Are questions about mods to game on topic?

For example "How can I play as infernal in Fall From Heaven II" for Civ IV.

I'd say mod-playing yes, but mod-making should be handled at gamedev, see Do mod- and map-making questions belong here? – Zommuter Sep 27 '10 at 8:19

I don't see why not? A Mod like "Fall From Heaven" is essentially another game that happens to be built on an existing one. And we don't exclude games based on platform or genre in general, I see nothing about this specific case that would be problematic.

As for other mods, we've had plenty of questions like this one about mods to improve the baseline experience of a game - and I certainly don't see why they wouldn't be germane to our mission.

Fully agreed. We even have a separate tag for Defense of the Ancients, which isn't a game at all but simply a Warcraft 3 map. So a mod to a game that is an actively played game is, for all intents and purposes that we need to care about, on-topic. – Grace Note♦ Sep 26 '10 at 21:49

Questions about mods should definitely be on-topic, whether they are prominent or not.

Questions for all mods are on topic. However, if the mod or the game is too obscure, we may not able to answer you. Give a download link if possible to help us help you.
