I like CC and I think it can really expand and personalize a game to suit the individual player, but I did also end up with a lot of rubbish before I cleared everything out in my previous games.

I'm not saying don't use mods (I'm a modder myself) just you should mod responsibly. If you don't you may end up with unwanted bugs and conflicts. Checking for updates, and you should really remove your mods folder before allowing a patch. If you get mods, you have to be prepared to maintain your mods folder. Then if you are happy with it, you know you can trust that artist/modder. I'd recommend just getting one thing at a time at first, to see how it works/looks in-game. If they have a lot of content and a very large amount of downloads on their most recent stuff, that usually indicates people have used their stuff for a long time and trust them. When you find a modder or cc artist, check out the kind of feedback they get. Only get the content you feel is absolutely essential. I'm trying to stay 'light' on CC and mods for TS4 because they're patching the game a lot, and when they patch, you have to check if your mods need updating and it's a big faff if you have a ton of mods.
