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...

As a general rule, object mods, that is mods affecting only one object in build buy, are less likely to get broken with patches, and will not mess up your game save if they are removed when the game is not running, like cc furnishing and doors they simply disappear from any lot they were used on. I have lots of these like functional fruit bowl, functional shower supplies, and functional sunblock lotion, including an option for vampire protection.
Trait mods and career mods are more risky, but I have not had issues that would corrupt a save enough to break the game or prevent loading of the save file. Sims with custom careers simply become unemployed if something happens to a career mod.
I avoid core script mods like MCCC and Kawaii Stacie slice of life because they make major changes to the interactions in the game. These are 99 percent likely to require updating with every patch, and removal has worse consequences than any other mod type. You also should never use more than one core mod ever, or they will conflict.
Finally, there is the 50/50 method that involves moving out half of your mods folder to a different folder. Repeat until the game loads correctly. If the game does load, immediately use the Save As button to copy and save your game to a new slot. However, it is best to back up your mods and your tray folders to another location by manually copying and pasting the folder
