Mods and CC are better than the actual game content

I actually agree. I very likely would not have been playing sims 4 for very long without the CC and Mods I've found. It's that lifeless otherwise imo. Sims 2 and Sims 3? I didn't feel I needed CC or Mods, but they did add some fun additions. But Sims 4 I really feel without mods, I would have gone back and played Sims 3 again and just ignored Sims 4. I still do play Sims 3, but I feel I just would have dropped 4 altogether.
