modding
Altering game code
Modding is the practice of modifying video games, software, or hardware—typically by users rather than original creators.
Game modding ranges from small tweaks to complete overhauls: The modding community created hundreds of new quests for Skyrim.
Hardware modding might mean customizing a car or computer case.
The term comes from modification, with the doubled consonant following standard spelling conventions for verbs ending in a short vowel plus consonant.
