Modding can be done by altering game mechanics and user interfaces to overshadow the older ones. These new modified versions are then called Game Mods. 

Game Mods are often unofficial patches developed/created by fans or players for the games they like. Many players get bored of the vanilla version of the game but still enjoy and love the game; so, they modify it according to their taste.
