Mods are awesome and the ability to make and use mods are some of the best things about PC gaming. Personally though I don't like using them that often.
1. they are a hassle. Hunting for the right mod can be a pain.
2. If I don't like it often I had to uninstall and reinstall the game to get it back to vanilla.
3. Mods often have vague decisions of the affect they have. Lacking the detail needed to make a decision of weather or not you want to mod your favorite game.
4. I find that I often have to finish the game at least once vanilla to know weather or not I like the affect of the mod.
5. Mods are often not play tested and can result in some undesirable things happening. I remember when I was playing System Shock 2 and thought about install a mod that would stop the enemies from spawning. However I later found out that had I installed such a mod I would've gotten stuck and not been able to finish the game.
Some of my favorite mods are Brutal Doom, Quake Epsilon and Eduke32. What I like most about these mods is that they don't affect the initial install. So you can go back and fourth between vanilla and modded and see what one you prefer.
What are your experiences with mods?
