New to Skyrim on PC, should I start with a modpack?

Just bought the special edition and everyone says to mod it. Installing hundreds of mods one by one looks scary. Are curated modpacks a good starting point for a first playthrough, or better to add a few mods myself first?

I'd play vanilla (or with a handful of bug fix mods) for your first run. Big modpacks change balance and UI a lot and you won't know what's the game and what's a mod, and when something breaks you'll have no idea why. Once you've done the main quest and a few guilds, a curated list through Wabbajack is a great second playthrough.
