in pretty in depth detail, and having siblings that are born several years apart being the same size without being a teenager bothers me.
I also have a homework time tweak, since prior to finding it my kids pretty much came home, did homework, ate, and got ready for bed and I just didn't think that was fair. And of course magic mods and different traits.
But the bottom line for me is that if it weren't for CC and mods I'm not sure I'd still be playing Sims 4, the provided aesthetic just isn't very "me", and mods make my in game life more convenient with bug fixes, And more engaging with mod implemented features and objects. The fact that Sims 4 was so easy to make completely my own is what made me love it, and what has made me stay so long.
