ah these games are too boring I've conquered all the bosses gathered every
bit of rare loot and there's no new games coming out if only there was some
way I could breathe new life into my
older ones oh wait there is whether
you're looking to renew a well-played game uh by adding content such as new
unique Loot and quests or altering game mechanics and user interfaces to deliver
a more immersive experience experience or trying to get the most out of old
titles on your new hardware by amping up the graphics to levels never before
thought possible mods are often the way
to go but since the term mod can be applied to literally anything that
modifies A Game's code from the original or vanilla State we thought it might be
best to split up the available mods out there into four basic categories the
first type is content add-ons they describe any mods which which add files
to the game that weren't there before such as new areas story quests and
enemies but do not include those which modify or remove operational code and
files from the vanilla game mods that do
perform these functions are often referred to as gameplay mechanics tweaks
or overhauls depending on their scale they include anything that alters
pre-existing quests stats or character abilities including those which may make
enemies harder to destroy or add new powers such as speed running or flying
if a mod of this type attempts to correct real or perceived mistakes in
the game's vanilla design they are often referred to as unofficial patches which
is a nice way of implying they've done a better job than the studios's official
patch the third and possibly most
popular type of mods are known as graphical art mods these can have a
range of effects from improving or replacing lower quality textures with
high definition ones to modifying effects or even color balance often
times if a game is popular users or groups of users will even develop
conversion packages which alter nearly every aspect of the game's visual design
usually while adding a small amount of necessary content or altering the
mechanics somewhat to make sure that you know that new tree texture doesn't allow
you to walk you know 6 in into it because it's bigger than the original or
whatever else the case may be sometimes though regardless of how nice a game can
be made to look or be balanced annoying little things such as menu navigation
can limit a person's ability to become fully immersed and enjoy their game so
this style of mod can have certain capabilities like getting rid of Hud
clutter when it's not in use or minimizing the time spent in Annoying
inventory menus some are even necessary for other mods to be installed or to
allow their indiv idual settings to be changed so while all this modding can be
great for extending a given title's potential sometimes even into their
completely own spin-offs and franchises it goes without saying that altering
vanilla code heavily can lead to some interesting bugs and crashes in fact a
person usually isn't considered a uh you know full you know card carrying member
of the modding Community until they have completely wrecked a gamees code and and
or you know hundreds of hours worth of save games at least once necessitating a
full reinstall and restart but have no
fear because programs known as mod organizers or loaders have started to
spring up which assist careless noobs in their efforts to mod many popular games
from Minecraft to Skyrim there's also now a bevy of people and networks which
allow potential moders to find out everything they need to know before
taking the leap so if one now wishes to add a special sword or armor to their
favorite character or horse or what's
more likely remove them since that seems to be the main Obsession of the modding
community at large all they must do is follow the light and pay money or not
boy that was some quick backpedaling speaking of following the Light fresh
books fresh books is designed for freelance workers or small businesses
it's an online tool that makes invoicing getting paid and tracking expenses
easier it's all about those little details like cash flow actually that's a
really big deal for a small business and
a big business really anyone it shows a full history of each invoice and allows
you to check if your client has viewed the invoice and allows your clients to
pay by credit card online because half of the battle with clients sometimes is
getting them to well making it easy for them to pay you because if it's a hassle
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
into your business it's really great for freelance guys as well because you can
update your freshbooks time sheet from your phone and pull project hours right
into an invoice so you're constantly logging them and keeping track so that
you don't have to go and be like oh it's the end of the month how much time do I
work on this project if I under Bill I'm screwing myself if I over Bill they're
going to be like yo dog WTF men so
basically the long and short of it is if you're Your Own Boss you should be using
stuff that makes you feel like a boss and fresh books is an easy way of doing
your billing online so that you have more time to do the work you actually
want to be doing so head over to freshbooks.com tequi and don't forget to enter Tech
