In reply to SibyTheOneAndOnly:

 Not sure where you received a "FTB Reloaded" file from following my instructions.

 You do need Java installed to run the .jar file in Step 3; Run the java file and install it locally (client).

 

If you are referencing the mod downloads as the files you are unzipping, that is probably necessary depending on the mod you downloaded. If it is .zip, you will need to unzip/extract files to known location, then move those extracted files into your mods folder.
