Is there a good mod manager for The Sims 4?

My mods folder is a mess of hundreds of files and after every patch I have to hunt down what broke. Is there a mod manager that lets you switch mods on and off and spot outdated ones, or does everyone just sort folders by hand?

Two habits save most of the pain. Script mods (.ts4script files) only work one folder deep inside Mods, so don't bury them in subfolders. And after every patch, delete localthumbcache.package in the Sims 4 documents folder before launching. Half the 'my mods broke' posts are just a stale cache.

CurseForge has Sims 4 support now. Mods you install through it can be switched on and off in the app and it tells you when there's an update. Doesn't help much with stuff downloaded by hand though. For finding what broke after a patch, Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi is the thing. It reads the error and usually tells you which mod caused it. Otherwise it's the 50/50 method: move half the folder out, test, keep halving. And if you sort by hand, script mods (.ts4script) can only be one subfolder deep or the game won't load them. Package files can go deeper.
