I have not jumped on the CC/Mods bandwagon yet. It was out of necessity with my old laptop, it could barely handle just the game as it was. I have a proper gaming desktop now, so there really isn't anything holding me back. I just haven't made an effort to look for anything yet and I'm a little scared/anxious to start.
I went hog wild in TS2, had over 10 GB of all manner of CC/Mods. Honestly, for awhile I wasn't even playing the game, just searching for CC and Mods. I loved every bit of it but, having that much extra 'stuff' broke my game at the end and made it all but unplayable. My own fault...
While playing, I keep thinking to myself, "Wow, some body hair sure would improve how this guy looks. Wish I had eyelashes for my Sim, maybe I should go get some stuff. Gah! We need more beds in this game. Hmm, I wonder what kind of CC beds are out there? Why are the potted plants so limited, wish we had more. Grr! This modesty blur is so annoying. I wonder if anyone made a mod to get rid of it like I had in TS2? More water, really? WTH?" Etc., etc. But for some reason I can't bring myself to actually go looking for anything, at least not yet.
I think I'm also a little unnerved by all the 'problem' threads I read on here that CC/Mods end up being the reason something won't work right. Plus, so many talk about how they can't even play with their custom content after patches until the creators update their files. I'm having fun with my vanilla game, so I wonder if I really need any CC/Mods even though I know deep down I would adore having it all if I ever do take the plunge.
I like most of the CAS items that come with the base game and all the packs, so my mods folder is mostly script mods like MC Command Center and LittleMsSam's stuff. Most of my CC is for my decades challenge, but I feel that once my game progresses to the 50s or so I may not need as much as I have now. I do have quite a bit of CC for toddlers and children because most of their hair and clothing wouldn't fit my current decade.
At present my computer has a major memory leak (fairly sure my ram is going bad and I'm in the process of rebuilding my pc because its time anyway) so I'm running with no cc at all but normally I carry several GB's of cc at any given time so its 0 now but its usually 4000+

I'd like to add CC to my game once I am able to figure out the perfect settings for my system. I prefer Maxis Match CC for TS4 though, where as I used more realistic items for TS3.
70 pieces. Mainly shoes, a few male tops, a few female outfits, and some decor items for my retail shops. Total of 48 MB.
Forgot about a lovely beachy themed bedroom/bathroom I just downloaded from TSR. Doing some redecorating tonight.
Right this moment none.. but I redownloaded some suits I want to use in my game and will put them in later today. I'll be way less than 300 when I do that though.
Almost at 5000 pieces of not more I lose track I should probably organize them into files since I just have them all in one big file but the only issue I really have is the game takes really long to load up which does kinda suck and when I first start the game it's slow but then gets better. I do like the freedom though of making sims look how I want and how script mods make the game more realistic. I like to make characters from movies and games too so cc helps
170 pieces so far. I'd like to go for more, but I don't know how much pressure this laptop is able to withstand until it goes KERPLUNK. Let's just say, the amount of times I've scrolled through CC sites, just to spend the next 5 minutes quietly debating against myself over whether it's worth freezing my game up for... you got to think very carefully about these things.
I dont think my cc reaches this threshold but this is the closest one I can pick, I would say less than 250 cc including mods and stuff, I just need more nice hairtstyle maxismatch hair for my male sims, female is already good as it is tbh.
I organize/edit/and delete my CC frequently. I know I have between 1200-1300 atm, and that's because I went on a downloading binge this week. I download clothing and hair frequently, but I delete them if I don't use them, or if CAS thinks every random townie spawned from that day on should wear it (RIP bantu knots)
I have probably 100 mods, though. There are just so many little things that annoy me. Clipping issues or silly and excessive animations (Everyone in my town should have Popeye arms with all the push-ups they do. ) Also, ts4 is just so much eeaaasier than TS3 was. I find myself collecting mods to lower wages and raise bills and cause diseases so that I feel like I have to try.
