Is downloading mods a hobby?

Morrowind has so many now, even back when it came out, there was a huge number of websites with mods for it. All providing mods for, JUST, Morrowind.

 

Trying to get them all to work was a hobby. Burning up hard drives, CD, DVD drives and other computer parts and building a new computer became a hobby.

 

After a hundred or so websites I visited with mods and Morrowind forums with modders discussing their work etc. I discovered a way to channel the energy from some of the headaches Ye Ol' Puter was giving me. I found technical advice web pages.

 

After many tweaks, from forum member offering help I learned how to make a computer, from parts and which parts were important for the game... MORROWIND... The first time signed up with a forum was an incredible experience.

 

Since I was not a modder it was a total ink spot on my tie experience.

 

Later, that same year I found myself drawn to TESnexus from Canadian Ice and Howndog's forum.

 

And yet another ton of mods to check out and play.

 

I found oodles of good to EXCELLENT mods. At Telesphoro's List of Mods there is a great number in the list I did download. And many other websites I found which had some mods that were complete redoes and overhauls for Morrowind.

 

Yeah! I think that downloading mods for Morrowind was a hobby. Mainly; because I didn't expect anyone from any other company, not even Bethesda Softworks, to ever make a better game then Morrowind.

 

I was Wrong! :sad:

 

Or was I?! :mellow:

 

Hm?

 

So many games, mods for them, and so little time.

Used to be working on cars..... anything from minor repairs to complete, frame-off restorations. Health issues nixed that particular hobby. Now, I just play with computers, and various computer games. Still work on cars/trucks/tractors when I have to, but, of late, I have been solving those problems the american way..... I pay someone else to deal with it. :D

Writing stories.

 

Cooking and baking (but never eating it. I hate eating and usually skip most of my meals).

 

Cleaning. I might do it too much, actually.

 

Helping people online. Whether it be with technical difficulties (which I'm not an amazing help at) or suicide prevention/therapy etc.

 

Playing video games.

 

And, of course,

 

Modding my all-time favorite game,

 

Skyrim.

I'm going with downloading Mods is a Hobby!

 

The alternative is some kind of psychosis or mental illness judging by how much time I spend researching, downloading and testing Mods.

So yeah...HOBBY.
