Modders

Modders are individuals, or groups of individuals, who create and distribute modifications (mods) for video games, software, and occasionally hardware. These modifications can range from simple cosmetic changes, like new character skins or weapon models, to complex alterations that significantly impact gameplay, add entirely new content, or even fix existing bugs. modders often work independently, motivated by passion, and share their creations with the gaming community.
