You are kidding right?
Mods made me play loads of games over and over again, when there where new games to discover, you missed out on great moments with your clanmates because you kinda got stuck with the dinosaurs in your own little TS channel because 'simmers are different' ( and we love to encourage such thoughts don't we?). Dino's are survivors, like modders..we are still here and the others have gone, and gone, and gone etc..
But seriously if it weren't for the modders alot of my games would be for sale or disposed of, and it keeps me from buying a new PC cause i'm waaaay overspecced for things like SH3 GWX

, which is a nice thing.
Great topic btw, i like thankfull people.
