I think sometimes we mod, or want to mod, simply because we can. There's something to be said for personal taste, it's true. But I think if the picture of the real commander's quarters looked just like our SH3 representation, and the SH3 quarters looked like that picture of the real thing, we'd be saying we want it the other way. No flame intended here whatsoever, trust me, because I've fallen into that trap many a time, through many games. As I hungrily downloaded and installed FUBAR's new boat skins, I couldn't help but wonder: if the default boat skins looked like FUBAR's, and FUBAR had released instead the rusty, worn skins we got out of the box, I'd be downloading and replacing with as much anticipation, giddy that my boats would look old and war torn at last!
We mod because modding is fun. We ask for mods because they can be done (sometimes). That doesn't mean what we have is so bad.
Just MHO.
