I don't have any desire to play the game without mods because it's not worth it to me, so of course, I'll wait for them to be updated. It's not a big deal or any real hassle to me to read some basic documentation, download some files and drag them into a folder (which is the mod installation process). It's so so easy even though a file may require an occasional batch fix or edit.
My game runs well because of the mods that let me monitor and keep on top of the bugs that EA introduces into the game. I also have additional features like story progression that add some much needed depth and give life to the community around my played household. I added quite a few small quality of life mods that just make playing a more pleasant experience and Asian foods because they're really lacking in the game despite the addition of Snowy Escape. Much of my gameplay isn't even possible without mods. My sims live in Myshuno Meadows (which the game blocks from zoning as residential even though there are so few available lots)... CC also makes the game look so much better.
The bottom line is that mods are super easy to use and that I don't really like the game without mods (and probably wouldn't even play it if not for them) so of course I bother with them.
ETA: I've had mods/CC since Sims 1 and don't consider playing the Sims games without them. It's just not my playstyle.
