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?

I'd say it is definitly not any TES game. While the engine and released tools give amazing modding capabilities, it is still fine without mods. Back in the day, I spend 800 euro on a videocard just to graphically mod Skyrim. And I have no regrets. But I just as well regularily play on the Switch curreny, as I van continue on the train. Similarily I still booted Oblivion on my PS3 a while back. I feel TES games improve with mods, but aren't tge worst without.

Now for a game that "nééds mods" rather "thas great modding capabilities" I would say the first that comes to mind for me is Mugen. That old fighting game game with 1 stage and 1 character out of the box, but thousands of community made characters, stages, and new character select screens. It caused some videos of the ridiculous (in the best way) fights in a time YT was mainly weird but fun.
