I mod my game heavily. I don't have an issue because I pay attention to my mods. They aren't 'set it and forget it', like so many people seem to think. I don't patch immediately so modders have time to update mods. Most of them have them updated within a day or two.
To each their own. There's no right way to play the game. I know you aren't trying to start a 'fight' but so many of these threads turn into "I'm superior because I don't play with mods" OR "I'm superior because I play with mods" or both and it's silly (AGAIN, I know this isn't what you're saying, but it's what happens with these threads time and time again).
I think finding out why people play the way they play can be really interesting. I like to play with mods because they take the game beyond its capabilities and/or fix issues that aren't necessarily bugs but are annoyances. The only reason I play Skyrim still is because I can mod the you know what out of it. ;) Sims keeps me engaged better without mods but it's the mods that keep me playing consistently.
