Team Vanilla VS Team CC & Mods

When I found out about mods and CC for Sims1 it's been the rule since and without them I don't think I would have played those games as long as I did. However, with Sims4 I started out with mods and CC but got too discouraged with everything "breaking" with every patch. The only 'have to have' is the "nomosaic", other than that my Sims4 game is vanilla.

I play with historical families so mods/cc is a must.

Nope can't play without them, especially MCCC. I used to have alpha hairstyles for both male and female because I hated the first hairstyles EA came up with. But lately I've noticed I don't mind the hair as much as I used to. So I am trying to keep my mods folders under control. (I mean, 47mb for a hairstyle??) The alpha hairs are beautiful, don't get me wrong, but now am trying to go with MM.

Any game with mod support will have its life multiplied by at least 100%. Vanilla ain't that bad but boy, you're missing out if you don't use mods. Personally I'm not a fan of the "Disney worlds" everybody is happy and stuff in the Sims 4.

I like games with a more sinister/darker setting (Path of Exile, Thief 1/2/3 for example). So mods like Serial Killer Mod by Dramatic/Sacrificial make the game more funny and keep things interesting.

Like others said, there are so many mods that YOU are able to create almost exactly what you want.

There are just some mods I can't live without (MC Command Center, Reduced Random Townies and No EA lashes etc)
I also love Maxis Match CC, mostly discovering and looking for it because it's so relaxing just scrolling through different CC finds blogs and imagining the sims that you would create with those items. :''D I'm probably the only person who enjoys looking for CC more than actually using it :'D

*Bump*

I'm just patiently playing vanilla.. :D

I'm all ways worried about mods so I try not to use them

The sims look so much better and unique with CC. Without it they look too much alike. I also like to build and don't want the same things over and over.

I think mods and cc is one of the reasons why I still play this game.
