I am fairly new at minecraft. I have been playing for a few months and now I am adding mods. I am having the hardest time installing mods that come in a zip folder (I think its a .jar file?). Here' what I am having trouble with:
I have the latest Forge and I have 15 mods successfully installed with that and they work pretty good, but whenever i got, for example More Explosives Mod, I followed the installation instructions and that doesn't work. I have also tried to copy my .jar file, rename it and adding the mods files to it with Winrar. I think that may have worked but I cant play the game with both the Forge mods and the the other mods. How can I play with all mods loaded on the same profile? Or am I installing it wrong?
I can't seem to find a lot of tutorials on Youtube about this in regards to 1.7.10 and Windows 8.1 Mod installation. If any of you guys reading this do tutorials please make some new. That would be awesome.
Also, I got the Balkon's weapons mod and it works in the game except if i shoot the cannon or blow up dynamite it crashes the game. Any thoughts on that? I have the 1.7.2 version of that mod.

Before I start, your OS does not mean anything. Regardless of OS, the process of installing mods is the exact same.
Anyways, assuming you meant adding the files to the .jar, the .jar being the game's .jar, you do not need to touch that anymore. At all. So yeah, you're installing mods wrong.
The correct way to install mods is to download Forge, in specific the installer, use the installer to install Forge, then just drop the mods in the mods folder, for any Forge-compatible mods, which are most. One's that aren't, AFAIK, for the most part, should also be able to be loaded from the mods folder. I know for a fact Optifine does, same with FPSPlus.
If you found these steps in a tutorial, I'm afraid to say that tutorial is outdated. Make sure you pay extra attention to the release date of the tutorials before you use them, anything older than at least 4-6 months and they are no good.
