So it really is just for when you think a character should look different? Interesting. I'm not an artist, so that wouldn't have occurred to me, but I have hacked up scripts and stats when they annoy me (e.g. "Whaddaya mean I can only carry one grenade at a time? That's stupid!"), which I suppose is much the same thing.

Yes, its just cosmetic. Hacking the grenade count is what I would consider to be a gameplay mod, and there is a third category, UI mods, featured in WoW. With some overlap between them.
I think people who pay for games should be able to do all types of mods, but developers often think otherwise, or, maybe they just don't have time to build mod support into the game.
