What kind of games are you into?
I love Skyrim and Fallout 4 although I don’t know my capabilities modding quite yet. I’m definitely interested in mods.

Dont psych yourself out about modding. Most mods are installed by downloading a file and just dragging & dropping said file into a specific folder. If you go to Nexus Mods website and download mods from there, the mod creater will tell you specifically which folder to drop the mod into.
If you purchase a game through steam and its mods are largely found through steam itself, then its even easier. Just select "subscribe" to the mod on steam's mods page and it'll install it for you.
A game like Skyrim has a little more nuance since some mods have to be placed in a specific order. But there are programs that read your mods folder and tell you which order to place your mods, so even that is made easy. Skyrim was the first game that I modded and admittingly did follow a youtube video for initial setup & installing my first few mods, but eventually I had 40+ mods installed including one that turned Skyrim into a third person, demons souls style combat game.
Going through literally thousands and thousands of mods for some games and choosing what to install is oftern more fun than the actual game itself

I'll echo what TTown said.
I'll add that Nexusmods has a mod installer called Vortex that makes it fairly easy.
When you start to stack mods, you'll get to a point where you may have to look up how to prioritize load order. Also, it helps to read the mod author's description because they'll often tell you where to load it and even the order with other popular mods you may have.
It takes some patience and sometimes trial and error of loading the game and dealing with crashes from mod conflicts but it becomes easier to figure out.
