Modifications in games, or How to become bandits

Someone in his childhood dreamed of becoming an astronaut, someone - a lifeguard, others, on the contrary, dream of being bandits. Partially realize our latent desires help computer games.

Often in virtuality it is offered to become a positive hero, but on the contrary it happens much less often. How in "Skyrim" to become a bandit, a pimp, a drug lord? Usually game developers with open world promise huge opportunities from the very beginning: you can do anything, but when it comes to release, it turns out that half of the promises remain unrealized. Players want to rob caravans, distribute representatives of ancient trades, and the developers respond: "Sorry did not have time."

What to do if you really want to rob caravans, and do wrong? To the aid will come fashion. After all, constantly playing for the positive side and constantly saving the princesses is already boring: the plots of most games are written as if under a carbon paper, and to meet the truly original becomes more difficult.

What is fashion, or How to become bandits

Modifications are usually understood to mean altered game resources made either with third-party programs or with official SDKs. SDK is a program provided by the developers, with the help of which they did the game, but, probably, with the cut-down capabilities. In other words, if you do not have the desired ability, grouping, or object according to the scenario, you can add it yourself if you want, using third-party programs or the official development environment for mods if you have one.

Also, it is not necessary to confuse modifications with additions or, as they are also called, addons . Addons (from English add - add) expand the game world, introduce new characters, complicate the script or continue it. Addons - this is an outlet for developers, when the game is planned to be large, and realize all the plans so far there is no possibility.

Addons allow you to expand the game world over time. Often these additions are like a new game. "Blood and Wine" for "The Witcher 3" is a living example.

With modifications and mods everything is clear

But what to do to become a bandit? For this, it is not necessary to write your own modification. So, if you go the most difficult way, creating your own fashion from scratch, you need certain knowledge and time. And I want to become a bandit today and join as fast as possible to the forces of the dark side. In such cases, it is necessary to find a ready-made modification on the sites of a suitable subject.

Go to the site http://www.nexusmods.com/games/.

Choose a game, for example, Skyrim.

Then choose Files-> Browse files.

Enter the keyword bandit and see all the modes on it - their huge number. For convenience, open each new mod in a new tab to not close the main window for searching for mods.

A couple of words about installing mods and how they become bandits

Installation of mods is a material for a separate article, but the essence is reduced to downloading the program Nexus Mod Manager. You may need to register on the site nexumods.com, where English-language fashion lies, or tesall, or any similar. If you decide to learn English, then it's easier for you, just choose a mod on the site nexusmods.com and click "transfer" the download to Nexus Mod Manager.

If this is any other site, then you need to use the Add Mod from File menu, where the file is a pre-downloaded modification. By the way, Nexus Mod Manager supports archives. In other words, open Nexus Mod Manager, select +, continue to Add Mod From File and select the file with the mod as an archive.

Why do I need Nexus Mod Manager? Without this program, of course you can get by and unzip the mods directly into the game folder, but if you change your mind to become a bandit in Skyrim or any other game, you'll have to remember what is being copied and what is being replaced (to make copies of the original files). Nexus will do all this for you (copy, write where, when, make backup copies of the replaced files for you).

Banditry for other games

Modifications to "Stalker" (how to become a bandit (STALKER), and to other games) are installed in the same way, there is even the possibility to download a ready-made installation file with customized mods, and you can do everything yourself, tracing every file change and manually copying all Necessary files from the original game. Thus, in the game "Stalker" how to become a bandit ceases to be a problem for a gamer.

The article lists two games and their modifications, but the main principle remains the same for almost everyone.
