How do you update 100s of Mods and CC?
This may be a stupid question, and maybe I am misunderstanding something, but as I understand it, after every single update you have to go through your mods folder to check for updates. The only way I...

@Stormkeep I can't believe you can go through that much that quickly! Wow! It takes me over an hour and I have about 15 to 20 mods. I obviously do it wrong, lol.
I also don't understand well enough how they work to feel confidant in knowing what might break, so I never know which updates I need to worry about.. and I am always afraid that if I have a broken mod in my game that I don't know about, play without problems (not realizing anything is broken), and I save with the broken mod in the game, then my save file will be ruined. I don't even know if that is how it happens, I have just read about so many people having broken games due to outdated mods that I assume this is what happens. Am I misunderstanding it? I wouldn't worry as much if I didn't think my whole save file was going to be ruined.
I do check for the posting date, but I think some modders probably don't have the time to go to each mod page and say a mod is up to date if they didn't need to change it, so then it will have a really old date. A good example of this is TwistedMexi's Expandable BuildBuy. It says it is updated to Spa Day. Now he is pretty active, and a modder I trust, so I downloaded it assuming he just didn't see a need to say it is current as perhaps he has not needed to make changes since then. But I see a lot of mods listed like this.
I do try to stick with Modders that I see staying active. And I recently did the thing you mentioned and bookmarked all the mods that are in my game. I do keep them organized as well. I thought cc was less of a concern but being unsure I kept looking at it too, and I had to go look up the batch fixing thing. That is interesting. Thanks for mentioning it. I do have Sims4 Studio, but I only use it to edit cc for my game, I didn't know about the batch fix thing at all.
@luthienrising thank you sooo much for the update threads. I only found out about that last month and it was helpful. There was a few mods I wanted and saw on the list that they are broken. I only have one game save. Every house I play is in the same file and I rotate houses. I don't even know what I would do with a whole new game, lol. When updates hit I usually just build stuff in a new game while I wait. I am not on discord or twitter, but it seems like both are used often by modders, so I may have to sign up just for updates I guess. My email is a swamp so...
I am actually pretty chill with mods, I don't go crazy wanting all the new things and I avoid big override mods. I just really hate certain things in the game that I know mods can fix, and those are what I focus on. Things like how fast or slow something goes, or how annoyingly often sims will do certain things. I could probably have 50 mods making these little adjustments if I wasn't always stressed about updates.
