With PCs, mods are essential in many games just to keep them stable- Fallout 3, for example, has issues with Windows 8- but mods for Bethesda games go way beyond normal gameplay. Personally I play through the games once in vanilla (with bug fixing mods) and then add graphical mods and other stuff. For the most part I leave gameplay intact, but the extra content is amazing. Several Skyrim mods even have their own voice acting! I also like tinkering with settings and configurations, so getting large groups of mods working well together isn't really a big deal for me.

I've talked to some people about this and many believe that automation is a big problem for jobs, but almost everyone didn't think that a post-work society could ever happen.
