Even now there is the modlauncher. If you help someone not capable of moving files from a zipfile and don't advocate to use that then maybe you are not really helping that person.

this sounds like you're assuming the mod launcher will always be there. from what i understand, that is made and supported by a user who has no obligation to keep it working if they choose to quit entirely.

Not the save folder, the GeneratedWorlds folder. 

 

Thing is, using Ravenhearst mod as an example, many mods have custom pois. can't have a generated world BEFORE the mod with custom pois is placed in, or those custom pois will never load/show up

If I'm remembering correctly, %appdata% and all its contents are also hidden. the average user/player is gonna have twice the trouble of locating, much less adding files, if they aren't admin user on their pc as well.
