Mods are modifications or aditional functionality that a user can choose to add to a game make it more enjoyable. Modding is the process of altering the game and its data files to use these mods. Changes can vary from being completely cosmetic, to fundamental modifications to gameplay, such as changes to the technology tree.
In Galactic Civilizations II mods may allow the user to use more ship textures or different hulls (other than the ones that come with the game). These are just some of the possible mods as there might be other mods in the future that change different aspects of the game. The Mod folder that may provide these abilities has not yet been documented.
