When you modify a mod, mod dependencies arent listed on the list unless something, like a pkg or the mod itseft needed is missing. But if the mod is installed and what is missing is a pkg, the list will check by default all recommended pkgs set by the mod creator if they arent installed.
Now all those packages will become optional if they arent needed by the mod you are modifying to avoid having to uncheck things that you dont want to install all over again.
