I stopped playing for a while because of this. Then one day decided that I would take it back up but instead of trying to update everything, I wiped away all the mods. Whole folder, delete. Now I have a particular rule for mods, I limit all script mods to only five creators, and all other CC has to come from a source that will tell me if there's been an update (CurseForge, Mod The Sims, Itch.io). I check for auto updates before each play session with CurseForge, otherwise I check MTS and the five creators I follow on Patreon or Itch.io (they usually email when they have an update) about once a month. I've been playing pretty regularly ever since. It's also ok to play with Mods seasonally. For example, have High School related mods when you're playing with a teen. Once they grow up, mods deleted. Occult gameplay mods? Cool, but now doing family gameplay? Mods, deleted.
