Mods, Hack, Global Mods, Global Hacks...

I've always been curious as to what the difference is between a Mod, a Hack, and a Global Mod, and a Global Hack.

At first, I thought a Mod was something that altered the entire game, like Closer Family, or the Inteenimator, and that a Hack was something that altered the way an object was used, like the Sinful Shower.

But now I'm finding what people call Hacks can also be very game altering like mods and vice versa: mods can be very similar to what I believed was a Hack (Alarm Clocks on Tables [Mod]).

Then, now there are what are called Global Mods, and Global Hacks?

I'm just curious - are the Globals what alter the way the game is played and the regular mods / hacks really the same thing that just affect individual things, such as moods and objects?

This might help you out.

Okay, thanks.

Mods and Hacks? Same thing?

A big reason I'm asking is because I'm past due on the routine maintenance and housekeeping of the Sims files and I just wanted to know what to put where for my own reference.
