A person who creates modifications or "mods" to video games. They do this by adding or manipulating content and code, typically via an API provided by the game's developers.
These modifications can be as simple as altering the mechanics of a weapon in an fpsds, or as complex as turning one game into an entirely different one. Tha latter being known as a total conversion.

By creating the "Counter Strike" mod for "Half Life", Minh Le and Jess Cliffe have become famous modders.

A total conversion when used with respect to video games, is a type of mod that alters the game to such a degree that it either no longer, or very loosely resembles the original game.
Because "Counter Strike" was created as a total conversion of "Half Life", the gameplay is completely different.
