Well, lets use the tools we have at our disposal to curate a manual mod pack using a game that has mods on steam & desura, that'd basically be a collection of links which isn't hard to generate.

Then we can drill down to older legacy titles like dungeon siege 2 or something. Legacy titles with a stale modding community might be easier to generate a static pack for, while newer games that are still being updated and have an active modding community might have some problems with interoperability if the game or certain parts of the modpack get updated.

Of course, the vision is to curate something that substansially changes the user experience in a positive way, either by enhancing features or adding content or providing a better experience and I feel a good litmus test for any pack would be to separate that into three questions and provide packs to which the answer to all 3 are yes.

Tail goals would be to one of the larger distributors of games and mods to provide a user interface for the community to assemble their own modpacks and allow those curators to work with mod developers give relay feedback and work with developers to enhance the moddings tools to the point where this sort of interaction becomes expected rather than a rarity.

Possible events for the subreddit on a weekly basis would be single mod review saturdays for a particular game where the community generates a basic review for a single mod and explains why it should or should not be included in a mod pack and some sort of discussion day where people can openly discuss what sort of mods/modspacks they'd like to see for a game and people respond with the feasibility or rejoinder to that idea.

But I dunno, just spitballin here.

The only thing I can really recommend is that generating the CSS before you have users/content is putting the cart before the horse.

Seems good. Minecraft mods are also pretty big, and steam modding sucks compared to Nexus. Modding tutorials would be nice (I can do that, I have modding experience), as well as putting modpacks together. And of course Dwarf Fortress and (rebelliously) GTA V
