A mod is a modification to Supreme Commander. They change and enhance gameplay by adding units, changing unit abilities, or adding or changing game mechanics. Some mods are called total conversions, which change nearly everything about the game.
Using mods[]
Users install mods in the appropriate place in their Supreme Commander file (D:\Supreme Commander\gamedata For example) installation, and then enable them in the Extras menu in Supreme Commander. All players in a multiplayer game must be using the same mods. Some mods (eg UI Mods) can be used by an single player in a multiplayer game. Those Mods do not change anything on the units.
Creating mods[]
Although GPG created some simple mods that are included with Supreme Commander, anyone can create and distribute mods.
Mod creation refers to the process of creating a mod, or modified version of Supreme Commander. The new version can have just slight differences, like changed unit abilities or a new unit, or it can involve replacing almost the entire game (aside from the core engine), which is called a total conversion.
There are various articles on mod creation in this wiki, in the category mod creation.
