Mods (or modifications) are changes in the code of a video game that change the mechanics of the game.[1]
Normally, there are limitations to the abilities and content available in video games. These limitations are for a variety of reasons. Mods allow users to add clothing and objects in the game they wish the developers had included. Some actions are left out of games in accordance to the boundaries of the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) rating of the game. For example, The Sims franchise has the "Teen" rating, which is content suitable for players 13 years and older, so the code of the game doesn't allow graphic nudity or inappropriate themes for children. [2] However, using downloadable mods, players can alter the game's code to allow such prohibited behaviors as teen pregnancy or graphic nudity.
