00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:08.440
ah these games are too boring I've conquered all the bosses gathered every

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

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:18.400
way I could breathe new life into my

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:20.720
older ones oh wait there is whether

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:26.599
you're looking to renew a well-played game uh by adding content such as new

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.320
unique Loot and quests or altering game mechanics and user interfaces to deliver

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:35.280
a more immersive experience experience or trying to get the most out of old

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:40.480
titles on your new hardware by amping up the graphics to levels never before

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.360
thought possible mods are often the way

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:48.640
to go but since the term mod can be applied to literally anything that

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.359
modifies A Game's code from the original or vanilla State we thought it might be

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:58.559
best to split up the available mods out there into four basic categories the

00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:03.000
first type is content add-ons they describe any mods which which add files

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:08.799
to the game that weren't there before such as new areas story quests and

00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:14.920
enemies but do not include those which modify or remove operational code and

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.479
files from the vanilla game mods that do

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:22.200
perform these functions are often referred to as gameplay mechanics tweaks

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:26.479
or overhauls depending on their scale they include anything that alters

00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:31.439
pre-existing quests stats or character abilities including those which may make

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:36.560
enemies harder to destroy or add new powers such as speed running or flying

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:41.399
if a mod of this type attempts to correct real or perceived mistakes in

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:46.560
the game's vanilla design they are often referred to as unofficial patches which

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

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:54.799
patch the third and possibly most

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:59.840
popular type of mods are known as graphical art mods these can have a

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:04.880
range of effects from improving or replacing lower quality textures with

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:09.920
high definition ones to modifying effects or even color balance often

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:14.400
times if a game is popular users or groups of users will even develop

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:19.519
conversion packages which alter nearly every aspect of the game's visual design

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.480
usually while adding a small amount of necessary content or altering the

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:28.519
mechanics somewhat to make sure that you know that new tree texture doesn't allow

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

00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:37.360
whatever else the case may be sometimes though regardless of how nice a game can

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:42.200
be made to look or be balanced annoying little things such as menu navigation

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.000
can limit a person's ability to become fully immersed and enjoy their game so

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.360
this style of mod can have certain capabilities like getting rid of Hud

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:56.519
clutter when it's not in use or minimizing the time spent in Annoying

00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:01.680
inventory menus some are even necessary for other mods to be installed or to

00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:07.200
allow their indiv idual settings to be changed so while all this modding can be

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:12.159
great for extending a given title's potential sometimes even into their

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.959
completely own spin-offs and franchises it goes without saying that altering

00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:22.560
vanilla code heavily can lead to some interesting bugs and crashes in fact a

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:27.040
person usually isn't considered a uh you know full you know card carrying member

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:32.120
of the modding Community until they have completely wrecked a gamees code and and

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:38.799
or you know hundreds of hours worth of save games at least once necessitating a

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:40.680
full reinstall and restart but have no

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:45.360
fear because programs known as mod organizers or loaders have started to

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:50.560
spring up which assist careless noobs in their efforts to mod many popular games

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:55.200
from Minecraft to Skyrim there's also now a bevy of people and networks which

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:59.400
allow potential moders to find out everything they need to know before

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

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:07.079
favorite character or horse or what's

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:10.920
more likely remove them since that seems to be the main Obsession of the modding

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:17.880
community at large all they must do is follow the light and pay money or not

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:22.360
boy that was some quick backpedaling speaking of following the Light fresh

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:27.759
books fresh books is designed for freelance workers or small businesses

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:33.080
it's an online tool that makes invoicing getting paid and tracking expenses

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:39.080
easier it's all about those little details like cash flow actually that's a

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:41.280
really big deal for a small business and

00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:45.840
a big business really anyone it shows a full history of each invoice and allows

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.759
you to check if your client has viewed the invoice and allows your clients to

00:04:48.039 --> 00:04:55.560
pay by credit card online because half of the battle with clients sometimes is

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

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

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:07.960
into your business it's really great for freelance guys as well because you can

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.360
update your freshbooks time sheet from your phone and pull project hours right

00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:16.720
into an invoice so you're constantly logging them and keeping track so that

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

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

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:29.880

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.919
