1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,440
ah these games are too boring I've conquered all the bosses gathered every

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:14,200
bit of rare loot and there's no new games coming out if only there was some

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:18,400
way I could breathe new life into my

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,720
older ones oh wait there is whether

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:26,599
you're looking to renew a well-played game uh by adding content such as new

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,320
unique Loot and quests or altering game mechanics and user interfaces to deliver

7
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:35,280
a more immersive experience experience or trying to get the most out of old

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:40,480
titles on your new hardware by amping up the graphics to levels never before

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,360
thought possible mods are often the way

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:48,640
to go but since the term mod can be applied to literally anything that

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,359
modifies A Game's code from the original or vanilla State we thought it might be

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,559
best to split up the available mods out there into four basic categories the

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:03,000
first type is content add-ons they describe any mods which which add files

14
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:08,799
to the game that weren't there before such as new areas story quests and

15
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:14,920
enemies but do not include those which modify or remove operational code and

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,479
files from the vanilla game mods that do

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:22,200
perform these functions are often referred to as gameplay mechanics tweaks

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,479
or overhauls depending on their scale they include anything that alters

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:31,439
pre-existing quests stats or character abilities including those which may make

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:36,560
enemies harder to destroy or add new powers such as speed running or flying

21
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,399
if a mod of this type attempts to correct real or perceived mistakes in

22
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:46,560
the game's vanilla design they are often referred to as unofficial patches which

23
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:52,640
is a nice way of implying they've done a better job than the studios's official

24
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:54,799
patch the third and possibly most

25
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,840
popular type of mods are known as graphical art mods these can have a

26
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:04,880
range of effects from improving or replacing lower quality textures with

27
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:09,920
high definition ones to modifying effects or even color balance often

28
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,400
times if a game is popular users or groups of users will even develop

29
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:19,519
conversion packages which alter nearly every aspect of the game's visual design

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,480
usually while adding a small amount of necessary content or altering the

31
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,519
mechanics somewhat to make sure that you know that new tree texture doesn't allow

32
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,720
you to walk you know 6 in into it because it's bigger than the original or

33
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:37,360
whatever else the case may be sometimes though regardless of how nice a game can

34
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:42,200
be made to look or be balanced annoying little things such as menu navigation

35
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,000
can limit a person's ability to become fully immersed and enjoy their game so

36
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,360
this style of mod can have certain capabilities like getting rid of Hud

37
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:56,519
clutter when it's not in use or minimizing the time spent in Annoying

38
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:01,680
inventory menus some are even necessary for other mods to be installed or to

39
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:07,200
allow their indiv idual settings to be changed so while all this modding can be

40
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:12,159
great for extending a given title's potential sometimes even into their

41
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:16,959
completely own spin-offs and franchises it goes without saying that altering

42
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:22,560
vanilla code heavily can lead to some interesting bugs and crashes in fact a

43
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:27,040
person usually isn't considered a uh you know full you know card carrying member

44
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:32,120
of the modding Community until they have completely wrecked a gamees code and and

45
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:38,799
or you know hundreds of hours worth of save games at least once necessitating a

46
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,680
full reinstall and restart but have no

47
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:45,360
fear because programs known as mod organizers or loaders have started to

48
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:50,560
spring up which assist careless noobs in their efforts to mod many popular games

49
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:55,200
from Minecraft to Skyrim there's also now a bevy of people and networks which

50
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,400
allow potential moders to find out everything they need to know before

51
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,920
taking the leap so if one now wishes to add a special sword or armor to their

52
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:07,079
favorite character or horse or what's

53
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,920
more likely remove them since that seems to be the main Obsession of the modding

54
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:17,880
community at large all they must do is follow the light and pay money or not

55
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:22,360
boy that was some quick backpedaling speaking of following the Light fresh

56
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:27,759
books fresh books is designed for freelance workers or small businesses

57
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:33,080
it's an online tool that makes invoicing getting paid and tracking expenses

58
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:39,080
easier it's all about those little details like cash flow actually that's a

59
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,280
really big deal for a small business and

60
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:45,840
a big business really anyone it shows a full history of each invoice and allows

61
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,759
you to check if your client has viewed the invoice and allows your clients to

62
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:55,560
pay by credit card online because half of the battle with clients sometimes is

63
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,759
getting them to well making it easy for them to pay you because if it's a hassle

64
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:04,240
then they're just going to put it off and put it off and put it off and that's money that you don't have to reinvest

65
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:07,960
into your business it's really great for freelance guys as well because you can

66
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,360
update your freshbooks time sheet from your phone and pull project hours right

67
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,720
into an invoice so you're constantly logging them and keeping track so that

68
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,560
you don't have to go and be like oh it's the end of the month how much time do I

69
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:28,000
work on this project if I under Bill I'm screwing myself if I over Bill they're

70
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,880
going to be like yo dog WTF men so

71
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,919
