Let’s kick off our “The best PC games for…” series<\/a> by showing you some of the most customizable computer games.<\/p>\n

If you get bored easily and like to change up your gameplay, you’re likely\u00a0into mods, amendments for certain PC games<\/strong> that can change the entire game with a couple of free downloads and a few clicks.<\/p>\n

Mods are perfect for changing\u00a0the face of a character you don’t like, discovering new landscapes, and\u00a0enjoying the game in ways<\/strong> that even\u00a0the\u00a0original creators couldn’t have imagined. Here, we show you 5 great games that let you\u00a0use mods to get an entirely new gaming experience.<\/p>\n

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"GTAThis GTA is, on its own merits, a favorite in the series for many\u00a0users, even more so than the excellent\u00a0fifth installment<\/a>. The reason?\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0story and characters\u00a0are tremendously charismatic, along with some really\u00a0fun missions. Add\u00a0to this\u00a0an almost infinite number of possibilities\u00a0for\u00a0customizing gameplay on PC using mods, <\/strong>and its not hard to understand why. <\/strong><\/p>\n

GTA San Andreas mods are\u00a0easily manageable with Mod Installer<\/a>, letting\u00a0you change\u00a0anything from a relatively simple\u00a0aesthetic improvement, such as more vehicles<\/a> or a snow scene, to amazing changes in gameplay. Yup, with minor free modifications, you can enjoy multiplayer mode, be attacked by zombies<\/a>,\u00a0or experience\u00a0(almost) anything else you can think of.<\/p>\n

Grand Theft Auto IV<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GTA San Andreas is a great game, but unfortunately, the graphics look dated. Luckily, GTA IV, the next in the series, also has plenty of mods that let you\u00a0fine tune it to your liking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the one\u00a0you’ll notice\u00a0most is the one that turns your adventures with Niko Bellic into those\u00a0lived by Carl Johnson<\/strong> in San Andreas. But this isn’t\u00a0the only one that deserves our attention:\u00a0elephants, superheroes, and third person views are all on the list too.<\/p>\n

The Sims 3<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Since the\u00a0first generation of Sims, which debuted in 2000, the game\u00a0has been famous for having endless ways to play. This not only includes\u00a0multiple expansions<\/strong>, but mods as well.<\/p>\n

This hit a peak with The Sims 3, which hid\u00a0thousands of ways to tease\u00a0them out. You can, as always,\u00a0change your characters’ outfits to fit with the latest fashion or look like your idols, as well as being able to\u00a0enjoy entirely new\u00a0neighborhoods. <\/strong>Going even\u00a0a little bit further, you can also modify any animation, action or aspect of the game that doesn’t quite\u00a0suit\u00a0you.<\/p>\n

The question will be if The Sims 4<\/a> can support mods as well as the other games in the series.<\/p>\n

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

One of the great incentives to play Skyrim on PC, in addition to the improved graphics (provided you have powerful machine), is its great mod community. Are you bored with the fantasy theme<\/strong>? Are you sick of always using the same armor?<\/p>\n

Skyrim can meet any of your aesthetic or gameplay <\/em>fantasies – it’s a game that has mods that can alter\u00a0the game in both aspects. You can even experience something as unexpected as\u00a0riding on the back of a My Little Pony. If you think we’re exaggerating,\u00a0follow this link<\/a> to see how much fun you can have with the game. Even if the mod you want is not on the network, you can always create your own with the Skyrim Creation Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"TheIf you like to dance, there’s a Skyrim mod for that too<\/em><\/p>\n

Minecraft<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Minecraft\"<\/p>\n

We couldn’t write this piece without\u00a0mentioning Minecraft, the king of all\u00a0mods. Born as an indie project, this Mojang game\u00a0has grown in both community and options, most of them made \u200b\u200bby users themselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Minecraft can’t be explained. It’s a living thing,\u00a0and it’s\u00a0built on the fly so that each game is unique. Play using a World\u00a0of Warcraft map<\/a>,\u00a0with a cubic version of Far Cry 3<\/a>, with a particular version of Zelda<\/a>, or if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, in\u00a0Westeros itself. With Minecraft,\u00a0anything is possible. Even more importantly, installing it is easy when you use an application like Modloader for Minecraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Game<\/p>\n

Game of Thrones fever has even reached Minecraft thanks to the work of users <\/em><\/p>\n

The limit? Your imagination!<\/h3>\n

These five games have some of the largest modding communities, but they’re not the only ones offering this feature. Think of any PC game and we’re sure you’ll be able to change some of its\u00a0options or expand the boundaries of its universe. Give it a try!<\/p>\n
