Team Vanilla VS Team CC & Mods

I feel like there's so much content and so many creative things that I would miss out on if I didn't use mods and cc. I use MC Command Center, and in some ways it's super helpful. It makes the game feel more complete.

I use CC because, again, there are so many creative creators out there that create awesome stuff. But it's also because we don't always get new content that often, and adding new things to my game makes me want to keep playing.

Everything looks so better with CC, especially skin overlays, since I think the original EA skin is... well, kind of bad.

We can choose what CC we want and how we want our sims and our worlds to look like. It's way more control, which I think is something The Sims franchise is about, you know? Having control?

And mods can fix bugs, fix annoying things that keep happening, and help players to tailor their games to their own tastes. Does that make sense? I get what I think is pretty/works for me and I don't have to wait for EA to fix it.

I have tons of mods. I feel mods give me much more options opposed to the vanilla game. I like to make my own sims and I am very picky, so I try to make them as accurate as possible. Also some mods such as the mccc helps change the game play a bit to make it a bit more exciting and sort of creates a story progression that this game is lacking, giving it more depth.

Just yesterday I took out my mods and cc because my game just plays so buggy with them in. Vanilla it is for me for now on. :D

I don't use CC but I do use MC Command Center and No Mosaic

Call me a control freak in that regard, but I gotta have my mods. They aren't always bothersome if you take a moment to actually understand what to look out for, but this is mainly subjective of course. The amount of creativity and the options to mix-and-match are awesome. Storytelling is no longer a chore when trying to convey the right scene with posepacks. Mods I use are mostly for gameplay issues or adding a realistic approach to stories/challenges, like MCC (a wonderful mod I can't really do without), but the CC.... The CC is what I lose hours on thanks to the amazing creators who take time out of their lives to continue to make our gameplay a fair amount better, it's where I'm able to spend more time in cas creating a unique sim than playing and allows me to switch attire depending on my sims mood/situation. I'm not much of a builder, but it definitely helps in the furniture department as well, just being able to have a set that matches with the overall tone of a room is a plus.

The only time I've gone vanilla is with 2, and that speaks for itself since you hardly needed CC to enjoy the game, imo. Mods were hit or miss. I don't know, it could feel limited and be potentially game breaking if not done exactly right so half the time I delt with the glitches, which can be so entertaining that I didn't mind it.

Well I dont have mods, but I have a little cc. furniture and clothes mostly.

Mods broke my TS2 game. I haven't used them since.

I wouldn't be able to play the game without mods or CC. I've been an addict ever since I started using it back in TS2 days and doubt I'll ever be able to play vanilla for long periods of time, ever again lol. Updating mods every time there's a patch is annoying but I can deal with it.

took me a while to find and use the mods, but now i cant live without them - starting to think i have too many... maybe i am addicted LOL

I only downloaded maxis match cc, especially hairs and skin details. To me the original skin is not really good in my opinion. Less smooth and sometimes there's a few details I don't want
