Modders are also hard at work in developing new mod packs that offer a whole new experience in the game. Some mods offer tweaks and improvements whereas others come with a complete overhaul of the map, units, and characters.

Modding a game can significantly improve its quality in many aspects. From The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to Mount and Blade: Warband, modding has always been quite important for gaming. Considering the amount of effort put into these content packs, we can say that modders are the heroes of the gaming world.
