After a frustrating evening of trying to help someone out to install forge and mods we happened to try this idea and to our delight it worked.
Its is probably the easiest way ive ever added mods to Minecraft and also completely bypasses the forge not loading error or Minecraft Forge Installer Not Opening.
There is no need to download any extra binary files and all you need is the CurseForge launcher. Using its in game modpack creator we can then create a folder for our mods and automatically have forge and all the library’s installed by the launcher.
Allowing us access to the mods folder to then upload one from out pc. Then simply click play and your good to go!
