That helped me find about 370+ identical mods that had been randomly thrown into folders by people releasing pre-made sims...
The best thing to do is to stop downloading pre-made sims. Spend the time enjoying that part of the game known as Create A Sim and make your own. I'm sure you can do a better job in the way that you want your sims to look anyway.
But more importantly, avoid downloading bundled mods that come with these pre-made sims and just tossing them blindly into your Mods folder. That's just asking for a whole lot of trouble. Unless you can specifically identify what mods have been included with that sim, you run the risk of installing old, outdated mods. If there are script mods included in that bundle, that makes matters even worse.
Yes, there are people out there who make some pretty sims. That doesn't mean that they should be trusted in the way they mod their game.
Take a moment to ponder this thought. Would you blindly hand over your computer to a total stranger? That's what you're doing when you download a pre-made sim and install all of the mods required. You're basically letting that person dictate what should be on your hard drive.
