While it is true that there is no SH5 supermod out there for everyone to install-ready to use alot of work has been done to help people on their way to install mods etc.
First if i were you i would just start to read alot in the SH5 forum, there are enough good modders out there that are on the forum on a daily basis and i'm sure they are glad to help you out with installing and preparing to have the game tailored just like you want it.
Modding is not really difficult, you just have to start somewhere as most of us did at any given time, it takes a little effort but once you understand the whole thing modding is relatively easy and you can experiment wich is more challenging and interesting in my opinion than just install a supermod without really knowing what changed the game.
There are modlists in the SH5 forum that are tested and stable and provide alot of enhancement to the stock game, just try and fiddle around with the game, it won't bite you.
The payback for your own effort to get things running is way more satisfying than just install something..
And yes, the modders deserve huge credit, as all the modders for all the different SH games do! I'll just leave it at that
