Check the Internet for modifications to the game. The fact that different engines respond differently to the creation of Amateur mods: for example, the legendary Source has hundreds, if not thousands, of Amateur modifications. This is due to the fact that the product Valve is a very flexible and affordable tool for user and master it is not as difficult as it seems. On the other hand, find fashion Bioshok is almost impossible, because the game is very closed, and something in her to change or Supplement quite difficult. That is why the number of add-ons for games on the Internet directly characterizes the complexity of their production.

Explore built-in and custom tools. The easiest way of production mods in the editor. Most often they are present in the strategies as "editors": one of the most powerful, for example, is the editor for the game Warcraft 3.
