So as of today. I have to say goodbye to mods for the Sims 4 which makes me sad, but unfortunately they are harmful to my laptop which is a gaming laptop but it is over 5 years old and probably due to "pass-away" soon. I love using mods for the Sims 4, makes it more fun for me. Anyways the reason I am posting this is I wanted to know how you guys make the game fun for you without mods? I still can use Custom Content, just no mods.
Lets hear some fun ideas, on how to make the sims 4 more fun without mods
HAPPY SIMMING

As far as playing without mods, good luck. I lasted 6 days before all the bugs and lack of anything interesting happening put my back on the wagon. I do suggest you update your mods and look at what conflicts.
I agree, but maybe for now I will just play without them. Like I said to @haneul I think it's the mods, so I'll play without them for a while, but I will keep MCCommand Center for sure.
Thank you so much for the tip(s)!!! I will definitely try that, it could also be still that my computer/laptop is over 5 years old and someone told me they typically last 2-3 years. But, again, thank you for the advice I will surely look into it. All the mods I use have a discord account, and I intend to ask all of them for advice as well.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Back to your question, well... i don't know. I can't play without mods. At least, not without mods that fix bugs... Eta: ...and mods that fix whims. I play mostly with whims.
Also be mindful of just cosmetic CC as there are items (majority being hairs) that weren't properly optimized and have too high of a poly count.
With Get Together use to make various groups. Even a gang or two that liked to start fights with other sims be mean and etc. Made things interesting when they'd pop up somewhere and end up causing drama.
Had my sim just bumming around mooching off people. Wasn't allowed to have a job to get the things they want, instead borrowing money and the like from sims not returning it once i got my charisma higher. Or even stealing other sims furniture for my sim.
But as lately I have played with pretty large households, I like to have free will on, and then I "need" my other mods. But with heavy tuning with the autonomy scan, I could do that too, with only MCCC on.
As I do not care about whims, those are more likely extra points for aspiration rewards.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
(That being said, I play a heavily modded game, so it would be a big adjustment for me to just stop using them)
Like @haneul said, CC is usually the culprit that causes issues due to the shear amount people have, the high poly counts (not sure if you are an alpha or maxis match person) and of course the HD textures (if you have them).
Is your laptop overheating?
Is the game slowing down?
Is it taking forever for the game to load?
How much memory does your laptop have?
How much free space on the drive does it have?
