MOD crazy.... (which one to choose?)

[comisar]

I don't know how you guys do it. There are so many MODs outthere. What is the differnce. I am trying to categarize them all. It seems like I can get any race I want from different web sites. I will not call them Mods because I could probably use those races with any MOD, right?

I can see there are mods for single player(TDMModpack or Devnull)? What is the difference between the two? Both of these MODs have pretty much the same descriptions.

And one for multi-player (Proportions)?

There there are special mods(Pirates and Nomads) which really alter the game mechanics.

Do any of these mods borrow things from one another or they are all stand alone.

I want to play a single played MOOII type of game but with the Star Wars, Bab5, Star Trek races I have donwloaded. Which MOD will be the most realistic and challenging for me to try.

I am sorry, it is just all those different MODs have me all confused.

FOr other games that allow played to MOD that I play (Europa-Universalis) there is like a one ultimate MOD that everyone on the forum help to create. It makes it a lot easier for newbie. Why is there nothing similar for SEIV?
