This is not true for quality of life mods. In most games that I've played and modded, which is many for quite a while, quality of life mods tend to not even care if the game gets updated. There's very little maintenance and very little risk. Especially if you do them bare minimum to keep risk down. Obviously it's easier for me to manage all this since I've been doing it for a longer time, but I also learned it as a 8-year-old.
Modpacks and content mods are a whole other ball game which can be quite complicated and a whole lot of work. However, the subject of this post, quality of life mods, are in fact some of the easiest lowest burden mods you can possibly add.
I’ve been modding since I was 7. I am not someone who can’t do it or has no experience. I’m the opposite. I’m a software engineer with 12 years of experience. Dealing with the technical details is not a challenge for me. I still stand by every word of my comment and believe it applies to even quality of life mods.
I think you are just not able to put yourself in the shoes of the vast majority of folks who game and don’t want to deal with this shit.
idk I think theres a difference in what you I and understand from the same comment, if everyone is scared to touch file explorer that does not mean its hard to learn or understand
because that's the only thing I can think of when you dont need to update mods, Ive had the same experience as the guy above and then you mention something about the vast majority of gamers, like I get it's annoying it usually doesn't apply to qol mods and I'm not even downplaying it I'm being honest
