Depends on which game, and which method of installation you'd like to use. Games that steam directly supports modding for, can be modded by simply clicking on the game, and then going to its workshop. There you can be "subscribed" (not actually paying anything,) to certain mods for a game.
On the other hand, you could go to the nexus (just google it,) and install mods through that. The advantages to this include being able to better alter your load order (so your game doesn't crash because of your mod list,) and install bigger/better mods that aren't allowed on the workshop due to file size.

If I know what you're talking about, BOSS is a program used for Bethesda games (Typically the games people are most concerned with modding... At least in my experience) that sorts your mods. Basically, it has a catalog of all (Or, at the least, most) mods for the Elder Scrolls games, Fallout games, etc. and sorts them so that your load order results in more stable gameplay and less compatibility issues. Though I don't have experience with it, I would imagine LOOT works the same way, or similarly. Without a load sorter, you have to either a) rely on the game to do it for you (Bad idea, games typically sort mods into order of when they were installed, which is not always optimal) or b) do it by hand (Not too bad for 5-10 mods, but you don't want to have to hand sort 200 mods because it gets hard to tell where to place mods in load order).
