Mod (video gaming)

In some video games, there are tools or pieces of software called mods. These mods can be downloaded and added to the game to change how it works, looks, or behaves.

Imagine you have a toy truck that you love playing with. You also have some stickers and markers that you can add to the truck to make it look different or cooler. Mods are like those stickers and markers that you can add to your favorite video game to make it different or better.

Mods can do all sorts of things like adding new levels, characters, items, or abilities that weren't in the original game. As an example, if you were playing a car racing game you might download a mod that adds new cars to the game. You could race in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini instead of just the ordinary cars that came with the game.

Some mods can also fix problems or bugs in the game, making it a better experience overall. Think of it like fixing a broken toy so that it works better.

But just like with toys, you have to be careful with mods. Some mods might not work well with the game or might even break it. It's important to always download mods from trusted sources and read reviews to make sure they are safe to use.
