Modding is a truly wonderful thing.Īnd, of course, it’s often used to take video game characters' clothes off. Mods can also keep a game looking fresh for years after its release date by adding new graphical updates Skyrim, for example, has had its visuals updated frequently by modders since its 2011 release. This can lead to the development of entirely new titles that become more popular than the base games they spawned from, like the way Defense of the Ancients did with Warcraft III. They allow creative people to alter a number of aspects of a game - from the graphics to the gameplay - and come up with something totally different, and often better, than the original product.
