Note*
Some mods will come as an installer. Like From Skydaz as showed in the where to get mods link above, they will come in a .zip or .rar so you just run the program inside and it will automatically install it for you.
Just MAKE SURE you CHOOSE the RIGHT Minecraft VERSION!!!
Last but not least, only install 1 mod at a time. Then go back and check to make sure it works.
My first time, I wanted all the mods. Well all the mods didn't want to work together so I had to go back to point "A" and install them 1 by 1.
It will help in the long run.
Sometimes, 2 mods are incompatible with each other and will make the other crash, you never know. That's why you should be safe and back everything up to start with, and only install 1 mod at a time.
