They provide a much more enjoyable experience without having to select and install 40+ mods ala carte.
GFO stands for Game Fixes Only. It is a supermod that fixes many glitches in the stock game. What makes it attractive is that it is designed to have mods added. So if you want to use it and try a mod that interests you, it is a safe way to go. Mixing mods is always a risk, as sometimes it screws up the game, overwrites files you do not want overwitten, and can cause a crash to desktop. You can always uninstall the mod via JGSME.

An interesting mod is Run Silent Run Deep Campaign (RSRDC.) Lurker has recreated the routes and components of TF and Convoys during WW2. So, when you get ready, you can find the location of key naval battles, sail to the location, and participate. This is a mega or supermod that is integrated with the stock game, GFO, RFB and TMO. The mod is named after a famous Hollywood submarine movie.
