Team Vanilla VS Team CC & Mods

Team mods! I do use quite a few. I use some CC but don't have an epic amount. Ok I take that back. My mods folder is about 50 percent mods and 50 percent CC. :D

I've thought about it but I don't want to have to worry about keeping up with the updates or about new bugs.

I'm not anti-mods if people want to use them. There are a few that have sounded interesting to me like the one that reveals hidden traits in townies. I just don't want to worry about frequently backing up saves or the potential for something to go wrong. I've done a lot of my own household management. Maybe at some point, I'll change my mind but right now, I play a vanilla game that I manage myself.

I modded previous versions of the sims games. I have nothing against mods/CC, I just found that checking the mods/cc to make sure they didn't break after an update became tiresome. Plus, I also spent way more time looking through CC than actually playing the game. :D Now, I find a challenge in using what I'm given in build/buy and it's resulted in some builds that I actually liked, even though I wasn't sure I could.

#TeamVanilla where you at?!

I use both mods and CC, although I'm much more particular about it in Sims 4 than I was in 2 & 3. Now I use mostly MM hair and some makeup, and I only use mods to "fix" things that don't work or that truly bug me.
Edit: I must have my wedding gowns and veils as well :D

MCCC starded my mod loving obsession. I really missed having story progression in the game among other features that MCCC can provide for us that wasn't in game.

I love being able to bend the game more to want I want it to be.

Can't be bothered to update with every patch.

Can't be bothered to go through all the effort of making builds only to have them be absolutely useless to anyone on the gallery.

Can't be bothered to put up with extra bugs and glitches that have nothing to do with the game itself.

Just can't be bothered, tbh, lol. There's not enough pros for mods and cc to outweigh the cons.

Basically this!

Don't really use CC - no CAS CC at least; I do have a couple of mods that are marked as CC, one that unlocks the bulletin board from the San Myshuno apartments so they can be placed elsewhere; haven't found a place in my Sims' homes yet where it will work, but I might try and make space at the library or one of my venues for it. I also have BrazenLotus' Sprinkler mod which does include sprinklers which are CC. I do use quite a few mods to enable my type of playstyle. For example, when I'm putting households from Not in World category into houses, I use freerealestate to place them, then I go in and play the family briefly to set outfits, then I'll use UI Cheats to give them a few skill points and jobs for the adults so the game doesn't stick them in the food carts or restaurants. Then I'll stick them in Unplayed Households and let MCCC take over. I also have a few mods that speed up programming, writing and painting so they don't take as long. And I have a mod that tones down the environmental buffs so my Sims don't feel so bipolar (come home Sad from school then immediately switch to Happy the minute they walk in the door) and another that lets Sims call their friends anytime and build relationship while talking.

So yeah, #TeamMods B)

Maxis Match CC (I am the self-proclaimed Wizard) but, not Mods.
