Do you play with CC or Vanilla?

I use CC as well, not that many though that completely changes the look. Only tattoo's mostly and my own eyecolor cc. Also some hair for toddlers and children. I do not like those glossy skins that makes them they took an oil bath, so I have the original skintones.

I had many mods in my game but that made it so extremely slow, that I removed most of them. The only mod I use is MC Command Centre.
(By the way, this may seem like a dumb question but what's Maxis Match and Alpha exactly? If Maxis match is something like TS4 style then I only use those...)

I only use CC and no mods. The main reason and ALWAYS has been the main reason for me using CC since Sims 2 is the lacking content options for males in the game (CAS in particular) . I try to get hair as close to maxis match, but then again I wonder, why wasn't this already an option in the vanilla game? :D

I prefer game mods over cc. Never looked at maxis match though. I just hate having to keep up with the updates. Maybe when ts4 is a bit older and not updating so often, I'll look into some cc.

I have a ton of cc (3.25 GB to be exact). I mostly use it because i sometimes find the maxis hairs/clothes weird or boring. Plus my sims look more unique since they don't all wear the same clothes :tongue:

With mods I try to keep it down and only download those who changes something about the game that annoys me

Vanilla but used to use CC but it was too glitchy.

Vanilla, but lately I've been considering some mods. I'm a bit picky though; I'd only want CC that matches TS4 style. Mostly I'm interested in mods that increase gameplay rather than cosmetics though.

I use MC Command Center. It makes the game so much better, in my humble opinion. Without it, the game seems almost boring.
I don't use any custom skins, hair, clothes, etc. though.

I use cc and mods because without them, the game is too bland for my tastes. I use MCCC, of course, and mods and cc to add customization.
I try to keep the folder to under one GB, but boy is it hard, lol. I love both looks, alpha and Maxis and my sims are a combination of them. I can always spot my sims in a crowd, they're the ones that look good, lol. :D

Yes, mods are a major pain especially at patch time but if I'm going to have mods/cc then it is up to me to filter out which mods are outdated. To me, it is a labor of love, otherwise who in their right mind would do this, lol. It also helps when simmers like luthienrising makes threads and posts which mods are broken and ones that have been updated. Kudos!

MC Command Center is the only mod I use and truthfully, could not play this game without any longer. This mod makes this simply, a better game.

I use mods and mostly Maxis match CC in my game. I had played a vanilla game when it first came out and then lost interest and went back to TS3 for a bit. When I came back to TS4 I realized I really missed the details found in the previous iteration and now I can't play the game without it.
