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?

KSP is a perfect example of a game that doesn't need any mods to be an enjoyable experience (albeit a steep learning curve), but is SO enhanced by them. The visual mods give you breathtaking views to keep you going, while the parts mods (especially the science parts mods) add additional direction and goals beyond the stock games initial appeal of just figuring out rocket science and orbital mechanics. The KSP community is one of the best communities I've ever been a part of on the internet, and I've been around since early dialup modems.
