Packaging UIs

I'm curious about something. When you guys package your UIs do you throw in all the mods as well, or just make the list of mods for people to feel free to download on their own since your savedvariables will have all of the information already stored and only attach custom made mods that go along with it? (ie chat window creation/sizing etc etc).

I packaged a UI some time ago and just threw in all the mods currently at the time, but I was just thinking that's kind of a huge waste of space for the download, so not sure how viable the option I listed would be.

A UI is, essentially, a large package of mods and addons which are all configured to the author's liking, so yes, you would have to include everything in the download. Otherwise there would be savedvariables for non-existent addons.
