What is a "mod"?

Post » Wed Mar 17, 2010 10:11 am

Hello... I discovered the suit and note for Vault 77 and heard the vault was in a particular location. After searching that entire area I finally gave up. I was later told to forget wasting my time and energy hunting for it there as the vault and location place mentioned was just a "mod". Can someone please explain what a mod is...? Thanks...! :whisper:

mod = modification

Bethesda uses a plugin system, has released a level editor tool, called the GECK, and it authors plugins, called esp or esm files. Modders have used that to add additional fan made content to the game, it works in much the same vane as Bethesdas own DLC expansion content.

there are no mods for consoles, only for PCs
