well valient you should probably email the dev of that game with your
mods explaining those so it can be included in a future version since
this is quite important.
I am not deaf so if I make a game I can't adapt it because I don't
know how, if someone mods it for me and gives me that mod then I can
put it in probably.

I have some food for more thought on this discussion.
That is, with certain games, I have to mod them in order to play
them. That is, with my hearing problems, sometimes I need to silence
a crowd or turn up a beep sound. Sometimes I have to turn down music
in a menu where many developers seem to forget to allow it to be
turned down or off.
I'm not trying to argue against the prevention of modding, just
wanted to throw that out there for people to know about.
