Pros and Cons of a Modpack
| Pros |
Cons
|
- May reduce amount of Mods.
|
- If the packing is done without a permission, it is very easy violation of some licenses and Steam Workshop EULA.
- May cause an outdated issue unless you update the Modpack which you never need to if you load the actual Mods in the first place.
- May cause an unintentional Mod overwrite/conflict. (e.g. if the Modpack contains ACE yet you load actual ACE, will make a conflict and could result an unexpected issue.)
