Mods are life. They simply just are. Great call out @mialuce66 
Love, love, love inZOI and played it a lot without mods to get a feel for the base game - but nothing inspires interesting gameplay like a new hairstyle that speaks to us or custom furniture that I would have never dreamed of myself!
The Creators are talented! New content in CAZ or Build keeps the game fresh, pre-release or not. PERIODT.
Also, I love “shopping” in mods bc it is free 
I know I am not alone here. 
Playing since March, and once I started using mods this past summer, I have rando crashes when trying to start a new game, or go from home screen to CAZ, MODS, or Canvas. It was tricky to get around and a lot of hoops to jump through. Eventually it bothered me enough to post this (so I totally understand you went through something similar before you posted this topic 
): Anyone else have trouble creating a “net new” game?
Then someone moved my topic to a better topic that I found quite helpful:
The game crashes after entering the world
This is the solution that still works for me (shout out to @D1LIRS 
)
It can be a GIANT low-key pain in the gluteus maximus to wipe the data out, and reinstall all my mods, BUT this is a pre-release game still and sometimes it just bees like this 
Hopefully not forever, bc then my pleasant disposition will become quite salty 
but I am willing to do my part as a beta to help realize the vision that will be a fully released inZOI. 
Not saying I don’t mumble several choice “bad words” as I am doing it each time tho, and my hubs knows to give me space 
Also, if there has been more info on this that I missed, please lmk bc I am interested
