[[File:Icon_widget_cogs_wheelsIcon widget cogs wheels.png|left]]'''Mod''' is short for '''modification''', or, in this case, game modification. Mods are used to alter one or some of a game's features, or even to introduce new ones. Mods are a form of custom content in that they must be downloaded and their file(s) must be placed properly. However, they are not in-game objects such as clothing or new decorative objects, though some mods use an in-game item to enable or disable their features.
 
This distinguishes them from "hacked objects". Mods mainly alter gameplay values or add/change already existing features. For example a mod could allow children to cook, or teenagers to [[WooHoo]] and become [[pregnant]].
Line 32:
Modders are not generally malicious, and trouble with mods is as likely to arise from problems such as those listed above as it is to arise from errors made by modders. For example, Awesome Mod's Configuration Tool is designed so that players who do not take the time to read instructions have the option to select a checkbox that will turn their installation of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' into a "Big Fiery Ball Visible From Space", or "BFBVFS". Basically this is a trick for catching out irresponsible Simmers. Players should '''always''' read the instructions surrounding a mod, and never use options if they're not clear on what they do.
