Everyone has heaped praise for Terraria, so I'm going to go the complete opposite.
Mind you, it is a really great game with tons of mod support, but thanks to the way TModLoader is structured, and the fact that it is now on Steam with all the mods auto-updating, Terraria constantly updating its base game with tons of items, most of which are just fluff hampers TModLoader and long-term mod playthroughs.
Accordingly, you can only hope each mod you installed updates every monthly TModLoader stable update, or you risk breaking that given world, sometimes temporarily as you lose the custom blocks from map generation, other times permanently because the mod changed something very fundamental in the world it won't load anymore.
TL;DR, Terraria needs to stop updating tp its next Final Update.
