Fair warning, game mods can take over your life too. Though I'd agree they can be easier and often can build on the community of the game your modding.

Another risk with mods is the game owner can shut you down at any moment, if public. I'll probably never do another mod or reuse someone else's IP for anything beyond very small prototypes. There are just so many tools now that you shouldn't have to.
