What game is improved the most by mods? (beehaw.org)

I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there's games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were "saved" by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?

Definitely RimWorld. There's so many mods that improve the base game. From QoL mods that make you wonder why that isn't default in the vanilla game, to mods that complety overhaul the actual win condition. Just overall a really fun, replayability, frustrating game.

Use mods though. It'll make it better. Check out p-music mod while you're at it.

Fr. I usually run between 450 to 550 mods. Just recently I've been learning how to optimize the types of mods I have loaded for performance, because after some time in-game it chugs.

Lol I run about 100ish depending, just mostly QoL and some additional control aspects. More gear etc.

I'm in the same bag, I should have ~100 mods. It still feels vanilla - RimWorld, Minecraft, and Factorio feel really weird in this aspect.

Yeah, i probably should do the same but, yk you take off one or two mods after hours of scouring your load order and put 5 or so in their place in a couple minutes.
