Total conversion (nonfiction)

In the Unreal engine, a total conversion is a mod which bypasses the established game classes and starts at the engine core.

Discussion

Rather than use game-specific subclasses, TC's are implemented as subclasses of the base engine classes, such as the GameInfo class.

If your mod doesn't exist in the realm of the game's universe, or if you want to try something completely different, then a TC is the way to go. Just be aware that you will be doing everything from scratch.
