The most popular mods for the most popularly modded games tend to be aesthetic mods that tweak the look and sound of a game. Take Skyrim , one of the most heavily modded games of all time, and take a look for some of its mods. But a picture is worth a thousand words. Click the images to enlarge them if you want to bask in all the improvements. Audio mods are only popular in some games, but they can do interesting things.
Some mods focus on decreasing visual quality, to allow games to run better on underpowered hardware or simply increase the frame rate for a more buttery feel.
Many competitive players reduce graphical quality just enough so that the important details are still visible, but the framerate can be as high as the hardware will allow it to be. Fixing bugs and enhancing system compatibility are the key reasons for technical modding.
Sure, it may feel like every classic game is getting an HD remaster this week, but not all fan favorites are so lucky.
A supportive modding community can help add a much-needed layer of modern polish. Playing the older games on modern monitors results in ugly black bars surrounding the picture, or worse, visual stretching and distortion.
Big difference, eh? Some mods take aim at player-discovered bugs. Other games, such as Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords , may contain unfinished content, causing some weird dead ends in gameplay and storytelling.
Communities have banded together to resolve these in different ways, such as The Sith Lords Restored Content mod , which utilizes unused assets in the original game as well as original efforts to effectively close off the loose ends. Gameplay mods change how you play a game, covering aspects like difficulty scaling, character progression systems, control schemes, adding or removing certain mechanics, or even interface changes.
A perfect example of a mod that alters difficulty is Brutal Doom. This mod for the earlier Doom games—not the edition—effectively cranks everything up to 11 by adding a ton of enemies and giving foes new tactics. It also greatly expands the gore and destruction that Doom is famous for.
The first Dark Souls game on PC used a sort of emulation to effectively translate keyboard and mouse into controller actions, and generally lacked control options. These mods ditched the emulation and added raw mouse input, mouse acceleration and sensitivity settings, and key mapping. These control mods not only provide options for PC purists, but also opportunities for gamers with disabilities who depend on custom hardware and button mapping to get their game on.
Many gameplay mods can complement each other that provide a fresh experience to a game. Sometimes, you just need more. The game was either so good, or missing just enough, that someone felt the need to add even more to it.
Content mods tend to be a combination of the previous categories plus additional components that add something new to the game. The additions have their own visuals, sounds, and gameplay changes all combined. Always be cautious. There are still ways for viruses to creep in during that 5- to second period between AdFly running its ads and AdFly finally leading you to the download page.
