But if you have organized your mods folder it would make it a lot easier to locate the mod that needs to be updated. Because sadly, whenever there’s a new game update, more often than not it will break a lot of the mods.
One thing I highly recommend is to Organize your Mods folder by the Mod names. In your game go to Options (press the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen) and from there click on Game Options, then click on Other and from there select Enable Custom Content and Mods. You would also need to enable mods through the options menu in The Sims 4 game. Some mods are faithfully updated, but others have broken over time with new patches and features added by EA. But the general idea is that you download the file(s) and place those into your Mods folder (Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods). The biggest challenge with Sims 4 mods is determining which ones still work. Most mod creators have included clear instructions on how to install their mods. I would definitely play the game without custom content but never without mods. Mods are what give the game so much depth and possibilities. I personally think The Sims 4 wouldn’t be as successful as it is without mods and custom content but especially mods. The best part is that mods are created by the players, who actually play and enjoy the game. Simply put, mods add features or can change the functions in the game. According to The Sims 4 Wiki: Mods are modifications to the game that affect visual and/or functional elements.
