No objection to mods. They extend gameplay considerably. Occasionally they 'fix' minor to major issues and complaints or just want to add variations to the game. Occasionally they make some tedious task easier in games or allow for skipping over actions that some find boring or irrelevant to their style of gameplay. Occasionally, they have perspectives that the developers don't have the time or are unable to implement, particularly modern games that are so complex now and have long production times.

Mods are optional. I don't understand when people who desire vanilla games complain about mods.

Hats off to these talented modders. There's been several games I"ve played where a group of modders add storylines to the game.

If I had the time and skill I'd probably be modding the games as well.
