Additionally, you don't need to risk your world saves.

1) Before you install *any* Terraria mod, make a backup copy of your world and player files. Typically those are found in the Documents/My Games/Terraria directory.

2) If you decide to uninstall mods and go back to normal Terraria, completely uninstall Terraria, reinstall a fresh copy, and then make sure to replace your world and player files with the backups copy you created before modding.
