This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Mod (from the English "modification") is an addition to a game that changes its content, gameplay, graphics, audio, or other aspects. Modifications allow players to create their own versions of the game, altering it to suit their preferences or adding new features.
Mods can be created by the player community or game developers. They can be quite simple, such as changing the appearance of characters or objects in the game, or complex, such as adding full-fledged stories, missions, new characters, game modes, or even creating entirely new worlds of gameplay.
Thanks to mods, players can enjoy a more diverse gameplay experience and extend their gaming experience after completing the original game.
Games are also modified for fun and to create humorous video content. For example, replacing a character in the game with a cat or anyone else can make people laugh quite a bit.

Who are modders / video game modders?

Modders are those who create mods. They can take the game's code and other resources provided by the developers as a basis and modify them according to their ideas and skills.
It is important to note that not all games allow modifications, or they may be restricted by the rights or prohibited by the developer or publisher's policy. Additionally, installing mods can be associated with risks, as incorrect modifications can disrupt the game's stability or cause problems with its functionality.
Therefore, before installing any mod, it is recommended to check resources where officially approved and safe modifications can be found (modifications may contain dangerous code) and to follow the installation instructions.
