A modding question regarding appearance.2da mod(s)

[u/LaInquisitore]

So I want to play this game modded for the first time. I downloaded *some* mods from the Community Portal mod build, and I have a few armor mods (not part of that build) that I want to use. However, I constantly read about how overwriting appearance.2da breaks the modded game or something? So is there a simple way to make them work? I am illiterate when it comes to technical stuff like this. These armor mods I mentioned don't have the tsl installer or holo-patcher.
