Are there any strategies I should use while downloading mods?

Spoiler

I'm a bit new to this forum rn so I hope this is in the right place to post this.

 

So, basically I have a 15 gigabyte mod folder and I'm planning to assemble a new modpack in September because the current one I have is somewhat extremely distressingly chaotic and whenever I download a new mod I have to sit there and pray that it works with the rest of the mods I have. I was wondering if theres any strategies I should use while making my new modpack (I do it manually usually but I'm open to suggestions now).

I don't know if this might work for you, but it worked fine for me.


I myself have about 11 Gigabytes of mods, and what i did was installing them in batches, those that i already liked and knew they worked i installed first, opened the game and checked if everything was alright.

Then i added one batch of 15 mods, checked if they worked and i liked. Those i disliked i removed and those that didn't worked i took a look if i could make a quick fix. (Repeat until you tested and removed those you dislike/don't work)

I did that until i got my current install, pretty satisfied with it.


One thing you can do narrow down what you like faster is thinking about what is your goal with that install, (like, if you want a realistic experince, a more casual one, something else entirely, etc.). This way you can decide wich mods fit or don't fit your objectives.
