Installing mods into existing vanilla world

[ryabspeb]

Apologies for the noobish question - I've been playing a vanilla world for around 60 hours or so, and I've spotted some ace mods I'd like to bring into my world with tModLauncher. I know how to transfer my world and characters into new mods, but how will this affect my game?

Is it recommended that I start from scratch with mods or can I introduce them into my world after beating the moon lord? Worried I might miss a lot of stuff?

Yes, start from stratch, several mods add item generation items or biomes and not having a new world will mean none of these.

Ah cool - makes sense, I might carry a character over though to get a head start then. I've been advised to look at Thorium, but are there are others that are highly recommended?
