That is entirely subjective; it depends on what you mean by "ruin." Doing actual damage to the game series? No. Mods don't enter into the cannon so any retcons, inconsistencies, etc. they introduce cannot actually harm the TES series. As for ruining the game, that depends on taste. CAN this happen? Certainly, when a mod doesn't fit with what you were trying to accomplish with your mod setup and thus disrupts the consistency you are shooting for. However, whether the game is ruined or not depends on what you, as the mod user, are going for. For me skimpy mods, anime hairs, and the like ruin the game. But someone who is aiming for that would not have the game "ruined." For the most part, mods are for customization and addition, not actually building up and expansion of the foundational game.
