I always look for mods that make the game better. There are always mods full of god items and the like but I simply don't care for those.

Sometimes to fix the game, sometimes to just add content. A great example of something I got just to fix the game was the Gentlemen of the Row mod pack for Saints Row 2 on PC - fixes a very large amount of issues, and it also includes some really neat extra stuff.

The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod. Need I say more? Well yes, otherwise I'm banned from the website. Without this mod, the criminally underrated KOTOR2 would have faded into obscurity, rather than remaining one of the high points of Star Wars related media.

A little of both actually. I used to make mods a long time ago and they were usually to make a game play how I wanted it to play. However Ive done some silly stuff as well just for the hell of it.

Its been a long time since Ive made mods but I still use them. Some mods can add hours of content, some mods can fix bugs, some mods can give you new aesthetic gear, some mods can add, change, or remove mechanics. Overall mods are amazing things that can make a game much better and since its all optional you can add what works for you and leave the rest behind.

Personally I wish consoles could mod their games but for the moment its just a PC thing and IMO it makes each game have a longer shelf life. I mean morrowind was made in 2002 I think and it still has a strong modding community

Both but at first you only really want to touch the make the game better stuff like fixes, patches, texture packs, skin packs. After you've got a hang of it or are getting bored with the game, then you might want to install the extra quests, or the wacky mods or the role playing stuff. The more wackier and role playing mods can change the gameplay a lot and usually might throw a few bugs out there with how much they really change the game and where you get the mod from.

Both.

Some games just DEMAND that you mod them with custom content by design, Unreal Tournament being a prime example. So many great mods, maps, and weapons I've seen for UT that surpass even my favorite AAA games...

It depends on the game in question. Most of the time I use mods that fix or tweak gameplay aspects I find lacking or new content that still fits the setting.

Take Morrowind, for example. As much as I love that game, I simply cannot bring myself to play the vanilla version anymore. I have a small stable of mods that improve the game in various ways, including balance changes, gameplay tweaks and new lore-friendly content, including new landmasses to explore and enemies to fight.

Occasionally I'll download a silly mod for kicks, but I tend to discard them after fooling around for an hour or two.

It's not perfect, but it's amazingly effective for what it is.
