===Unofficial patch=== An ''[[unofficial patch]]'' can be a mod of an existing game that fixes [[Software bug|bugs]] not fixed by an official patch or that unlocks content present in the released game's files but is inaccessible in official gameplay. Such patches are usually created by members of the game's fan base when the original developer is unwilling or unable to supply the functionality officially. ''[[Jazz Jackrabbit 2]]'' has an unofficial patch which adds and fixes many of its features.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=19489|access-date=15 March 2014 |title=JJ2+ (last updated October 30, 2013) |date=2013-11-01}}</ref> One effect of this type of mod is that hidden or partially deleted content can be revealed. An example is the [[Hot Coffee mod|''Hot Coffee'' mod]] for ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', which unlocks a sexually explicit minigame.<ref name="auto">{{cite journal|last1=Sotamaa|first1=Olli|title=On modder labour, commodification of play, and mod competitions|journal=[[First Monday (journal)|First Monday]]|date=3 September 2007|volume=12|issue=9|doi=10.5210/fm.v12i9.2006|doi-access=free}}</ref> The [[ESRB]] changed the rating of ''GTA:SA'' from ''Mature'' (M) to ''Adults Only'' (AO).<ref name="RerateToAORating">{{cite web | url = http://www.gamespot.com/news/6129500.html | title = San Andreas rated AO, Take-Two suspends production | work = [[GameSpot]] | publisher=[[CNET Networks]] | access-date = July 1, 2006 | date = 2005-12-14}}</ref> In the fourth quarter of 2005, Rockstar released a "clean" version of the game with the "Hot Coffee" scenes removed (''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' 1.01), allowing the rating of the game to be reverted to its original ''Mature'' rating.<ref name="RevertToMRating">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6152490.html |title=FTC Hot Coffee ruling scalds, but doesn't burn Take-Two |work=[[GameSpot]] |publisher=CNET Networks |access-date=July 1, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060708231006/http://www.gamespot.com/news/6152490.html |archive-date=July 8, 2006 |date=2006-06-08}}</ref> In May 2006, a similar event occurred with ''[[Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]''.<ref name="auto"/>
