Modding Games

Do you mod? Do you use mods? How often do you use mods to change a game?

I love mods if they fit in with the game. I like modding Oblivion, Morrowind, and The Sims in particular.

Recently, I began modding Baldur's Gate 2, my second favorite game of all time. I just downloaded a pair of new party members you can pick as well as a romance subplot (he was intended to have one originally, but it was scrapped. Shame.) and a mod that facilitates banter between party members. They all work well, they fit the game world and offer a rewarding experience and uniqueness without dominating them. I hope to soon try to mod a set of party members for the game myself. (Anybody interested? xD)

So, do you use mods in games? How much, if at all?

Never made any myself, but loved using them and seeking out interesting ones when I was really into that first generation of Half-Life expansions and derivatives. Counter-Strike in particular, since I was always playing it anyway, it wasn't hard to find a lobby that had some good mods on it. Of course, the game had an insane community making custom maps, but I'll always remember one X-Men mod where instead of picking guns and equipment on the loadout screen, you would select mutant powers. Good times :)

Towards the end of my 8 year career on FFXI I decided to mod heaps of things, first for asthetics and eventually for more sinister shenanigans.
