Often the name '''modification''' (or "mod" for short) is used interchangeably with '''addon'''.

Some mods are standalone, able to run without any additional software. Others are built on libraries such as [[Sea]] or [[Ace_(Addons)|Ace]]. Still others, such as [[Cosmos]], are compilations of many individually-developed mods.
