This, aside from the NAM mod, is the most useful Sim City 4 mod of all time. This extra cheats mod adds cheats that allow you to set your treasury to whatever amount of simoleons you like (effectively creating an infinite money cheat), to turn off both power and water requirements for buildings, to change your town’s name, to enable God Mod tools,

All you need to do to install this mod is download a simple plugin, put it in the plugins folder, and then start your game. It couldn’t be easier, and the results couldn’t be more better. If you’re tired of seeing your Sim cities running at a constant deficit just because you gave the people water and schools, this is the plugin you need. It does speed up the game considerably, and yes, it removes some of the challenge, but if you’ve been playing long enough to want this mod, then you’ve probably enjoyed all the ‘challenge’ the game has to offer.

This mod adds an entire island to Skyrim, an Asian themed Akavir island to be precise. The Akavir have been part of Elder Scrolls lore for quite some time, but they’ve made few appearances in the game(s) itself. But all that has changed now with this workshop enabled Akavir mod that adds a whole new location to Skyrim.

In addition to basic locations, new houses, new architecture and a general new Akavir aesthetic, this mod also adds a whole lot of new functionality and game mechanics, including archery targets which give experience whilst you train, and reward shots taken at a distance over those taken close up, new shrines, sparring NPCs who will help you train in the ways of the Akavir and more!

Camping and minecraft go together like cheese and ham. They’re so naturally intuitively connected that it seems very off that tents and camp fires aren’t part of the base game. With this forge compatible minecraft camping mod, you can now build tents, sleep in tents, create campfires (of all colors) and cook on them too. This is therefore the perfect mod for anyone who likes to play an exploratory style minecraft survival game. Now you can wander the wilds, pitching your tent when night falls, collecting the occasional bit of bacon and steak along the way and cooking sausages up by the fire in the evening.

With this mod, you need never build another dirt house again, and if you want to carry some supplies, no worries, you can create ‘storage tents’ capable of holding a double chest each. So if you decide you want to stay in an area for a whole, you can build a large camp to house you, your goods and perhaps even corral off an area for some animals, as nomadic people are wont to do.

In spite of the impressive graphics Skyrim boasts, somehow every Skyrim character you generate seems to look like the same person. This is especially true in the Nord, Breton, Redguard (human races.) The Skyrim Race Menu allows you to customize your character’s appearance with much more specific controls, so you can make your Skyrim character look like you want it to look. You can now perhaps resurrect some of your old favorites from Oblivion and Morrowind. (That would be amazing, wouldn’t it? An Oblivion character importer?)

Modders love taking games and putting them into other games, and Zelda, being one of the most popular and well loved games of all time, is a natural fit for the Elder Scrolls, which is also one of the most popular and well loved games of all time. Although in a completely different sort of way. If you love both games, well, it’s about time you paid a visit to Clock Town, Skyrim style.

This Zelda for Skyrim mod adds a whole bunch of locations from the Majora’s Mask game into Skyrim. Of course, one can’t have a giant angry looking moon hanging over Whiterun, so the Majora’s Mask locations can be accessed through a portal near Falkreath. The modder in charge of this project is painstakingly recreating all the locations from Majora’s Mask through that portal, so yes, you’ll be able to run around in a Skyrim Clocktown (probably minus the annoying aggressive dogs.)

Adding multiplayer modes to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is God’s work. There, I said it. I don’t know why I said it, but like everything else in Grand Theft Auto, excuses and reasons are secondary to doing things that just seem fun at the time. This is no rinky dink little mod, this is a multiplayer extravaganza, hosting over ten thousand Grand Theft Auto players at a single time. In the blink of an eye, like a speeding bullet. Sorry, I’m doing it again, aren’t I? Someone get me a tank!

You know that old saying, there’s plenty more fish in the sea? Well, not in minecraft there isn’t! At least, there hasn’t been until now. Slappy McCracken and his wife have been hard at work getting their Ocean Life expanded minecraft fish mod into shape for the looming 1.5 release.

So what is there to look forward to in this minecraft fish mod? A whole lot. You’ve got schooling fish, predatory fish, frogs to leap upon the lily pads and plants too, like corals and sunflowers and aquatic plants (that’s right, finally some minecraft plants that grow in the water.!)

A whole new Breezehome interior awaits with this Skyrim mod that remodels and redecorates Breezehome in Whiterun, making it something worthy of the Dragonborn Dovahkiin.

If you’re anything like me – and being a carbon based life form, you are at least a little, then you find Breezehome to be something of a disappointment. Even with all the interior decorations to be purchased from the Whiterun Steward, Proventus Avenicci, it’s still a wee bit odd. Who decorates a home with barrels and sacks?

Let’s face it, the default interior of Breezehome is embarrassing. You walk in the front door and find yourself standing slap bang in the middle of a fire pit. Behind that is a long table filled with food for guests you will never have to dinner. Off to the side is an Alchemy nook, which is all very well and good. There’s just one place to store books, and it is very limited, so anybody who enjoys collecting Skyrim books is right out of luck. The second story of the home is equally lackluster. Lydia’s room is so small she’s never actually in it, preferring to sit in the corner of your room and eat your food, presumably watching you whilst you sleep.

Feeling thirsty? How about in minecraft? This minecraft thirst mod adds a thirst mechanic, forcing players to keep themselves hydrated if they want to stay in the game. Titled the ‘Minecraft Hydration Mod’ by its creator, the mod is simple enough. It’s designed for servers (and is technically a server plugin for the Bukkit/Sproutcraft server set up), but you can use it in single player if you set up a single person server on your computer.*

How To Use The Minecraft Thirst Mod

The hydration/ thirst mod adds a leather pouch full of water to the game. Players must keep a full water pouch on them at all times, or they will start to become thirsty – and thirst is a terrible thing. Initial dehydration isn’t so bad, but once it becomes more severe hallucinations are not far off – and then there’s the constant loss of health to worry about too. If a player doesn’t find water, they will suffer a death of thirst.

Gettin’ tired of the same old New Vegas quest lines? Looking for something new? The New Vegas Bounty Hunter mod adds all new quests to Fallout: New Vegas, turning the hapless Courier into a Bounty Hunter. So if you’re done with Benny and you’ve already fixed all the solar panels you care to and you’re looking for some action, this is the mod you want. There are no puzzles to solve as a bounty hunter, nor are there quest items to fetch. Instead you’ll be faced with dangerous criminals on the run who need to be bought down and taken in – assuming they don’t get to you first!

Channel your inner dog. Or find something a little stronger than pepper spray to subdue the wasteland’s criminal scum with.
