We are very new to minecraft on the PC (have played MC Pocket Edition for a long time) but we are very keen to try out these new mods. We bought the most recent version of Minecraft 1.8.3 and the newest Forge (as of March 28, 2015) and we have so far only been able to get two mods to work (lucky block and Dr. Cyano's Wonderful Wands & Wizarding Armor). However there are several other mods that we would like to try that we downloaded and moved into the appropriate mod folder but they don't show up when we start the game. In particular, we are trying to get the Superheroes Unlimited Mod V.3.5.1 but it doesn't appear in our list of mods, same with Animal Bikes for example.
Do only mods that are 1.8 work on the new 1.8.3 version of MC or are there easy ways to play with older mods? Even some mods that we found in new 1.8 mod forums don't seem to load. Do you need to unzip the folders? (that's not part of the instructions). We've tried about 8 different mods that all say 1.8 compatible but they don't show up when we start the game. Is there a limit on how many mods you can have? Do you need to run MC in an older version to play those mods?
Any advice on knowing which mods will work and which ones won't with Forge would be greatly appreciated. It all seems pretty straightforward, but it is frustrating when you are excited to try a new mod (especially the super hero mod) and it doesn't work.
that is helpful - thank you for responding. So is there a way to open an older version of Minecraft to play with these older Mods? Or do we need to wait until the mods are updated to 1.8 before they work? We are especially keen to try out the Superheroes Unlimited Mod V.3.5.1, but I'm not sure why they don't tell you it doesn't work with the most recent version of minecraft?
Thank you for your help and advice - it is greatly appreciated.

Curse PremiumForge 1.8 isn't compatible with Minecraft 1.8.3. It's only works with Minecraft 1.8.
