Mods in general i think are born from a few things:
1.) Something thats broken and a modder tries to fix it.
2.) Something is annoying, and a modder tries to make it less annoying.
3.) Something is historically incorrect, and it bugs someone enough to try and change it.
4.) Something isn't "realistic" enough to someones perception/interrpretation of the word, and they try to "fix" it.
But despite all that, i think what develops in terms of mods for SHIV is entirely dependant on its final patch, and the state of the game after said patch.
In terms of supermods, i personnaly really do not want a repeat of what went on behind the scenes in SH3's modding community. yes some decent stuff came out of it, but the drama at times was just too much. Certain attitudes and/or persona's should, i feel, leave the "baggage" behind in SH3 where it belongs before checking into the SH4 modding motel.
