I was just wondering if Mods are safe to use for your game. I was looking on the mod website and found a lot of cool things and I am thinking of using some of them but I am worried about them stuffing up my computer, please help, any advice would be much appreciated, thanx in advanced

Story Progression mod is wonderful. It keeps your town alive over generations by making sims you aren't playing get jobs, date, marry, have children, sometimes divorce and remarry. It will send sims to a community lot if your sims go there, so they aren't always the only ones at a club or festival.
Some people have said SP makes their game run slower, but I haven't noticed that on mine.
They are fairly simple to use. Once you install them, you can tweak them by going in-game, clicking on City Hall, click NRaas and choose which mod you want to tweak.
There are lots of flavors to the mods. Just read the FAQ about what they do.
As for downloading a sim and not seeing it in the bin ..... the sim may not have been listed as a "household". In that case, you have to go in CAS, select custom sims (the little * thingy) and find your sim in there.

Copy your Saves folder FIRST.
Once you've downloaded this, it will automatically setup the Mods folder and it's two sub-folders, plus the Resource.cgf file you'll need. This also comes with two package folders: nointro and the NoBuildSparkle files. Delete your cache files then launch your game. If you go from the Maxis screen to your latest EP loading screen, then you'll know you've got framework installed correctly. After this, you can delete the nointro file, if you desire.
When you've selected the NRaas mod of your choice, making sure the base mod's level matches the patch level of your game, then 'extract all' to the Packages folder using your document path (for PC): document/EA/Sims3/Mods/Packages. Again. clear out the cache folders from your Sims3 folder.
Launch your game. If you've installed the NRaas Mod(s)correctly, you should get a menu of script mods installed in your game. Click on the X and it will show your game saves like normal. Voila.
