Possible [REQ] SH5 Mega Mod possibilities

Not trolling or what not....just a simple question. Am I'm sure it's been asked in the past. We all know about SH3 and GWX..... is this going to happen for SH5??
Let me caveat what I just wrote by saying....SH5 is Dead without the MODers. There would be no continued interest in this game if it weren't for the MODers. This is not meant to be a "give me, give me, give me" type of thread....nor should be interpreted as a lack of respect for anyone associated with Modders or administrators. I have the utmost respect to both! This is simply a question of actual possibilities and a thread to learn more about Modding and the how to's and how not to's of the subject.

I think a MM (Mega Mod) would ease some suffering from not only the uninformed Simmer as well as the veteran Simmer who is accustom to MODing SH5....much like it did with SH3. It allowed everyone to be on the same page with reguards to troubleshooting..... no More MOD soup..... no More restarting a career. No more tweaking (to a point...its never done tweaking

)

So what about limitations about SH5 that make this difficult to implement? How is this different than say SH3? What are the hold backs of doing this effectively? I can think of a couple (from a person with limited computer expertise).... having to manually change files.....obvious hard coded files....etc. Getting a group of Modders to agree a pon the "list" of MODs that everyone thinks are "right" (via the internet).
