What are My Mods?

My Mods is a concept created because of the wide availability of various mods. Modders have been producing many unique mods that are interesting to explore in single player instances. However, with such creative freedoms, comes the invevitable breakdown of any standards. Zip files are packaged differently from one release to another, using a variety of download hosts, and with different installation instructions.

My Mods attempts to standardize mod releases to make it easier for players to play on the latest mods, without having to jump through hoops or risking other modded files.
